Husain A Gatlin

I paid Husain Gatlin $2,500 to represent me in a simple civil dispute. From the beginning, he was difficult to get a hold of, and even though I only reached out with legitimate questions, Gatlin only communicated through a document uploading website, through which it took several days to get a respon...se. Communication got so bad with Gatlin that another lawyer of mine attempted to contact him regarding vital matters- he and I still got no response for weeks. Gatlin made it clear to me -by actually telling me- that he was tired of this case and had no interest in continuing it. It was such a relatively minor case (albeit very important to me) that he simply lost interest when it started taking just a little longer than expected to reach a resolution. WORSE OF ALL, I didn’t find out until trial commenced (with a new lawyer) that a major point of contention between the other party and me was caused by Gatlin’s carelessness. Part of my countersuit against the other party was for trespassing. It didn’t come out until the trial, when opposing counsel brought it to my attention while I was on the witness stand, that unbeknownst to me, Gatlin had given the go-ahead to the other party to enter my property WITHOUT CONSULTING ME, OR EVEN TELLING ME AFTER HE DID IT. Police were called, charges were filed, trial took place, all because Gatlin, knowing I would never allow the trespass FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN, took it upon himself to let the other party enter my property without even telling me he’d done it. As a trial date approached, when he should have been the most interactive, Gatlin completely fell off the face of the planet. Neither I nor my other attorney could reach him at all. Weeks later, I fired him and hired another attorney. Since Gatlin did nothing the entire ten months he “represented” me (other than wear his pretty little bow ties), I filed for fee arbitration to recoup at least a portion of the $2,500 I paid. During the fee arbitration hearing, he blatantly lied several times, and when I proved he was lying, he resorted to insults. If your case isn’t as sexy and exciting as a murder, this is the kind of service you can expect from Husain Gatlin.

I want to say that the positive reviews are well deserved. Mr. Gatlin and his office staff were a pleasure to work with. They were very detailed and professional in every aspect of my case. They made sure all of my questions were answered and that I was informed and comfortable throughout the enti...re process. I was extremely pleased with the outcome which actually exceeded my expectations. I can't thank them enough for their assistance and I would definitely recommend them to anyone seeking excellent legal representation.

I actually hired Mr. Gatlin for my son who was being falsely charged for multiple violations in a domestic violence case. He was very professional, kept me abreast of every detail of the case and in my professional opinion (having fired the previous lawyer working on the case), Mr. Gatlin went above ...and beyond. He made me feel like my son's case was personal for him! I wouldn't think twice about hiring him again and I certainly recommend him every chance I get! He's an amazing lawyer, I couldn't have been happier with his services! I must also mention that he always came to court very well dressed!
