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.
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.
I call back an hour later and am 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.
I believe his honest, fair, and respectful approach to this case and others was incredibly satisfying. I was given time and answers.
Thank you Holtey Law
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.
Nathan knows and loves what he does. If you need an attorney, Nathan is the one! Trust me, he will fight for you.
I highly recommend Nate for your family law matters.

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.
Sarah is an amazing attorney, she is honest, assertive, direct and supportive. She is mindful of her time and was always honest in billing me for work she performed. I could not have chosen a better person to represent me. I would recommend Sarah to anyone.
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 !!!!!
I found Nathan Hotley through a Google search and a bit of research and am glad I did. He quickly grasped what was needed and pushed through a default judgement based on our previously filed agreement. The cost was well inline with his estimate and I'm now free to marry the woman of my dreams.
Thanks Nate!
