Staff will treat you like dirt!!!

I called Ms. Tammy's law office to schedule a consultation. It has been a month, she never returned my calls. But the reason why I am giving her a bad review is because her staff was RUDE IN THE EXTREME. The first person to represent your business is the person who answers the phone. She interrup...ted me as I tried to explain my situation, she also raised her voice a few times.

Replied last July 10, 2023

This person was upset because I refused to provide free services. I don't condone my staff acting rude to anyone on the phone but I also do not allow callers to run over the staff especially when foul language is used. I never called him back because I was not interested in working for him for free.

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.

Temporary/Permanent Guardianship

Hired Tammy Gattis in a Temporary/Permanent Guardianship Case. Tammy moved as quickly as possible so that I could gain guardianship of the grandchildren.

Emergency Child Custody Case-with Awesome Results

We contacted Tammy after the little girls mother took off with the child while doing drugs and putting the child in extremely dangerous situations. We were desperate to get full custody to the father and needed someone to understand the danger this little girl was in a act accordingly. We contacted... Tammy from California two days before New Years Eve desperate to hire a lawyer who could get this child away from what was increasingly becoming a seriously dangerous situation. Tammy listened to what the whole family had witnessed with the child and mother and understood immediately how fearful we were for the child's safety. Within 48 hours of contacting and hiring Tammy, she had received the emergency custodial order signed by the judge. Most everyone at the court was on vacation, as it was New Years Eve, but Tammy kept searching and contacting court personnel until she found a judge that could review the case and render a ruling. I cannot begin to tell you, the reviewer reading this, how compassionate and professional Tammy was....and how she immediately moved on this case with no hesitation. I cannot imagine hiring a more efficient and caring lawyer and I would recommend Tammy Brasuell Gattis to anyone looking for a lawyer they can trust and who will work tirelessly to get the end result needed. 6 Stars if there were such a thing!

Recommend this lawyer

Returned phone calls, prepared for court, great job in court. Best attribute is that she is reasonable and gets the job done. Things did not drag on. With Ms. Gattis, you get a statement each month showing what she did and how much it cost. Great staff.
