Natalie at Alane Family Law was recommended to me by a couple different friends and acquaintances when, unfortunately, my marriage broke down beyond repair. I hired her and found her to be knowledgeable, efficient, thorough, and compassionate right from the beginning. My soon-to-be ex-husband and I were on good terms, and knew that we could decide most things ourselves without paying expensive lawyers to fight for us. In the end, he did not hire his own lawyer, but split the cost of hiring Natalie with me and used her services as well. Being that I had initially (and officially) hired her, Natalie continually looked out for my best interests and gave me sound advice on how to handle the many situations that inevitably arise in any divorce. However, she knew my situation well and was also considerate and fair where my ex was concerned. She helped us take divorce - a heartbreaking, messy affair - and make it as painless as possible. I feel that because of her expertise and guidance, I left the marriage with all of the things that I deserved and for which I had realistically hoped. She is tough and aggressive - yet kind and compassionate, very knowledge about all aspects of divorce including child custody and financial arrangements, very responsive to my questions and concerns, experienced and efficient, and can read a situation very well and offer sound advice on how to proceed. Her fees were not inexpensive, but if I find myself in need of an family attorney again in the future, I'd hire her again in an instant.
