Eric James Tatum

Mr. Tatum was referred to me by a friend of a friend he went to law school with and I didn't know what to expect as frankly I had never dealt with an attorney before. Eric was very professional, down to earth and easy to relate to and I can't underscore that last part enough. While I was going throug...h my divorce, Eric was getting engaged, so we couldn't be further apart on the spectrum, however he made every effort to walk in my shoes and guide me with what was best for me and my son. In negotiations Eric was fair but demanding and stood his ground when it was required and advised me in tactics that suited our overall goal. As I said, I had never dealt with an attorney for my personal life and now thanks to Eric, I have had a very positive experience. Throughout the course of my case, we even became friends. Perhaps his most admirable trait is to simply tell it like it is and shoot straight. When you're dealing with legal matters, facts and facts and he makes sure you seem things for what they are, regardless of history and emotions. What more can you ask for from an attorney? I highly recommend Eric Tatum and have already recommended him to friends and now have the pleasure of doing so formally.

Summary: I cannot recommend the services of Eric Tatum highly enough. He is an excellent attorney, with a sharp mind and an extensive knowledge of Georgia divorce law. He makes for an excellent advocate and will ensure you get the best outcome for you. Details: I retained Eric to represent me in m...y recent divorce proceedings. Throughout the entire process, he ensured I had a full understanding about every detail of the negotiation we were undertaking and was a vigorous champion ensuring a fair outcome of the property split and dissolution of the marriage. I also really appreciated his honest opinion and advice when it came to potentially wasting time and legal fees arguing for a larger split of the marital property. He made it very clear he was willing to fight for me if I chose to move forward, but that it likely wouldn't be in my best interest (or good for my wallet) to do so. In the end, I got a fair settlement and, as much as they can be, amicable divorce. Eric's expertise was integral to that outcome and as I need legal advice and representation in the future, I will definitely retain Eric Tatum.

I used Eric to fight a speeding ticket I felt was unjust. I had a brief phone call, submitted my information and payment. 2 months later I had ticket dropped so it did not reflect on insurance and paid a lower fine than the original ticket. Eric took care of everything including my court appearance. ...I would definitely use him agin.

I hired this lawyer to represent me (the plaintiff) at a hearing and paid his full fee upfront. Turns out he never interviewed my witness and at court he didn't present the evidence or put the defendant on the stand. The defendant represented himself and ended up winning the case! I don't know if Eri...c intentionally threw the case or fell into a coma, but he wasn't worth the money. Do not hire this man!
