ERIC TATUM=RESULTS

Eric has helped me get a very desirable visitation schedule with my children. He was also able to walk me through the whole process which helped ease my mind. Him and Beth respond to emails/texts very quickly and always had answers to any ?s I had. I would highly recommend this attorney to anyone wh...o has a legal matter involving any legal family matter.

Fantastic attorney

Eric and Beth are the best duo in the world. During my case they made sure that my daughters interest was upfront and centered. At no point in time was it ever about more money or time. Eric made sure everything was ready for my case and even found a way for me to get custody and put my daughters n...eeds first. Beth was always ready to hear me and give me great advice when I was frustrated.

Simply Awesome!

Having a professional like Mr. Tatum by my side made feel confident and surely helped lessen the anxiety I had encountered by receiving a surprise child support modification request from my Ex-husband who was wanting to have his CS responsibility lowered as he was claiming to not have enough income. ... In addition to Mr. Tatum's solid knowledge of family law, his integrity and high ethics sets him a part from the rest. He actually listens & takes mental notes of what one is attempting to accomplish and from there will provide counsel based on what is fair for all parties involved. Eric Tatum is Simply Awesome! I definitely recommend him without hesitation; my only regret is that I did not meet him when I was searching for a divorce attorney 3 years ago.
