Cons
1
Allegations of unethical behavior and corruption in certain cases
“A total thief and liar who will do whatever he can do along with of his probate cronies to take advantage of the elderly, which has been proven by the CEAR advocates (please research)!! The Contra Costa County probate department is corrupt from the ground up and that is a fact!!! Don't hire him or you will be taken advantage of!!”

Instances of poor communication and lack of responsiveness
“I do not recommend Nathan Pastor. He did not show up in court & had an associate appear who could not answer one question in my behalf.”
