Pros
1
Excellent communication and responsiveness from the lawyers
“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.”
2
Compassionate and empathetic approach
“Nathan is a compassionate and informed divorce lawyer. While my divorce was fairly simple and straight forward, it was still a very emotional process for me. Nathan was empathetic, helpful and very on top of the whole process.”
3
Thorough knowledge of family law and ability to navigate complex cases
“Nathan exceeded my expectations. He was kind and thorough in his approach. I felt like I was really listened to and that he cared about my individual situation. Nathan presented me with multiple options of what I could do along the way, and gave me the space to make the decision that was right for me with each step.”
4
Focused on achieving the best outcome for the client
“He was considerate of my time (money), keeping me on track and focused when he could have chosen to sit back and let me ramble while he collected $100s. He approached sensitive topics with empathy and understanding.”
5
Excellent advocacy skills and ability to handle difficult opposing parties
“Nathan slays when in front of a judge, commands respect, isn't easily intimidated and always left me feeling embarrassed for opposing counsel.”
Cons
1
Slow response times and communication issues
“They are slow to respond... still looking for help...”
2
Tendency to drag out cases for financial benefit
“While I'm not sure they always fill out their standard forms correctly, they are quite adept at politely drawing out cases to their benefit. If you like making and spending money, SDS will obligingly take a side and extract money at a standard rate of $350/hr. without apology.”
