Our company hired Nathan Cole, of Cole Law Partners after contractors failed to pay us for over a year for plumbing services on several projects. Unable to collect payment on our own, we had to sought professional legal. Nathan was highly recommended through another attorney who did not do construction law. We had three cases involving different general contractors, and thanks to their diligence and skill, we settled two of them in less than two months. Their expertise made a significant difference, and we would gladly recommend their services.
Incredible team. Quick response time. Always looking out for the best solutions to our problems while also thinking of our finances. Thank you guys!

I appreciate everything they’ve done for me and my business and my family.
