Professional Experience
Natalie Thorp's commitment to family law grew out of her own tough divorce, where poor legal support showed her just how vital it is to have someone truly in your corner—knowledgeable, caring, and tough. That experience motivates her every day to stand by clients during what can feel like the hardest time in their lives, offering guidance with real heart and grit. She's been fighting for people in family law since 2018, stepping up as a licensed attorney in 2020. With roots in psychology and business law, she brings a sharp, tailored approach to each case, focusing on open dialogue, solid groundwork, and bold courtroom strategies that deliver strong results. Natalie shines in complex high-asset divorces and intense disputes, tackling them head-on as a fierce advocate who consistently secures positive resolutions. She gets how overwhelming these situations can be—it's often someone's first and only run-in with the courts—and she's dedicated to providing more than just advice: real empathy, strength, and a sense of possibility when things seem bleak. Her successes span winning trials, winning appeals and creating case law, guiding teams, and preparing airtight documents. In addition to her law practice, she's co-owned a skydiving center since 2014, managing finances across several businesses, handling big acquisitions, and nurturing solid client ties.
