It has taken me nearly three years to write this review because I couldn't find the adequate words to describe Nathalie. After interviewing several attorneys, I came to Natalie on a friend's recommendation whose attorney father retained Natalie for his daughter. From the first conversation, I knew that I was in the best hands. My situation involved a difficult husband who was out for blood, a difficult separate property case, involved domestic violence, a lot of vitriol and was extraordinarily contentious. Brick by brick, Nathalie applied her brilliant knowledge of the law to build a case against any obstacle that came before her. With regard to the opposing side , she painstakingly paid attention to every single detail and ultimately trapped them using their own arguments against them, for the win. She out smart and out wit them at every turn! Natalie is fastidious with interpreting and applying case law rather than relying on mudslinging and gaslighting. There were times when I wanted her to get down in the mud with the opposing attorney and react aggressively. Nathalie clearly informed me that we are not pigs, we use case law and evidence to prove our stance, and she was right. I was a very, very difficult, needy and scared client. Nathalie not only saved me from myself by dissuading me not to react to their egregious tactics, and instead exercised her power, knowledge and experience in a dignified manner which knocked the opposing side to their knees. Nothing gets past Nathalie. During mediation, Nathalie absolutely fought for me using legal arguments which left the mediator absolutely speechless. There was nothing left to say, I won everything I deserved! To this day, my former husband is petrified of Nathalie, I need only to inform him that I will have Nathalie deal with the matter at hand and he backs down immediately! All I can say is, God help anyone who comes up against Nathalie's incredible talent, they won't know what hit them; their egos will burst like a fragile soap bubble. I am so grateful she didn't fire me, admittedly, I was like having five additional clients in one! She cares! She knew she had to protect me and she did. Her clients are people and she is empathetic to them. If you want the best, retain Nathalie, she won't let you down, she will fight tirelessly for you, not using spurious arguments, but solid legal arguments.

Nathalie represented me as my second and final attorney for my divorce. Overall, I was happy with her services. I enjoyed her dedication and fast turnaround. Due to the new tax law, there was a big incentive to finish the divorce in 2018 and she gets all my credit for getting it done. Others involved in the process were clueless. Why not five stars then?
There's been instances where I felt the OPC had a bit the upper hand due to having more experience or knowing the law/process better. A few times she had to "research" how this and that works, as billable to me. I would have thought that knowing these things already is what family lawyers are for.
In one case she jumped in the research of detailed implications of a contract, only to later find out that the contract itself might not be valid. I felt it would have been more appropriate to first research and inform me about the validity. At least once she billed me minimum billable for forwarding an email, and later another minimum billable for reading the content of that same email. I felt billing 24 minutes for this task was not reasonable.
Back to the big picture, I was satisfied with Nathalie’s services, she was the best of the four family lawyers I dealt with during my divorce and hence would recommend Nathalie to a friend - in fact I did.
P.S. my two cents if you are going through divorce with attorneys involved: hire a mediator and get it done in one day. You will hate the outcome. But you will hate the same outcome out the court even more, as you’ll end up poorer. Don’t look for justice in courts.

Ms. Hall was phenomenal in both my civil matter and my issues in family court. Aside from receiving favorable rulings in both cases, she was professional, prepared, attentive and aggressive. I could not have asked for a better attorney or outcome and would recommend her without hesitation.

Nathalie helped me with multiple legal cases. The first involved a legal issue with my employer. I had independently created proprietary software that was trying to be usurped by the employer. There were many complex medical legal issues to navigate with my employer and she was amazing in helping me get to my desired outcome. She next helped me reclaim thousands of dollars in a lost claim against an insurance company. I had my personal items stolen and she represented me in a strong fashion to battle the corrupt insurance company. Bottom line - her expertise and professionalism are unparalleled.

Nathalie is very polite, thoughtful, easy to talk with and asks the right questions. She makes sure that her client has the tools and legal information they need to succeed. She put our bylaws together and we plan on having her update all of our legal documents.

I highly recommend Ms. Nathalie Hall, who served as my litigator in my family court case. She was well-prepared with her argument and approached my case with diligence and passion. She is able to easily foresee counter-arguments and considers relevant details. She is also very approachable to her clients, which made me feel like I had a great team on my side. Highly recommend.
