He does not loose!

Attorney Tatum deserves the title "Super Lawyer". I so glad I had him in my corner. He is personable and promptly answered any questions I had and made my entire family feel at ease and confident. And then, look on the faces of my children when Attorney Tatum won my case was everything!! This win ...will allow me to get my life back. I would highly recommend Finis Tatum.

Professional services

Finis Tatum was hired late into my divorce proceedings. Finis and his colleagues went above and beyond to help me with the outcome of my case. Finis was very knowledgeable and professional and made sure I understood any and every part of the divorce process. I've had a great/awesome experience with h...im and his firm. I would highly recommend his services.

Awesome Lawyer! Agressive and effective....

I'd recently found myself in a very frustrating and complex situation involving child support. I was referred to Finis by another attorney who spoke very highly of him and assured me that he was very proficient. I was a little apprehensive when first meeting Finis primarily because he looked reall...y young and all my prior dealings with attorneys that I'd had success with were all a little more on the "seasoned" side. My trepidation was immediately diffused. Finis immediatley began asking questions and pointing things out to me that I had overlooked. I could tell that he has a handle on law and all of it's intricate facets that are beyond his years. Finis didn't rush things. He hatched a strategy and had frequent conversations with me to provide me with updates. On the day of court, my ex-wife had gone to great lengths to alter her income to make it appear that her annual income was less than $30k a year. Finis was able to navigate a TOME of documents from both our side and hers to uncover the truth which was that her income was well over $200k a year. He did this all the while maintaing a constant dialouge between her counsel and the judge. He was constant pressure! In the end, this constant barrage sealed the deal. My ex-wife's manipulation and dishonesty was exposed in open court. A lesser attorney would not have been able to have gotten me the outcome that he did. For that fact - I am 100% convinced. If you're looking for a "cheap" lawyer or trying to find an attorney that's easy on your wallet - You're always going to get what you pay for. Finis isn't the cheapest attorney out there but he's far from the most expensive either. I can honestly say that I was charged fairly and felt that in the end, what I gained was far more than what I was charged for. Thank you Finis.

Retainer

Finis took a large retainer. Had me sign a contract for a large sum . Did not bring my case to court and eventually quit answering my calls. Taking my money is what he was about. Wanted a payment each time I called but never filed a case. Lied to me.
