This is the first time I felt like I was wrongly accused so I lawyered up. Nate is a rockstar and though all odds were against me, he somehow found a way for me not to do a day in jail. If I had to hire him again or refer him to a friend, there is no doubt in my mind that he couldn’t handle it. Best part is that he is straight to the point. Oh and side note, this guy is a giant.
I was never charged, so it was an easy case, but I was glad I found Mr. Wente. He cleared everything up quickly and assured me I had done nothing wrong. I'll probably never go to court, but if I do, it didn't take me long to decide I would want this guy to go to the plate for me. He has a strong head on his shoulders and a very good sense of justice.
Client reviews on AVVO are not within my control. If a particular client indicates that a specific result was achieved in their case this should not be accepted as an indication that other clients will necessarily see the same results.
When I am not lawyering I enjoy spending time with my family, working on home improvement projects, gardening, and traveling.

Grateful I found Nathan - His expertise, professionalism AND STATURE are a winning combination!
Nathan helped guide me in dealing with a DV arrest of my husband of 30 years, due to my calling the police. A Dr. prescribed medication slowly caused personality changes and eventually aggression which was difficult to assess. My husband needed help getting off the medication, not jail time, which thankfully I was able to facilitate, thanks to Nathan helping me navigate the mess with the system, and helping extricate me from the system. It was a horrendous time and I was extremely grateful to have Nathan as my attorney. Nathan was also very professional when it came to billing. He always communicated with me about where we were at so I could make sure I used his services wisely and most effectively. He was also very prompt at returning my communications. And I almost forgot since we communicated mostly through emails and phone calls, that I learned after hiring Nathan that he is a GIANT of a man. His stature and expertise are an excellent combination. I highly recommend Nathan to anyone needing expert guidance and advocacy who's found themselves mixed up in the system.

Thank you
Nathan Wente saved my life! I am a young adult who was dealing with my first criminal offense - being accused of animal abuse in the 1st and 2nd degree. I was ridiculously charged without investigation nor communication with the women who reported me. This was an extremely difficult matter for my family and I, speaking I am no where near a person with bad intentions, pursuing a career in nursing, and a full time college student. When I found out I was being charged with animal abuse, I called about every lawyer in the Rogue Valley and felt Nathan was the most understanding, beyond willing, and capable of taking on a case like this. He was extremely communicative and took on this case like a bada** with no hesitation to be responsive and confident for this BS of a case. Because of Nathan, I wouldn’t be where I am today without his help. He helped my family and I achieve the BEST possible outcome. My case has now been dismissed, and I can finally breathe and go on with my life. Nathan is your guy, the lawyer you need. I know I will turn to him if I need any help in the future. He was worth every penny!

I could not be more grateful for the representation that I received from Mr. Wente. By the time I stood in front of the judge he had already negotiated a reduced sentence and a fine reduction. Thank you again Mr Wente

Professional, Understanding!
My experience with Nathan D Wente has been excellent. he set expectations from the get-go and all email responses were timely. My alleged moving infraction was successfully dismissed. being a commercial driver and having a moving violation on your record is a no go! I'll highly recommend his services for any alleged traffic violations.
Thank you, Nathan!

Prompt and Professional
Working with Nathan D Wente on my criminal driving case has been more than smooth. Not only did he promptly answer my calls even when on a family camping trip he professionally iterates his ideas and reviews yours carefully to leave you with the least reprucussions possible as well as feeling respected and on the same level. He was quick, helpful and priced very reasonable for his dependability. In the end with ease and calm attitude turnes my possible and original 2-3 charges including reckless driving into a mear traffic citation. Highly recommend Nathan D Wente Attorney at Law

Marijuana conviction
Nathan helped me through the darkest days of my life. He Was very responsive when I contacted him and throughout my whole ordeal. and was very knowledgeable, kind and always found and answer for every question I had. He was also well respected by the judges. My case was not textbook in any way, he made sure he did every bit of research before moving forward with any of it. He never over charged me, and what he quoted me was what he charged. He was always very clear on what he was going to do, and what the courts could potentially do. I never felt like he was just telling me what i wanted to hear, he was always very honest and worked hard for me. If you want a respected, knowledgeable and very kind lawyer, I highly recommend Nathen.

Excellent Attorney
Nathan is an exceptional attorney. Some of the traits that stood out when I first spoke to him were
that he was honest, and had a firm grasp of what needs to be done. My case was complicated because of two issues, and he came up with a brilliant strategy to deal with them. Unlike, other lawyers he also made sure to think of something that is more economical to me. He charged me a flat fee, and did not charge anything extra. I am very grateful to him, for treating me without any prejudice, and handling my case with utmost professionalism. The outcome was much better than what I expected, thanks to his persistent efforts, the case was dismissed. If you want a smart and reliable attorney, Nathan is your guy.

"I write to offer my enthusiastic endorsement of Nathan Wente as a remarkable criminal defense attorney. I do not know Nathan personally, but I have had the pleasure of spending the last couple of days watching Nathan present a thorough, concise and, most importantly, effective defense. I am most impressed with Nathan's ability to adapt to the strategies of the prosecution, to keep the jury engaged, and to refocus the trial when necessary. I would recommend the services of Nathan Wente without reservation as he is clearly a dedicated advocate who can keep the jury's attention as he cuts through the irrelevant and delivers a compelling defense."
Criminal defense Attorney | Aug 01
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I had the privilege of meeting Nathan after we had seen each other in court a few times. He is not afraid to stand strong for each one of his clients in court and spends his time making sure every detail of his cases is combed through and explored.
Nathan has trial experience from his time in the prosecutor's office in California. Do not fret, though, that experience does not make him unlikely to take your defense seriously or dedicated to the other side. Quite the opposite, it has given him a passion and a drive to really explore all of the possibilities in making sure your case does not go unchallenged. He is an engaging and caring friend, a dedicated advocate and a bold, unwavering voice. His penchant for finding the government in funny situations is a talent - I recommend Nathan for anyone in the Yreka or Medford areas."

"Nathan Wente is a driven and passionate attorney. Nathan believes in the U.S. Constitution and its protections for citizens of our country. I fully endorse Nathan as an attorney, as a person of integrity, and as a friend.
I have known Nathan since he was 12 years old, and I can confidently say that he is the most passionate and argumentative person I know. Nathan is not a cookie cutter attorney looking to make a buck. He fiercely advocates for his clients, and uses the whole breadth of law as a shield and a sword.
I am a fellow attorney, and I would not want to sit in the prosecutor's chair when Nathan is representing the defendant."
