Fantastic lawyer

Nathan is very knowledgeable, patient and empathetic. He took the time to understand my case and very quickly came up with a plan of action and dealt with my case very efficiently. He was absolutely non-judgmental which is so hard to find. I always felt that he was on my side and will do the best for... me. All in all, he helped me when I thought my situation was hopeless and got me a divorce with a result that I didn't think was possible. Thanks Nathan!

A lawyer who gets it

I had a ... complicated divorce. It stretched across multiple engagements over a year, and Nathan really took time to understand my situation throughout. His counsel was not always what I wanted to hear, but it was ALWAYS what I needed to hear, and I had complete confidence in his ability to nego...tiate in my interests. In the end, we got things resolved efficiently, I felt well-represented, and it meant a lot that he took time to ask after my kids and genuinely showed he cared for me and my family in a difficult situation. I'll be taking my business to Nathan going forward (but hopefully not too soon LOL)

Compassionate, ethical, knowledgeable attorney

I hired Nathan hoping for a fair, collaborative, and compassionate divorce. Achieving that turned out to be trickier than I’d imagined and Nathan’s deep knowledge of family law and genuine desire for equitable outcomes made that possible. Nathan recognizes that divorce is just one moment is the grand...er story of your life and getting through it with grace, fairness, and your values intact is what sets you up for success in what comes next: in my case, establishing a functional co-parenting relationship that was minimally damaged by the divorce process. At every step, Nathan deescalated tensions, doused flames, quelled fears, and steered toward resolution. After months of back-and-forth negotiations that were going nowhere, his recommendation toward mediation was exactly what we needed to work out the final disagreements and come to a final resolution without going to court. Nathan is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in family law and also very skilled at explaining and sharing that knowledge in a clear and easily understandable way. He’ll listen to your hopes and your unique situation and then diligently support you and uphold your values in every decision, communication, and negotiation. If every family law attorney was as professional and forthright as Nathan, I think more families would come out of the divorce process with less hostility and a better foundation for peaceful collaboration going forward.

Highly recommend working with Nathan

From the moment I stepped into the lobby of Seattle Divorce Services, I felt welcomed and was treated with empathy and kindness. I was fortunate to meet with Nathan Cliber and immediately connected with him as we went through the details of my case. He made such a life change not as horrible as I ima...gine it could have been. Throughout the collaborative process, Nathan explained every step and ensured I understood the process. He was kind, yet forthright, and didn't hesitate to guide me in the direction he seemed to know would guide me down the path for the best outcome for me and my children. Even through the pandemic, his responsiveness did not wane, which very much appreciated.

Brilliant work

I hired Nathan to help me attain full custody of my daughter. After years of litigation between myself and my ex-wife using other legal services, Nathan helped execute a verbal agreement and transform that into court approved documents in record time and at minimal expense. I was beyond impressed w...ith his kindness, communication, and elegance in dealing with both myself and my ex-wife. A genuine professional and a very nice human being. Very refreshing.

"I strongly endorse Mr. Cliber. Well versed in all aspects of family law and a stellar person, I have referred clients to Nate in the past knowing they would be in the best hands. I am fortunate to have known Nate since law school when we worked together in a clinical program. He has always impressed me with his commitment strong advocacy for his clients, his genuine compassion, and his high level of intelligence. I would call on Nate to cover my own cases if I had a need which is to say I trust him with my clients. This is the highest compliment another lawyer can offer."
