We hired Nathan Soowal for our child?s wrongful school expulsion case. He was professional, understanding and knowledgeable. Our child?s expulsion was completely reversed and her record cleared.

After a failed attempt with a previous lawyer I searched and read a bunch of reviews on lawyers in the area where I found Nathan. After my consultation I felt confident in my case again. Nathan was knowledgeable and also transparent throughout the entire case. Whenever I had a question he responded quickly and continuously fought on my behalf. I am so pleased with the outcome of my case and cannot thank Nathan enough for his hard work and guidance every step of the way. I would recommend Nathan to any and everyone he is truly phenomenal!!!!

Nathan and his team were amazing to work with! They responded quickly to our concerns and took the time to get to know our case. He made us feel at ease and took a lot of weight off our shoulders. As a family, you're caught up in the emotions of the situation. It was such a relief to have him stand in front of the school board and clearly lay out our case in a way my wife and I would have would not have been able to. With his council, we were able to prepare for our hearing and focus on what we could control and contribute. Our original 15 minute alloted time for the the hearing was extended to over 45 minutes because Nathan was able to generate a healthy discussion among the board members. Instead of being herded in and out of the board review like cattle, as we saw with those before and after us. We felt like our situation was reviewed more thoroughly. We didn't feel like we cheated the system; that's not what we were going for. However, we got the results we were hoping for. We spent 2 weeks trying to find a lawyer in our area until we were directed to seek out someone who specialized in Education Law. While he was not from our local area, he was already familiar with our school board and other members of the disciplinary committee. Had we not retained Nathan, I can promise you, we would have not obtained that outcome on our own. I want to commend Nathan and his team for a job well done. Thank you!

Nathan Soowal has represented me in a variety of matters over the past year or so. He has been excellent to work with. I have been around the block and have retained several attorneys. And what I can say based on my experience is that it is difficult to find an attorney that is competent and ethical. Most attorneys you meet today do are very incompetent in whatever field of law they supposedly specialize in and do not understand what the word ethics means. Nathan Soowal has been a proper advocate for my legal matters

Working with Nathan was an amazing experience. After consulting with an array of lawyers I chose to be represented by Nathan because of his compassion, track record, and accessibility. He continued to embody this throughout my time with him and I couldn't be happier with his service.

Nathan Soowal delivered in every aspect that a lawyer should. He listened to my concerns and addressed them. Nathan tries to handle things as quickly as he can as most students are on a timeframe. I am glad to have had him represent me in my case against my school. I can finally move on with my life and further my education. What a success ! Again, thank you.

If you are reading these reviews either you are in desperate need of an attorney for your case or you have hired him and now, he has been delaying things for months and months and not replying to you. Plus, he does not forward you documents you are entitled to, and he will take your case and drag then disappear. I read similar bad reviews that others experienced working with him because I was in need of an attorney right away, I hired him I then learned all the bad reviews about him are 100% true. I learned for the future to call around a few attorneys take my time 2-3 weeks before hiring one. I can tell you from personal experience that hiring Nathan Soowal or any of his stuff will 100% backfire on you. If your case was solved by him then you probably didn?t need an attorney or it?s 1/10 cases.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Attorney Nathan Soowal during an incredibly challenging period of my life where I was facing the potential dismissal from my educational program. From the moment I met Mr. Soowal, I knew I was in capable hands. One of the standout qualities of Mr. Soowal is his exceptional ability to listen. He took the time to thoroughly understand every aspect of my case, paying attention to every detail, no matter how small. He consistently made me feel heard and validated, which was incredibly important during such a stressful time. Beyond his listening skills, Mr. Soowal is an incredible advocate for his clients. He fought tirelessly on my behalf, leveraging his extensive knowledge and expertise to build a compelling case. His strategic approach, combined with his passion for justice, was paramount to the successful outcome of my case. I truly believe that without Mr. Soowal's unwavering support and dedication, I would not have been able to navigate the complexities of my situation and achieve a positive resolution. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Nathan Soowal to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation, facing the potential of being dismissed from their educational program. His commitment to his clients and his ability to achieve results are truly unmatched.

We could not be happier with the experience we had with Bilello & Soowal. They guided us through the process of working with the school district every step of the way and represented us in person at our meeting. They were knowledgeable, compassionate and professional. We highly recommend your firm to others.

Words can't describe my disappointment in the level of service provided by Nathan Soowal while representing my children in our case against the school district. In the almost four months we have been trying to work with him absolutely nothing has been accomplished. He drug his feet filing our due process complaint (he waited about 6 weeks) allowing the district to build a case undermining our concerns. All the while he never truly discussed with us a concrete plan to effectively request the supports our children deserved to succeed in the school system. He sometimes took days to return calls if he did at all. The few times we did discuss my children's case he seemed very unfamiliar with their IEPS and appeared to be fumbling through them while discussing things rather than having prepared notes or a plan that he developed earlier. Everything seemed to be "on the fly". It felt to me that maybe he is taking on more work than he can effectively handle. At our resolution meeting he just sat back and let the school's attorney run the show allowing it to end with no agreement made. He never reached out with our next course of action leaving us more confused and upset. Long story short we are pulling our children out of the public school system and the only thing Nathan got us is a hefty credit card balance and now a monthly reminder of how he failed us every time I go to pay the bill.

Did not get my child information until the day before the hearing. But got paid on the first day. Showed up to the hearing really for nothing. You basically represent yourself. May have said 3 words in the hearing. Totally waste of money, thanks for nothing.

. I contacted Attorney Nathan Soowal to assist me with my Academic violations 2months ago. I searched on the web ,thankfully I discovered Attorney Nathan website online .From the first meeting, I felt him to be extremely confident, smart, and professional; he requested for more papers to support my case during the consult , which the student body certainly took into account. He took care of every detail throughout the hearing, and he won the case. To everyone reading this review, if you have any ongoing litigation, go straight to Nathan Soowal, who has over many years of expertise. Thank you, Mr. Soowal, for your time and patience; you are an exceptional attorney. Soowal is a razor-sharp attorney who is exceedingly competent and experienced. I honestly could not think of a better recommendation for him. He is one of those uncommon folks that is just amazing at what they do. If you are reading this and thinking about hiring or retaining an student rights attorney , do not hesitate to contact Mr. Nathan Soowal. I also suggested him to a friend, who repeated thanking me for introducing her to such a competent attorney. After many days of believing it was impossible, Soowal guided me through the process, and now I?m able to get my Master?s degree and apply to Medical school . It was a real joy to work with Soowal. He is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in his industry. Working with him was a breeze because of his optimism and organization. I would utilize his services again and would suggest him to anybody. You should employ Soowal if you have a challenging situation like mine. After seeing many lawyers, the majority of whom offered me little prospect of beating my academic violations , I came across Soowal. I have seen he is highly informed, skilled, and understands what he is doing from the beginning. I cannot express how tough these months have been, but Soowal guided me through the process and gave me faith that we would win my case, which we did. He also answered all of my calls and emails anytime I had a question, and I cannot say enough good things about him. I am glad I hired him; he is well worth the investment.

This lawyer is dishonest and not law knowledgeable. I would not recommend him to anybody. He took my money and started working on my case then left me in the middle of nowhere. He doesn't answer his phone, never calls back and doesn't respond to emails. He disappeared.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
