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 grander 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.

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 imagine 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.

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 with 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.

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 added 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!

Nathan was courteous, a great listener, and very efficient. I appreciated how straightforward and frank he was, and he understood complexities of my case, and provided some options and information I wouldn't otherwise have known. He was prompt & responsive. I felt like I could trust his transparency, and he made a pathetic situation more doable.

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 to 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.

Came into the office for consultation, not knowing my next steps. I had filed a variety divorce documentation to the court, but as an amateur I really did not have any idea what I was doing. Nathan quickly assessed my confusion and provided effective guidance and was able give me an estimation and time line for resolution. Upon hiring, he quickly communicated the next steps and provided effective dialogue through conclusion to all parties involved in the process.

Recently, I struggled through the most traumatic ordeal of my life--my former husband developed a severe and sudden mental illness. After unsuccessfully trying to get him help, I finally turned to legal representation, because on my own, I didn't know where to begin. I asked a group of friends (via a private facebook group we all share to talk about lady stuff) who they might recommend to help offer guidance. *Eight* people suggested Nathan. From the very beginning, he listened with non-judgement and empathy; he immediately began to advocate for my family's wellbeing--helping me to choose a path that would help maintain my son's and my safety. He also went out of his way to help mitigate my legal expenses, which almost seems counterintuitive, but is also very much in line with his character. For instance, when I needed to obtain a protection order, Nathan explained how I could file with the court for free using non-profit-funded DV advocates. He explained that he'd be happy to help, but that the advocates were very helpful and offered the service for free. I have so much respect for his willingness to sacrifice his own earning potential in order to suggest what was best for *me.* Plenty of people wouldn't have cared that I was a single mom trying to get my career started, but with Nathan, I clearly wasn't just another client. At each step in the process, Nathan offered a number of potential strategies, detailing the risks/benefits of each. He was strongly invested in helping me obtain the best outcome for my family. I'm naturally a bit of an... optimist, I guess, and I needed an advocate who could be risk averse on my behalf. Nathan helped me make good choices at a time when I was far too traumatized to try to be my own advocate. He was definitely helping me to think about things pragmatically and proved to be a very strong legal advocate, in additional to being empathetic and ethical. It helped so much, knowing that my interests were taken care of by a civil professional who could also be a firm advocate when needed. He's exactly what I wanted in an attorney, as it turned out! This is the first time I've ever needed to hire a lawyer, and honestly, I hope it's one of the last (though it doesn't seem likely. So I'll end by saying that I'll count myself very lucky if my next attorney is as talented However, I'll be very luck , I hope that they're half as talented as Nathan.

I needed legal help for something very difficult and in the balance was the most precious being in my life, my wee daughter. I walked into Nathan's office because I needed help with my Domestic Violence Protection Order, DV PO for short, for all of those who are not fluent in legalese. I had consulted three non profits and the outlook was grim. I was not a woman who would allow my situation to elevate to the point where I was hospitalized. Proving and working with my situation was compound fed by my having fled my home state. Nathan did not give me a prognosis of roses and honey, but made me aware of alternatives that others had otherwise overlooked. He was the individual perfect for the job. He would take the time to research what he didn't know and made all efforts to provide the best legal advice possible. I was also greTful for his accommodation of difficult family members and working with me through my choppy financial circumstances. If I had money for Christmas Cards I would of sent him one. Next year and the years after he is on my list. Thank you Nathan! I don't really think 'great' in every language will sufficiently describe his work and efforts, it just is not good enough.

I came to Nathan when other possibilities had been exhausted and I needed a lawyer. The nature of my case was extreme. The other side was willing to stop at nothing to see they got their way and was using the courts in an, at best, questionable manner. There was an enormous amount of work to be done. Nathan's knowledge and diligent planning and execution, throughout the year or so my case went on, secured full custody of my child with protections in place. This gave us a buffer from the other party's harassing behavior. We are forever grateful to Nathan and his team!

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.

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 with 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.

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 added 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!

Nathan was courteous, a great listener, and very efficient. I appreciated how straightforward and frank he was, and he understood complexities of my case, and provided some options and information I wouldn't otherwise have known. He was prompt & responsive. I felt like I could trust his transparency, and he made a pathetic situation more doable.

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 to 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.

Came into the office for consultation, not knowing my next steps. I had filed a variety divorce documentation to the court, but as an amateur I really did not have any idea what I was doing. Nathan quickly assessed my confusion and provided effective guidance and was able give me an estimation and time line for resolution. Upon hiring, he quickly communicated the next steps and provided effective dialogue through conclusion to all parties involved in the process.

Recently, I struggled through the most traumatic ordeal of my life--my former husband developed a severe and sudden mental illness. After unsuccessfully trying to get him help, I finally turned to legal representation, because on my own, I didn't know where to begin. I asked a group of friends (via a private facebook group we all share to talk about lady stuff) who they might recommend to help offer guidance. *Eight* people suggested Nathan. From the very beginning, he listened with non-judgement and empathy; he immediately began to advocate for my family's wellbeing--helping me to choose a path that would help maintain my son's and my safety. He also went out of his way to help mitigate my legal expenses, which almost seems counterintuitive, but is also very much in line with his character. For instance, when I needed to obtain a protection order, Nathan explained how I could file with the court for free using non-profit-funded DV advocates. He explained that he'd be happy to help, but that the advocates were very helpful and offered the service for free. I have so much respect for his willingness to sacrifice his own earning potential in order to suggest what was best for *me.* Plenty of people wouldn't have cared that I was a single mom trying to get my career started, but with Nathan, I clearly wasn't just another client. At each step in the process, Nathan offered a number of potential strategies, detailing the risks/benefits of each. He was strongly invested in helping me obtain the best outcome for my family. I'm naturally a bit of an... optimist, I guess, and I needed an advocate who could be risk averse on my behalf. Nathan helped me make good choices at a time when I was far too traumatized to try to be my own advocate. He was definitely helping me to think about things pragmatically and proved to be a very strong legal advocate, in additional to being empathetic and ethical. It helped so much, knowing that my interests were taken care of by a civil professional who could also be a firm advocate when needed. He's exactly what I wanted in an attorney, as it turned out! This is the first time I've ever needed to hire a lawyer, and honestly, I hope it's one of the last (though it doesn't seem likely. So I'll end by saying that I'll count myself very lucky if my next attorney is as talented However, I'll be very luck , I hope that they're half as talented as Nathan.

I needed legal help for something very difficult and in the balance was the most precious being in my life, my wee daughter. I walked into Nathan's office because I needed help with my Domestic Violence Protection Order, DV PO for short, for all of those who are not fluent in legalese. I had consulted three non profits and the outlook was grim. I was not a woman who would allow my situation to elevate to the point where I was hospitalized. Proving and working with my situation was compound fed by my having fled my home state. Nathan did not give me a prognosis of roses and honey, but made me aware of alternatives that others had otherwise overlooked. He was the individual perfect for the job. He would take the time to research what he didn't know and made all efforts to provide the best legal advice possible. I was also greTful for his accommodation of difficult family members and working with me through my choppy financial circumstances. If I had money for Christmas Cards I would of sent him one. Next year and the years after he is on my list. Thank you Nathan! I don't really think 'great' in every language will sufficiently describe his work and efforts, it just is not good enough.

I came to Nathan when other possibilities had been exhausted and I needed a lawyer. The nature of my case was extreme. The other side was willing to stop at nothing to see they got their way and was using the courts in an, at best, questionable manner. There was an enormous amount of work to be done. Nathan's knowledge and diligent planning and execution, throughout the year or so my case went on, secured full custody of my child with protections in place. This gave us a buffer from the other party's harassing behavior. We are forever grateful to Nathan and his team!

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 grander 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.

I felt like I could trust his transparency, and he made a pathetic situation more doable.

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 to 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.

Came into the office for consultation, not knowing my next steps. I had filed a variety divorce documentation to the court, but as an amateur I really did not have any idea what I was doing. Nathan quickly assessed my confusion and provided effective guidance and was able give me an estimation and time line for resolution. Upon hiring, he quickly communicated the next steps and provided effective dialogue through conclusion to all parties involved in the process.

Recently, I struggled through the most traumatic ordeal of my life--my former husband developed a severe and sudden mental illness. After unsuccessfully trying to get him help, I finally turned to legal representation, because on my own, I didn't know where to begin. I asked a group of friends (via a private facebook group we all share to talk about lady stuff) who they might recommend to help offer guidance. *Eight* people suggested Nathan. From the very beginning, he listened with non-judgement and empathy; he immediately began to advocate for my family's wellbeing--helping me to choose a path that would help maintain my son's and my safety. He also went out of his way to help mitigate my legal expenses, which almost seems counterintuitive, but is also very much in line with his character. For instance, when I needed to obtain a protection order, Nathan explained how I could file with the court for free using non-profit-funded DV advocates. He explained that he'd be happy to help, but that the advocates were very helpful and offered the service for free. I have so much respect for his willingness to sacrifice his own earning potential in order to suggest what was best for *me.* Plenty of people wouldn't have cared that I was a single mom trying to get my career started, but with Nathan, I clearly wasn't just another client. At each step in the process, Nathan offered a number of potential strategies, detailing the risks/benefits of each. He was strongly invested in helping me obtain the best outcome for my family. I'm naturally a bit of an... optimist, I guess, and I needed an advocate who could be risk averse on my behalf. Nathan helped me make good choices at a time when I was far too traumatized to try to be my own advocate. He was definitely helping me to think about things pragmatically and proved to be a very strong legal advocate, in additional to being empathetic and ethical. It helped so much, knowing that my interests were taken care of by a civil professional who could also be a firm advocate when needed. He's exactly what I wanted in an attorney, as it turned out! This is the first time I've ever needed to hire a lawyer, and honestly, I hope it's one of the last (though it doesn't seem likely. So I'll end by saying that I'll count myself very lucky if my next attorney is as talented However, I'll be very luck , I hope that they're half as talented as Nathan.

I needed legal help for something very difficult and in the balance was the most precious being in my life, my wee daughter. I walked into Nathan's office because I needed help with my Domestic Violence Protection Order, DV PO for short, for all of those who are not fluent in legalese. I had consulted three non profits and the outlook was grim. I was not a woman who would allow my situation to elevate to the point where I was hospitalized. Proving and working with my situation was compound fed by my having fled my home state. Nathan did not give me a prognosis of roses and honey, but made me aware of alternatives that others had otherwise overlooked. He was the individual perfect for the job. He would take the time to research what he didn't know and made all efforts to provide the best legal advice possible. I was also greTful for his accommodation of difficult family members and working with me through my choppy financial circumstances. If I had money for Christmas Cards I would of sent him one. Next year and the years after he is on my list. Thank you Nathan! I don't really think 'great' in every language will sufficiently describe his work and efforts, it just is not good enough.

I came to Nathan when other possibilities had been exhausted and I needed a lawyer. The nature of my case was extreme. The other side was willing to stop at nothing to see they got their way and was using the courts in an, at best, questionable manner. There was an enormous amount of work to be done. Nathan's knowledge and diligent planning and execution, throughout the year or so my case went on, secured full custody of my child with protections in place. This gave us a buffer from the other party's harassing behavior. We are forever grateful to Nathan and his team!

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 grander 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.

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 imagine 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.

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 with 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.

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 added 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!

After unsuccessfully trying to get him help, I finally turned to legal representation, because on my own, I didn't know where to begin. I asked a group of friends (via a private facebook group we all share to talk about lady stuff) who they might recommend to help offer guidance. *Eight* people suggested Nathan. From the very beginning, he listened with non-judgement and empathy; he immediately began to advocate for my family's wellbeing--helping me to choose a path that would help maintain my son's and my safety. He also went out of his way to help mitigate my legal expenses, which almost seems counterintuitive, but is also very much in line with his character. For instance, when I needed to obtain a protection order, Nathan explained how I could file with the court for free using non-profit-funded DV advocates. He explained that he'd be happy to help, but that the advocates were very helpful and offered the service for free. I have so much respect for his willingness to sacrifice his own earning potential in order to suggest what was best for *me.* Plenty of people wouldn't have cared that I was a single mom trying to get my career started, but with Nathan, I clearly wasn't just another client. At each step in the process, Nathan offered a number of potential strategies, detailing the risks/benefits of each. He was strongly invested in helping me obtain the best outcome for my family. I'm naturally a bit of an... optimist, I guess, and I needed an advocate who could be risk averse on my behalf. Nathan helped me make good choices at a time when I was far too traumatized to try to be my own advocate. He was definitely helping me to think about things pragmatically and proved to be a very strong legal advocate, in additional to being empathetic and ethical. It helped so much, knowing that my interests were taken care of by a civil professional who could also be a firm advocate when needed. He's exactly what I wanted in an attorney, as it turned out! This is the first time I've ever needed to hire a lawyer, and honestly, I hope it's one of the last (though it doesn't seem likely. So I'll end by saying that I'll count myself very lucky if my next attorney is as talented However, I'll be very luck , I hope that they're half as talented as Nathan.

I needed legal help for something very difficult and in the balance was the most precious being in my life, my wee daughter. I walked into Nathan's office because I needed help with my Domestic Violence Protection Order, DV PO for short, for all of those who are not fluent in legalese. I had consulted three non profits and the outlook was grim. I was not a woman who would allow my situation to elevate to the point where I was hospitalized. Proving and working with my situation was compound fed by my having fled my home state. Nathan did not give me a prognosis of roses and honey, but made me aware of alternatives that others had otherwise overlooked. He was the individual perfect for the job. He would take the time to research what he didn't know and made all efforts to provide the best legal advice possible. I was also greTful for his accommodation of difficult family members and working with me through my choppy financial circumstances. If I had money for Christmas Cards I would of sent him one. Next year and the years after he is on my list. Thank you Nathan! I don't really think 'great' in every language will sufficiently describe his work and efforts, it just is not good enough.

I came to Nathan when other possibilities had been exhausted and I needed a lawyer. The nature of my case was extreme. The other side was willing to stop at nothing to see they got their way and was using the courts in an, at best, questionable manner. There was an enormous amount of work to be done. Nathan's knowledge and diligent planning and execution, throughout the year or so my case went on, secured full custody of my child with protections in place. This gave us a buffer from the other party's harassing behavior. We are forever grateful to Nathan and his team!

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 grander 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.

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 imagine 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.

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 with 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.

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 added 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!

Nathan was courteous, a great listener, and very efficient. I appreciated how straightforward and frank he was, and he understood complexities of my case, and provided some options and information I wouldn't otherwise have known. He was prompt & responsive. I felt like I could trust his transparency, and he made a pathetic situation more doable.

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 to 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.

Came into the office for consultation, not knowing my next steps. I had filed a variety divorce documentation to the court, but as an amateur I really did not have any idea what I was doing. Nathan quickly assessed my confusion and provided effective guidance and was able give me an estimation and time line for resolution. Upon hiring, he quickly communicated the next steps and provided effective dialogue through conclusion to all parties involved in the process.

Nathan helped me make good choices at a time when I was far too traumatized to try to be my own advocate. He was definitely helping me to think about things pragmatically and proved to be a very strong legal advocate, in additional to being empathetic and ethical. It helped so much, knowing that my interests were taken care of by a civil professional who could also be a firm advocate when needed. He's exactly what I wanted in an attorney, as it turned out! This is the first time I've ever needed to hire a lawyer, and honestly, I hope it's one of the last (though it doesn't seem likely. So I'll end by saying that I'll count myself very lucky if my next attorney is as talented However, I'll be very luck , I hope that they're half as talented as Nathan.

I needed legal help for something very difficult and in the balance was the most precious being in my life, my wee daughter. I walked into Nathan's office because I needed help with my Domestic Violence Protection Order, DV PO for short, for all of those who are not fluent in legalese. I had consulted three non profits and the outlook was grim. I was not a woman who would allow my situation to elevate to the point where I was hospitalized. Proving and working with my situation was compound fed by my having fled my home state. Nathan did not give me a prognosis of roses and honey, but made me aware of alternatives that others had otherwise overlooked. He was the individual perfect for the job. He would take the time to research what he didn't know and made all efforts to provide the best legal advice possible. I was also greTful for his accommodation of difficult family members and working with me through my choppy financial circumstances. If I had money for Christmas Cards I would of sent him one. Next year and the years after he is on my list. Thank you Nathan! I don't really think 'great' in every language will sufficiently describe his work and efforts, it just is not good enough.

I came to Nathan when other possibilities had been exhausted and I needed a lawyer. The nature of my case was extreme. The other side was willing to stop at nothing to see they got their way and was using the courts in an, at best, questionable manner. There was an enormous amount of work to be done. Nathan's knowledge and diligent planning and execution, throughout the year or so my case went on, secured full custody of my child with protections in place. This gave us a buffer from the other party's harassing behavior. We are forever grateful to Nathan and his team!

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 grander 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.

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 imagine 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.

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 with 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.

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 added 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!

Nathan was courteous, a great listener, and very efficient. I appreciated how straightforward and frank he was, and he understood complexities of my case, and provided some options and information I wouldn't otherwise have known. He was prompt & responsive. I felt like I could trust his transparency, and he made a pathetic situation more doable.

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 to 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.

Came into the office for consultation, not knowing my next steps. I had filed a variety divorce documentation to the court, but as an amateur I really did not have any idea what I was doing. Nathan quickly assessed my confusion and provided effective guidance and was able give me an estimation and time line for resolution. Upon hiring, he quickly communicated the next steps and provided effective dialogue through conclusion to all parties involved in the process.

Recently, I struggled through the most traumatic ordeal of my life--my former husband developed a severe and sudden mental illness. After unsuccessfully trying to get him help, I finally turned to legal representation, because on my own, I didn't know where to begin. I asked a group of friends (via a private facebook group we all share to talk about lady stuff) who they might recommend to help offer guidance. *Eight* people suggested Nathan. From the very beginning, he listened with non-judgement and empathy; he immediately began to advocate for my family's wellbeing--helping me to choose a path that would help maintain my son's and my safety. He also went out of his way to help mitigate my legal expenses, which almost seems counterintuitive, but is also very much in line with his character. For instance, when I needed to obtain a protection order, Nathan explained how I could file with the court for free using non-profit-funded DV advocates. He explained that he'd be happy to help, but that the advocates were very helpful and offered the service for free. I have so much respect for his willingness to sacrifice his own earning potential in order to suggest what was best for *me.* Plenty of people wouldn't have cared that I was a single mom trying to get my career started, but with Nathan, I clearly wasn't just another client.
