Excellent Attorney & Person

Words cannot adequately express how fortunate I feel to have found Nathan Cliber to handle my case. Not only was he an absolute pleasure to work with, but he was always upfront and direct about our chances of success and made sure I knew exactly what I was getting into if I wished to pursue certain a...ctions. He was considerate of my time (money), keeping me on track and focused when he could have chosen to sit back and let me ramble while he collected $100s. He approached sensitive topics with empathy and understanding. He somehow always knew when I needed gentle guidance and when I needed a firm reality check (which he did with professionalism and respect). Not only did I feel like he truly cared about me, my case, and my family, but I was confident he was giving me the best chances he possibly could. Nathan had my back every step of the way. If that wasn't enough, he was also so personable that talking to him felt like talking with a good friend I'd known for years. As I write this, we have made it through the largest hurdles and will likely soon be wrapping up and parting ways. As relieved as I am to have these battles almost over, I am also very sad that our time together is ending. I'll miss working with him, but it should go without saying that he will be the first I contact if I need legal assistance again. If you're looking, this is your guy. I couldn't have chosen better.

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)

Excellent attorney

Nathan did a wonderful job working a very difficult divorce. Dealt skillfully with custody, military matters, and accusations of abuse and mental disorder. It was, understandably, a long process, but the end result was exactly the fair and equitable conclusion that we pursued from day one. As an a...dded bonus, he's an absolute delight to work with—he's a consummate professional with a fantastic attitude and a great sense of humor. Having a bit of sunshine in one of the worst experiences in my life was invaluable. Nathan has my utmost confidence and highest recommendation!

Great advocate & partner

I contacted Nathan Cliber on the recommendation of a few friends who had recently used him to help with their divorces, and found in him a lawyer who truly cares not only about my well-being, but that of my former spouse as well. I felt like we were partners in the process, working together to come t...o a fair outcome for both parties. Nathan is humble, responsive, and thoughtful in his communication. He actually cares about not wasting his clients' money, and would be very frank about costs. He's also just a nice guy. When you're spending a lot of time with your lawyer, you want them to be someone with humor and integrity, and Nathan has that in spades. Since first working with Nathan, I have recommended him to multiple friends, and would work with him again without hesitation. He's one of the good ones, and helped me make the best out of a really difficult situation.

"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."
