Family Law

Ms. Gattis, excellent in handling this matter for our family. It was handled in appropriate time frame, with items we had not considered to assist us in the outcome of our matter. I would recommend her and her team to anyone needing this kind of assistance.

The best

Tammy took my case for Grandparents right of visitation and needless to say I now get to see my 3 granddaughters every other weekend. It was not a easy case but she is the Best !

Top notch attorney

I have been using Tammy Gattis’ service for 10 Years now, and in my opinion, she is the best attorney in the state for custodial and family matters. She is very competent and knows the general outcome of every case she has handled of mine before we go to court. From the very beginning, Mrs Gattis hel...ped me feel comfortable talking to her about everything going on, whether good or bad, and has worked very hard to help me maintain custody of my children in a state that is very well known to be a “mothers first” state. I feel that she is worth her weight in gold, and I would recommend her to ANYONE needing good representation for family or custodial matters.

Exceptional Attorney

I came to Tammy Gattis with a very high conflict custody situation. Tammy's expertise, perseverance and diligence provided an extraordinary outcome. She saved my daughter and I will be forever indebted to her. I don't have the words to express how grateful we were to have had her represent us. Also t...he staff at her office are fantastic! Everyone really goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend using Tammy Gattis for any legal matters.

Excellent family attorney

I hired Tammy after a free half-hour consultation for my child custody case. She is confident and thoughtful, and I feel like she genuinely cares about me and my family as people, not just clients. She was always brutally honest with me, even when it was bad news, but would also fight hard for me wit...hout holding back. During one of our meetings she even called the judge directly to argue a point where we believed he was mistaken. My case ended up settling out of court, but if we had gone to court, I would have been glad to have Tammy with me. There were probably a half-dozen times where I was freaking out because of a development in the case, but when I called Tammy, she got back to me quickly and helped me figure out my options and calm me down. She's a no-nonsense lawyer that made sure every minute of time was valuable.
