Natalie Thompson has distinguished herself in the family law arena not only for her superior negotiation and trial skills, but also as a published family law author.
After practicing family law for 20 years, people who ask Natalie Thompson why she does what she does always get the same answer. “There aren’t many jobs that would allow me to help people at their most vulnerable and to genuinely make a difference in their lives. I appreciate the trust that people put in me, and I enjoy delivering on that trust.”
Over the course of her practice, Natalie has assisted people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives (divorce, custody disputes, and support enforcement) and some of the most joyous moments of their lives (prenuptial agreements and adoptions). No matter the circumstance, Natalie’s focus remains consistent – obtaining the best possible outcome for her clients, while keeping an eye on getting practical results that allow people to move forward with their lives.
Natalie Thompson’s Tailored Litigation Style puts the Client first
Natalie has represented clients throughout the State of New Jersey and, in doing so, has developed an excellent reputation with the judges and attorneys she interacts with on a daily basis. She tailors her approach to each matter to meet the goals of her client. Oftentimes, that means helping people reach a resolution as efficiently as possible through skilled negotiation or mediation. At other times, it means vigorously representing clients at trial or even on appeal. Regardless of the stage of litigation, Natalie is committed to providing the best possible guidance, advocacy, and results for her clients.
When she is not practicing law, Natalie can be found at the softball or baseball field with her two children or watching her favorite baseball team, the New York Yankees, with her husband. She is also passionate about giving back to her community and volunteers her time at Project Self Sufficiency and teaching religious education at her Church.
