Nathan has handled hundreds of matters on appeal, in Michigan’s appellate courts as well as in the Sixth Circuit. He has successfully advocated for clients on appeal in a wide range of contexts, from discovery disputes, zoning, commercial, premises, § 1983, and negligence to complex issues of statutory interpretation.

Nathan attended the Honors College at Michigan State University and earned Bachelor of Arts Degrees with high honors in both History and French, graduating first in his class. He then lived abroad in France, near the Normandy beaches in Caen, where he taught English to French high school students. He came back to the states and went on to earn his law degree, cum laude, from Boston College Law School. Nathan was also appointed a Lecturer in Law, where he designed and co-taught a university course in Environmental Law and Policy for Boston College undergraduates.

After law school, Nathan started his legal career at the Michigan Court of Appeals, where he analyzed lower court and appellate records and research, and drafted research reports and proposed per curiam opinions in civil and criminal appeals. Before joining Zausmer, he worked at a boutique Detroit appellate law firm representing corporations, insurance companies, and public utilities, where he continued to hone his skills in written and oral advocacy.

Outside of the office, Nathan enjoys spending time with his wife and two children. He also enjoys running, gardening, cooking, home improvement projects, and playing the cello and guitar.
