Nate has been a HUGE help throughout my custody agreement with my son’s father. As a single mother I had not the nearest clue what was going to happen and I was referred to Nate by a family friend, from the consultation I knew that he was someone I could rely on and loved how upfront and honest he was with how things were going to go. Both he and Katelynn made me feel at ease whenever I didn’t understand a certain issue and always answered any questions or concerns I had. Despite some unpleasant encounters with the other party they still remained very professional and assertive. I know who I will go to if I ever need help again. They have helped remove a huge weight off my shoulders by being supportive of my decisions and standing by me. They completely understood why I wanted a graduated schedule for a parent with little involvement. You are amazing at what you do and I am forever grateful for you!

After a 7-month long high-conflict divorce process with another attorney I knew my case was not handled the way it should be. I reached out to a friend who referred me to Nate. Nate had to jump into a very high-conflict divorce litigation process and had to undo a lot of damage done by how my first attorney handled my case. Nate took on the job, buckled down, and put much effort into my case. He did not make promises that he could not keep and always gave his solid and professional opinion when I had questions. I had to learn to trust Nate because I had been burned by my previous counsel, but I listened to Nate, followed through with his legal counsel, and the outcome was better than I could have imagined. Justice was truly served and I would not have been able to get through this nightmare without Nate and his team. He is knowledgeable, competent, and I could tell he was well-respected by the judge and court staff. I would highly recommend Nate to anyone I know who is in need of professional legal services.

I highly recommend Nate Peterson for his outstanding representation. Nate is a genuinely kind and caring person, as well as being an ethical, knowledgeable and very capable attorney. I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders when he agreed to take my case; he was caring and compassionate. I would have been lost if I'd tried to handle my case by myself. In court, it was clear that Nate is well respected by other legal professionals. Nate was able to negotiate a much better outcome than I expected, and though he wrote that off to luck, I am sure it was his reputation of integrity that helped my case. Worth every penny. Thank you Nate!!

Nate went above and beyond for me, he made me feel very comfortable coming to him with a problem that I had! Other lawyers I had spoken with made me feel uneducated and uninformed. Not Nate, with him I felt heard and understood. Fortunately I did not need legal representation this time but I will never use another lawyer, Nate is my go-to! I would recommend him to anyone looking for legal representation.

Nate has been my lawyer for 6 years now and I am so grateful for him and his services. He has won multiple very nasty custody battles on my behalf as well as contempt cases. He is very knowledgeable and professional and gets the job done.

After a “less than ideal” situation with another attorney, I was sent to Nate to save me. I could not have been more pleased. Nate won my divorce case and I walked away with my full retirement, my home, and even primary custody of my child! His presence in the courtroom was exceptional and he is hands down the best lawyer I could have hoped for. He and his staff were fantastic with keeping me up to date of the situation and explaining everything before it happened. Anytime I would panic that a detail was slipping through the cracks, Nate would reassure me that everything was covered. You can not go wrong with Nate Peterson Law!

Nate is a cool, calm, and strategic professional. He gave us peace of mind through our entire contested adoption process. He developed a winning strategy that solidified our family. His communication with us ensured we were informed during the case. We never felt in the dark, alone, or surprised throughout the long process. Highly recommend Nate Peterson for any legal issues.
