This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Detail Oriented

Divorce can be one of hardest things in life when there is property, debt and children involved. The task of fighting for desired outcomes becomes trickier when the other party relocates to another state. Gerald Tadlock took this complex case and was able to coordinate standing orders between two ...different states and able to secure the wellbeing of the children. He was prepared for each court interaction and explored all options prior to presenting. His attentiveness and legal expertise definitely decrease the length of the case and the amount of anguish involved. I recommend Gerald Tadlock to anyone that is needing legal guidance and representation in a family law case.

I trust him

Mr. Tadlock has been my attorney in the past, & I have nothing but good things to say. He was through and timely. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of a fair and ethical attorney.

Excellent Lawyer!!

Mr. Tadlock took action in my divorce case from the first meeting and put the kids interest as the upmost priority. He was prompt and compassionate throughout the whole time. He was professional and competent during the court procedure regarding custody. He was tireless in trying to come to a equi...table solution to the divorce and kept me informed of all information regarding my case. In the end he was successful in me being granted full custody of both of my children. I would highly recommend Mr. Tadlock for any legal matter you may have.

Gerlad Tadlock is an Excellent Attorney.

I recommend Gerald Tadlock as your attorney. I explained the situation of my complicated family matter and he gave me a time frame that he could have the case completed. He completed the case in the time he estimated. He was always available for my questions and he didn't nickel and dime me for every... phone call or email like my previous attorney. He was a master negotiator and I received a fair hearing. Gerald Tadlock is not only a veteran, but he also helps veterans. He made the process easy for me and knows what he doing.

Great Lawyer, Caring, Responsive, Knows his stuff

I have used Gerald Tadlock for a complicated family law case. He really took the time to get all of the information about the case, not like other lawyers who do everything through their staff. He took the time to get to know the issues, he was familiar with the Courts and their policies. He never... missed a deadline (in fact would make sure that everything as done before any deadline). All I can say is that he truly cares about his clients and his cases. He is confident and knows when to try to settle and knows when to be forceful. I would have absolutely no hesitation in not only hiring him again but referring him to any friend or family member looking to hire an experienced professional who will handle your case from start to finish in a proficient and skilled manner.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have worked with Gerald on a couple of cases through the years. He has always expressed the utmost professionalism in dealing with me and in trying to resolve the difficult issues we've had to deal with in our cases. Gerald aggressively advocates for his clients in the courtroom and in doing so I respect him as a tough but fair opponent. Outside of the courtroom Gerald has always been more than happy to offer assistance and counsel on difficult issues. He is a good attorney who is willing to go to bat for his clients and fight for their rights."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Gerald and I represented clients that were diametrically opposed on a case. We wound up mediating the case into the wee hours of the night, and because of Gerald's tenacity combined with his creativity and "reasonableness," the case settled. Not only did he represent his client well, but he injected a much-needed sense of calm and rationality to the entire process. I highly endorse him!"

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I've had cases against Mr. Tadlock and consulted with him on the same side of cases. I've always found him to be straight forward, ethical, and honest. He is easy to deal with and will work toward settlement if possible, but at the same time he will not shy away from pursuing his client's goals in court if that is necessary."

Divorce and separation lawyer | Sep 17

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I worked opposite Gerald on a a very difficult case. The family was in complete turmoil and was busting at the seems. The kids were way too involved and the clients were out of control. Gerald worked with the system and advocated for his client professionally and aggressively. During the chaos he also kept his focus not only on the client but also on making sure the kids weren't used as weapons. I can't say I enjoyed the case, but it was a professional pleasure to work with someone that maintained his integrity during that very difficult process."
