Like some of us do, I found myself having a wonderful child with a not so wonderful partner. Soon enough the relationship went from terrible to worse, and I needed to get a custody order in place. Because of the complicated nature of child custody, I was referred to Nathan. As it turns out, Nathan is the kind of attorney you can only hope is on your side of a child custody case. He walked me through every step of the process. Within days of our first phone call, I was reviewing a Request for Order. He walked me through the Declaration of Income and Expense Reports, the Plaintiff's responses. He explained in detail what each and every word meant. During the deposition, Nathan was more prepared then I could ever have imagined. He was direct and pointed, and extracted information that would be very helpful during court. Within months of serving an RFO, I quickly learned that I had been served with a restraining order. Scared out of my mind and spinning in circles, Nathan helped me navigate through it. Not only was he my lawyer, but he came a confidant. He helped me with the visit from the sheriff's department and the painful supervised visitations. The week prior to my first court date, I spoke to Nathan everyday about what the court proceeding would be like. He was very honest with me and told me that there is nothing you can do to prepare for testifying in a child custody case. He was right. There is nothing like it that I have ever experienced, but because of the relationship we had developed over the course a few months, it more was like talking to a friend across the table instead of sitting in a courtroom. On Nathan's cross examination, he was able to discredit the Respondent and get the restraining order removed. If you ever find yourself in my situation, I would highly advise that you hire Nathan. He is a great lawyer, he cares, and he will argue your case until he is blue in the face. I would give him ten stars if I could.

Mr. Gabbard is an highly strategic and thoughtful attorney who helped me with a difficult divorce case. He has a passion for the law and is genuinely concerned with justice which comes across while you work with him. I actually had another attorney before him but had to terminate him and found Mr. Gabbard through a referral. He came through and turned my case around and we eventually settled. I would highly recommend hiring him.

So as you read all the reviews about this guy, ask yourself if you want a nice, polite attorney? Or do you want a shark who fights for your rights? If your opposition is a great person you have a lovely relationship with, and their lawyer is a wonderful person too, give Mr. Gabbard a try. Or just DIY it if it's that simple. Bit I would guess that most people looking for this type of attorney really need help. If that's you, and especially if losing your case will seriously wreck your life and your loved ones' lives, then RUN from Mr. Gabbard. He literally snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in my case. I've spent the last several months and a lot of $ trying to recover, and it looks like I probably never will. This guy ruined my life--not just figuratively, but literally.

Nathan & Ilene were amazing. Their work on my case was exceptional. My Daughters mother tried to use legal loop holes and subversion to block me from having access to my child. Thanks to Nathan's hard work and legal prowess. He was able to get my case back to correct venue. He was there to answer any questions and was very reassuring at a very difficult time for my family and I. I will forever be grateful to Nathan & Ilene for all their help.

My name is Gregg, Nathan Gabbard is Brilliant. I am still speechless for what he has done for me. I have been in and out of court with my ex for 19 years, The back and forth battle between child support and spousal support was incredibly difficult . Retaining Mr. Gabbard was the best investment I have ever made. He and his team are very talented and professional . I was looking towards a future of paying alimony for the rest of my life after a 12 year marriage, which is considered long term. I was paying 2,200 A month, Guess what? Nathan got me off, proving the case in court while being professional and polite, waiting for the right time to present testimony. I am truly indebted to Nathan Gabbard and his awesome team for helping me. Thank you Nathan.

Nathan Gabbard worked on a very challenging and difficult parentage/child custody case for me. When I got served with papers by the opposing party, my life forever changed. I KNEW I was going to need a very solid, strong, professional attorney if I had any chance of winning my case due to how the law is in CA. After meeting, consulting and hiring Nathan, I immediately felt confident that I was in great hands. Nathan is extremely knowledgeable in his field. He is hardworking, diligent, finishes necessary work in a timely manner, comes up with a clear and precise argument and strategy, is confident and bold in court, and very caring as well. He always took the time to make sure I understood what was going on in my case. He took the time to explain things legally to me and really was supportive during what was the worst time in my life. I can't say enough positive things about Nathan and his talents and abilities. He is a fantastic lawyer, and very results driven and oriented! I was very pleased with every aspect of his work. Thank you Nathan for all you did for me and my daughter during such a rough period in our lives. You are definitely in great hands if Nathan is your attorney!

I had recently moved to California from Oregon and wanted to dissolve a domestic partnership that i had entered into while living in Oregon. I did some research and quickly realized that I had to file for an actual divorce in California and could not do this on my own. I was introduced to Nathan who specializes in Dissolution of Domestic Partnerships. Right from the start he was friendly and attentive. Being that I had never filed for divorce before I was very anxious about the whole process. Nathan immediately agreed to meet with me to start the process. When we met he walked me through the entire process ahead and even gave me online resources to access forms and other helpful items. Within a few days my divorce proceedings started. I did't have to worry about much as Nathan took care of hiring a processor, emailed me all required forms pre populated for signing , and even directed me to online resources for asset evaluations. Throughout the entire process Nathan was always reachable and quick to respond when I missed him. We are entering into the last round of filings and I am so relived to almost be single again. To anyone who is looking for a attentive and highly skilled divorce attorney Nathan is your man.

I’m so pleased with Atty Nathan’s handling of my divorce and financial settlement case. Atty Nathan gave me great counsel, dug really deep in researching similar cases, discussed the possible outcomes and also kept me in the loop. I felt very comfortable with him. I highly recommend Atty Nathan.

Nathan made the process of getting a restraining order against an individual as stress-free as possible. I provided him with the personal information, supporting documentation, and the narrative... and he quickly got the court appearances, court documentation, temporary order, and final order together. The whole process was complete in a matter of weeks and at a fair price. Nathan kept me up to date on the progress of court appearances, delivery of the legal documentation, and other key pieces of information along the way via email, text, and phone calls. I highly recommend Nathan's services
