I am a former prosecutor and my time spent in that position taught me many things. Most notably I discovered that prosecutors are NOT the attorneys for "The People"; defense attorneys are. My areas of practice include restraining orders, criminal defense, traffic tickets and DUI arrests in Oregon & California.
I make it a priority to be reasonably available to my clients and I do my best to help them understand what is happening through every step of their case. I have worked on both sides of the system in California and have extensive experience handling criminal defense, DUI, and traffic violations in Oregon & California.

You be the judge. Paid for services in full, upfront. 3 years later find that license still suspended. As per court order license for dmv was to be reinstated after 3 years.. 4 years later find license still suspended. Phoned Nathan and discussed requesting he fix this with dmv. His response..I"'ll need to charge you additional fees to correct or here is where you can go to "fix it yourself"..you be the judge

Nathan was the absolute best. He dropped my assault and a hit and run charges down to a simple violation and a 500$ fine! Nathan had my cased solved within the first two court dates, didn't even have to show up for my arraignment. I highly recommend anyone in Medford area to hire Nathan as a criminal defense lawyer.

My experience with Nathan D Wente has been excellent. he set expectations from the get go and all email responses were timely. My alleged moving infraction was successfully dismissed. being a commercial driver and having a moving violation on your record is a no go! I'll highly recommend his services for any alleged traffic violations.
Thank you Nathan!
Thank you Nathan!

I got hit with a double-whammy of traffic tickets, driving south on Highway 97 in Oregon. I live in California, which makes it that much trickier to deal with.
Another attorney, in Portland, gave me Nathan's contact info. I paid $45 for a quick phone consultation and it was well worth it. Nathan did a great job of walking me through my options, and providing his opinion. You know you've got a straight-shooter when his primary recommendation doesn't involve hiring him.
Thanks Nathan!

Working with Nathan D Wente on my criminal driving case has been more than smooth. Not only did he promptly answer my calls even when on a family camping trip he professionally iterates his ideas and reviews yours carefully to leave you with the least reprucussions possible as well as feeling respected and on the same level. He was quick, helpful and priced very reasonable for his dependability. In the end with ease and calm attitude turnes my possible and original 2-3 charges including reckless driving into a mear traffic citation. Highly recommend Nathan D Wente Attorney at Law

Nathan is a great lawyer. Reliable, honest, straight forward and easy to communicate with. Very responsive to phone calls and text. Did a great job for me in court, he got 3 felonies dismissed. He was very pro active and worked for the best possible outcome with my case. I am grateful that I found him. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer.

First off, we got a better than expected outcome for my wife on a double traffic violation. Nathan is very easy to speak to and down to earth. I always felt a real sincerity with his counsel. My previous experience with attorneys is equal to that of doctors; preaching from their soapbox to the mere pheasants. I've never left a review online or elsewhere ever - I'm 44 years young. Minus the outcome I would still be very appreciative and highly recommend Nathan Wente. By the way my father was an attorney- I've been around them my whole life and I speak from experience. Cheers!!

Nathan is an amazing lawyer. He was always available when I needed him. He is a wise, kind and compassionate man, that answered my all my questions making sure I understood what he said completely. I feel like he went above and beyond to make sure that my case was handled the best way possible. I highly recommend him if you want someone who is honest, respectful and will get the job done right.

Nathan Wente represented me after I was pulled over by an Oregon State Trooper at Grant’s Pass on Highway 5 on the way up to drop my daughter off to start her first year at University of Oregon. The State Trooper cited me for three separate moving violations. Believing that I was absolutely undeserving of two of the violations, and very upset by the way that my daughter and I were treated, I decided to seek legal help. Since I am a California resident, I had to do a search through the Internet. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack to find an attorney who I hoped to understand how to

Hired Nathan for a speeding ticket I received while driving through the state of Oregon. I can't say enough about how diligent he was about getting my ticket dismissed. He listened to me, kept me posted on the court proceedings and ultimately got my case dismissed. If you have a ticket you are considering fighting there isn't any better attorney out there than Nathan.

My experience with this attorney was one of my greatest. Nathan was very respectful, knowledgeable, and professional. I had a speeding ticket and sought legal council, found Nathan on the internet and he took care of my case for me. It was completely dismissed and my driving record wasn't impacted. He took care of everything for me and I had no problems with him. Would recommend 10/10.
