SAD

I would give him 0 stars if possible,he is a cop out lawyer who doesn’t care that he is working with a persons life!He will always try to get u a conviction in order to get home no matter how weak the case is.Hes going to ask for $10000 then act as if u work for him and its sad because he is BLACK an...d doesn’t realize how important black lawyers are to the community (Essex County).I guarantee anyone who has him on retainer will tell u the same thing.He has a lot of people behind bars really pissed off with him.No one cares about you being the bow tie bandit n balenciaga sir.U come from a hard working family that knows about trials and tribulations and your father worked hard as a janitor for the Newark school system to get u to b able to get this far and your doin ur community a disservice.I urge anyone that actually cares about their future when it comes to legal problems to stay away from this dude.Im not trying to hurt his business but I have to b honest and bring awareness to his actions for the people that are incarcerated who can’t speak and currently depending on him as we speak.I truly hope Mr.Hussain Gatlin makes some changes or leave this field because this is about people’s lives.

Posted by N. R. Sirmans | June 13, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Poised, Professional, Analytical

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!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
