Very knowledgeable, genuine, great listener and down to earth

I was referred to Ms. Gattis by a friend. I met with her on the first time December 12, 2019. I am a very big on observation of people and first impressions are everything to me. The young lady at the front desk was very sweet, led me to the waiting area and offered me water. She was very sweet and... so I could tell that was just her natural nature. I knew than that I was in the right place. She wasn’t arrogant or rude. She was Everything that one would expect when encountering an individual for the first time in a professional business setting. Ms. Gattis, came in shortly after I arrived and she had a very pleasant demeanor. She is a very professional and sophisticated lady with beautiful eyes. She shook my hand and we dove in as why I came to see her. I have 2 beautiful grandchildren that my daughter refuses to let me see or talk to at all because of a disagreement. Whenever she gets mad at me she won’t allow me to see them. It’s out of spite and it has a lot to do with her maturity level. I love her and I truly love my grandchildren. I will never stop loving my child no matter if she is willing to reciprocate the same love I have for her or not. I just want to see and spend time with my grandchildren like I always have. I’ve always been an active part of all their lives. I would keep them all the time. I would even call and ask to keep them weekly. I just hate that she does not see the impact this is having on the kids; especially the oldest one. Ms. Gattis did give me reassurance that I do have grandparents rights. I’ve got over a 1000 pics of me with the girls, or them at my house. They have everything they need at my house. Their mom only had to bring formula for the baby. I also have a lot of videos of us, my oldest granddaughter and I baking cookies, planting seeds for flowers and doing art & crafts. My oldest grandchild really loves me and never wants to go home. The judge could ask her for him or herself. My 2nd one is just a baby that I have not really had a chance to bond with sense she was born until almost 3 months in July 2019. I have cried so much... down so many tears. I’ve just prayed and cried myself to sleep. God knows I’ve been through a lot in my life, but this has broken my heart in a million pieces. Just imagine someone taking your 2 little heartbeats away. I could get them whenever I wanted them, but if I made my daughter mad, or said something she didn’t like there goes her ripping the babies from my life. I have a lot of faith in Ms. Gattis that she will get an order for me to see my grandchildren. I prayed to God for these little girls and cut the youngest umbilical cord when she was born. There is not one thing my husband and I would not do for our little heartbeats! All I can do now is leave this situation in the hands of the Lord and take my hands off of it. I know in my heart that Ms. Gattis will help me see my little heartbeats again. She has an Awesome track record and I know in my heart I will not be disappointed. I truly believe God ordered my steps to put Ms. Gattis in my path. Thank you Ms. Gattis for being so willing to help me and for having compassion, empathy and willingness to understand how much I REALLY need your help. God bless you!! May God bless you and give you the wisdom and discernment to make it happen soon for me to see my grandchildren. I could never repay you for your hospitality and empathy. Thanks so much, Angela A.

Wonderful results/Very Grateful!

Tammy was referred to us by a family friend and I'm glad she was. We definitely made the right choice having her as our lawyer. Through the couple of cases we have had, Tammy and her team has been by our side through it all. I literally mean every step of the way, getting the results we wanted and i...n the time we needed. She even won an appeal case for us which was set legal precedence for the entire state!!! (Holloway vs. Carter, 2019. Ark. App) She truly worked hard day and night for my family and we couldn't be happier! I can't thank her enough. We are beyond blessed and very grateful!

Best Custody Attorney in Arkansas

Tammy Gattis, along with assistance from Josh Gonzales, at Owings Law Firm, did an outstanding job representing me in a change of custody case as well as a case to set visitation prior the change in custody. With their expert advice and countless hours of dedication in my case, both hearings went in ...my favor. As hard as people say it is for a father to get full custody of his children, Mrs. Gattis and her team at Owings Law Firm made it look effortless. All you have to do is follow their advice and watch the magic happen. My family and I are grateful for all that Mrs. Gattis and her staff at Owings has done for us. I recommend Tammy Gattis to my friends and family also. Give her a call, even if it's just for advice; she will lead and guide you in the direction of success. I started by calling for advice and today I have custody of my son.

Child custody win

I hired Tammy for the right to have custody of my children. She was able to use the information I gave her to compile and build a solid case that resulted in a win for us. Tammy and her team have a good reputation and our lines of communication were direct and responsive. Much appreciated for all the... dedicated and difficult work put into win the case.

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.
