Glad I called
Mr. Larry Tatum was referred by a friend, and I’m glad I called. I was seen quickly, and he was thorough and clear of what documents he needed and why and what he could do for my case. I was happy with the attention my case got. Thanks!

Juvenile
Mr. Tatum was awesome. He helped my son more than I can express. He was very professional and got all the information he could before seeing the judge. He is the first attorney to take the time to listen.

Out of State Traffic Ticket
I was cited for running a red light while passing through GA. Mr. Tatum was able to get the charge reduced to only a minor violation so that it wouldn't negatively impact my NC driver's license and insurance premium. Mr. Tatum was available via phone and email to answer all of my questions, and the matter was resolved long before my actual court day. I highly recommend Tatum Law Firm.

Great recommendation
I would refer Mr.Tatum to anyone in need of thorough professional hard working attorney. He went over and beyond to meet my needs and request. It’s nothing like having an attorney that will fight for you and also has a sense of humor at the same time. But he always remained professional and he’s a very good spirited person. Thank you again Mr.Tatum for all you’ve done. I look forward to recommending you to others in need of your services!!

Great Attorney
Larry Tatum has represented me and my family on several occasions. We are proud to call him not only our lawyer, but also our friend. Mr. Tatum puts his heart and soul into a case, he studies and researches the details, obtains additional information and truly cares about his clients. Mr. Tatum's attitude towards his legal practice is based on Godly principals and I believe that is why Larry is so successful as an attorney. While working on my immigration case, Larry reached out to his network, involved our state congressman, pursued many alternatives, came up with the "out of the box" legal solutions, continued to encourage me and never gave up and achieved a positive outcome, that effected the rest of my life. I know if you choose Mr. Tatum to represent you and help him to get all the necessary detail for your case, he will do his very best. Thank you Larry.

Great family Lawyer
Attorney Larry H. Tatum is practical, very knowledgeable and care deeply about his clients. When I hired Attorney Larry H. Tatum for my divorce and custody battle case, he took it as if it was his own and has never left my side. He fought so hard for me and my children I just don't have words to thank him enough for all he has done for us. I am extremely grateful for him. He is the best lawyer you could ever ask for. I totally recommend his legal services.

Great Family Practice Attorney
Larry did a wonderful job walking my family through the ins and outs of executing powers of attorney when my father suffered a severe stroke that resulted in massive cognitive impairment. He gave wonderful counsel with grace and was able to inject appropriate humor to lighten strain of the challenges we were facing.

Larry represented me during a very difficult period in my life. His knowledge of family law is second to none. He was always well prepared and would let me know what to expect. He stayed focused on my best interest and the best interest of my children. He is very professional and ethical attorney and I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Excellent Divorce Lawyer
I hired Mr. Tatum to represent me in my divorce and custody case. He was very easy to talk to, was responsive to my inquiries, and did very well in court. He was upfront with me about what to expect, and the results so far have been very favorable.

Family Court
I am pleased with Attorney Larry Tatum, getting my child support order reversed. He didn't try to charge me outrageous fee's, he accomplished, what he had promised, she showed that he was concern about the welfare of the child. I would recommend him to friends, and family members.
