Holtey Law - Divorce, Family, Custody

I had called to schedule an appointment and would not have cared if I needed to wait a few days, but was told I could call back in an hour and speak to a lawyer (James King) directly. Pretty weird that she seemed to insist that it would be best if I called back (instead of them calling me when convenient), but sure, I can call back.I call back an hour later andam told he's with another client. Ok, I guess some client visits can go a little long, no problem. The receptionist told me she would have him call me when he's done, after I suggested we do it that way for the 2nd time. Great. A half an hour went by, I call back just to check in if he's still busy or if maybe they copied my # down wrong.I spoke with someone different this time, but there seemed to be no record of my appointment and James was already gone for the day. I'm not quite sure how scheduling consultations work in the legal field, but where I'm from, if someone says they will do something, you follow through. Avoid.

After calling multiple firms to schedule an appointment and not getting any kind of response I was able to get through to the receptionist at Holtey law who was extremely helpful and caring! I was immediately able to talk to Michael and get an appointment scheduled. He is very easy to work with and is straight to the point. I feel confident Michael and the other staff at Holtey Law will be able to help me with no problems.

After my ex-wife married a millionaire, I hired Nathan to help me end the alimony I’d been paying since the divorce. In my original divorce case, I’d had a lawyer who had purported to work for men, but he’d only been there for the paycheck and had gotten me a bad deal, one that required me to increase alimony payments as the years went on.When it came time to file for termination of alimony, I hired a lawyer to handle the case, but after three months of next to no progress, terrible communication, and misrepresenting the status of the case, I fired him.I researched several law firms and contacted a few. From the moment I spoke to Nathan, I knew he was the right guy for the job. I wanted someone who was an excellent communicator (incredibly important since his predecessor was almost impossible to get ahold of), understood the nuances of alimony termination, and was willing to fight for me.Nathan hit the nail on the head in every regard. He always responded to my calls and emails, and often times, he reached out to update me on the status of the case on his own. During the deposition, he caught my ex in several lies and used that to played hardball with her attorney. He got us a fair deal, and now I no longer pay alimony to the wife of a millionaire.Lastly, he understands that legal representation is expensive. Instead of shrugging at the cost and holding his hand out for more money, he let me do some of the heavy lifting. He encouraged me to participate in every aspect of the case and allowed me to save thousands by doing certain things myself.While no one wants to hire a lawyer and pay the fees associated with it, Nathan is worth the investment. In the long run, hiring him will save you money and headaches.I HIGHLY recommend Nathan at Holtey Law.

Sarah Brown has been my divorce lawyer and she did an excellent job in representing me and has a very caring personality. I trusted her completely and I have the utmost confidence in her abilities to ensure a fair and equitable outcome. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a excellent divorce lawyer. Thanks ever so much, Sarah!

Sarah Brown was my divorce attorney. She is an incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and smart lawyer. She answered all questions promptly and was always there for me. She was great when it came to explaining my options and giving me the right advice at the right time. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a divorce or family lawyer. Thank you Sarah!

I was trying to deal with my ex-wife's extremely aggressive attorneys on my own and turned to Nathan for help. He turned things around for me and I ended up getting everything I wanted. He stood up to them and at the same helped me from making rash decisions that would have undermined my case. He is a great lawyer and a great counselor. I recommend him 100%. He really knows the law.

Do not hire this outfit !! Unless you want Nathan to take your money and hand your case over to the other side. What a grand experience of incompetence and just plain lazy. As long as he gets paid he doesn't care. He does not advocate for his client, he's a poor excuse for a lawyer. Other attorneys have had to clean up his sloppy work. Take your hard earned money and pay a good lawyer who will fight for your best interest.

Very rude! Called in to ask and see about networking, once the Intake person found out it was regarding an appeal for one of my clients, she was blatantly rude, did not want to offer any further assistance. I am a non-profit business owner that assist my clients to the best of my capacity. If they are in need of assistance some may have the money and others may not. This client does have the money and thank goodness I found another attorney office to network with me. Little does she know she doesn't know who I am. Be careful when you are rude to someone in general but most definitely when you are part of a business and or corporation.

It is never fun hiring a lawyer but I was totally blindsided by a stupid accusation from a ex-partner of mine. James handled my case with extreme professionalism and covered every angle. The other side was not professional and very difficult but James had us prepared to go to court. James went above and beyond to resolve this case before it went to a hearing. Luckily the opposition did not show up but have they showed up to court we would have been ready to fight. James kept me apprised of where we were step by step in the case.Aside from being a great attorney, James also acted as my friend. because this was my first time ever dealing with the court system which can be scary and overwhelming but James kept me very positive throughout the whole process which ended up in my favor.James also looks for ways to save his clients money he could have nickel and dimed me for some stuff ( but didn't) James works hard and advises you how to save money so you don't eat up your retainer needlessly.I highly recommend hiring James (even though I hope I never have to hire him again) for any of your family law needs. I am very grateful for him and how he was there for me in a very confusing and scary part of my life. I will definitely remember him for any future legal needs involving Family Court in Oregon.

I finished my business with Holtey Law over 3 months ago so I knew something was up with the DocuSign email I received today. It is a well known fishing scam when their email server is hacked. I called after 3 hours and asked why they did not send a follow up email to those affected letting them know not to log into anything or click the links. The receptionist said an IT person was in earlier but didn’t think they needed to do that! Seems obvious they should!

Choosing Nathan as my Divorce Attorney was the best decision that I've ever made. He not only was very professional throughout the entire process, but he was both very thorough as well as concerned about being extremely efficient. He was able to estimate very accurately the eventual Alimony payments very early on in the process, which made me feel much more secure throughout the process. Nathan negotiated a very favorable, and yet fair settlement. I would recommend him highly to anyone, and I will certainly continue to contact him whenever I might need legal representation in the future.

Nathan Holtey and Allison Kamilos were accommodating, fair and efficient in my case. I always felt heard and had my questions answered fully. I appreciate their work.

First, Nate is a competitor of mine so I may lose business by giving him a good review. Second, Nate is a decent human being. Third, and to the point, Nate is an excellent family law lawyer. You will not go wrong with entrusting your legal matter to him. He knows what is important to you and to the court, and he is able to meld the two seamlessly and professionally. I just completed a case with him and he did an exemplary job under difficult circumstances and obtained an excellent result for his client

My ex-wife and her attorneys have been bullying me for nine years. Last year when she filed a lawsuit that would have ruined me financially I finally decided to find an attorney. I called around and talked to several law firms that required massive retainers. Then I called Nathan's firm. As I was describing my situation to the receptionist Nathan picked up the phone and spoke with me for several minutes. He immediately put my mind at ease and I knew right away that He was the right choice. My intuition was right. Nathan came through as promised and then some. He was first attorney who really fought for me and the only one I have ever liked. It is so nice to know that my ex can no longer threaten me and my family. If she tries to do me and my family harm again I will not hesitate to call Nathan

My ex abused me for years and finally he filed for divorce without notice me. I didn’t know how to response to it. So I talked with Nathan. He asked me one question: “do you want divorce?” I said “yes, but I don’t know what to do.” Then he explained to me what to expect. I don’t speak English very well; Nathan tried to use the language that is easier for me to understand. In the next months, Nathan encouraged me to be brave when I was scared that I might get hurt; he encouraged me to stay the course when I was tired to deal with the other party. And most importantly, I am very satisfied with the outcome.

If you are looking for an attorney who will fight for you and go the extra mile, then Nathan Holtey is the attorney for you. Nathan really cares and loves what he does. He is extremely talented and makes you feel like you are his only client. He is always thinking of the best strategy for your case. His staff is very professional and everything is done in a timely manner and very efficiently. I am very happy with my outcome thanks to Nathan.

Nathan is an amazing attorney! Nathan sat down and explained everything to me in our consultation so that I would know what options I had and what to expect with each step in the process. He even listened to me cry a few times when I was overwhelmed and and he helped me see the bigger picture. He is obviously very highly respected by both the courts and other attorneys, which is comforting going into a hearing. He's not only a great attorney, but he's a great person, too and it felt good to have someone like him on my side! If you need a family law attorney, I highly recommend Nathan Holtey!

Nathan did not follow legal protocol, address high conflict parenting time issues, he demonstrated very poor litigation abilities, very poor advocacy for my children at trial that went for 2 days, he did not submit necessary evidence for asset settlement and was very submissive to the other parties lawyer.

Making the phone call to Holtey Law and speaking to Nathan Holtey was absolutely the best decision I've made in a long time. I received the best representation anyone could ever expect or ask for. Child custody cases always come with emotional confusion, but Nathan always had a way to go above and beyond expectation. He always knew exactly what to do next, and he was ready for what would come next, all while calming me down and explaining to me why I didn't need to worry. This meant dealing with someone ( the other party) that likes to find back doors to go through, pull fast ones, and be manipulative. Nathan quickly saw right through it all. I absolutely will recommend Nathan to anyone I know that needs the kind of help he offers. He is the very best at what he does.

Nate is an outstanding lawyer with an extensive knowledge base in family law. I have practiced law for over 16 years and find him to be one of the best lawyers that I have worked with. The clients that I have referred to him report positive experiences.

Who would know if they are any good. They never answer the phone. I have attempted to reach them for over a week. Need to do better!

I have worked with both Nathan Holtey and Jennifer Peters in the past. They are both highly competent and compassionate divorce lawyers. I would recommend their services for anyone seeking excellent family law attorneys.

When my life took an unexpected turn, and I ended up fighting HARD for the custody of my daughter, Nathan Holtey was the best decision I could have made. When I was faced with the sea of unknown in the legal system for the first time, he took the time, care and compassion to guide me through, keep me calm, and in check (at times) and was my saving grace. He defended me with professionalism, knowledge and frankly balls when up against our tough opposing counsel. And he won my case. !!! Not only was Nathan available to me within reason, but his office staff and assistants are excellent. They take the time to talk with you when Nathan isn't available and do a superb job in getting you what you need. I couldn't be more grateful that he was on my side.

My situation felt fairly hopeless and the two law firms I called prior to calling Nate both said he would be my guy. When I finally gave Nate a call he sounded so confident and said it was a sure thing. I wasn't so confident until I met with him and his only question was "What do you want?" When all was said and done, he delivered with exactly what I wanted and it seemed easy for him.

I chose Nate Holtey as my divorce attorney on advice from a friend. It turned out to be a great decision. Nate helped me understand the legal process, provided positive reinforcement when it was needed, gave direct and honest answers to my questions, and always responded in a prompt manner.

I contacted this law office for a phone consultation, (after contacting another attorney who made me feel horrible for not already knowing about court/legal proceedings) and Suzana in a 15 minute phone call erased all fear, doubt, frustration and heavy-hearted concern. She was sensitive to my questions and concerns and calmed me down and spoke to me with respect. She very politely answered my questions and honestly made me feel at ease. I absolutely recommend this agency. Thank you!!!

I went thru a divorce of epic proportions. My ex initially took everything and got a false restraining order under false allegations of abuse perpetrated on her and the kids…My children and I were devastated. At first it seemed that the courts in southern Oregon would not give me even the befit of the doubt in the case. When trying to represent myself they would not let me see my children unless supervised. My motion to have my children speak on behalf was over looked in court and they took several months between hearings. Also child support was going to be astronomical Not even in the realm of reasonable …… like leave me 400.00 a month to live on type of deal. That was until NATHAN HOLTEY was representing me. Not only did I get a fair shake out of the deal. But she was exposed for the liar she is as far as the abuse allegations. Furthermore, he was able to speed up the case and he was able to help me get my kids. In Short NATHAN SAVED MY LIFE !!!!!

Flexible with appointments, persistent with complicated cases (as mine was), financially fair, and everyone in the office is personable and helpful.

I am so grateful to Sarah for getting me through a challenging legal situation around the support of my ex last year. I felt that my original divorce judgement did not reflect the burden of support that I had to carry based on a new set of life circumstances. I came to Sarah and she believed in my case and worked with me. She communicated with me, asked insightful questions and she got to the heart of the matter, both legally and from the perspective of the real life circumstances and relationship between me and my ex. She always stressed to remain on good terms with my ex through the legal process.She offered sound legal counsel and strategy. I had never been in a legal dispute before in my life and I learned so much from her over the course of the 6 months we worked together and preparing for trial. We really worked together as a team. The result of my case was a significant reduction in my support payment that I also felt was fair. She helped me get what I needed because she stood firm right when it counted, just before the trial began. She negotiated with the opposing attorney at the 11th hour and got me the best settlement that I could ask for. She basically carried the day for me. Because of this outcome, I now have much less financial stress and I feel empowered. Sarah has given me a new lease on life after my divorce.

Nathan Holtey is a highly qualified attorney that is respected among the legal community and a pleasure to work with.

If you can't give a $3500 retainer don't bother.
