Gerald Ray Ratliff

I could pretty much verbatim say what one of the other reviewers said. It is time for this guy to retire. He was incredibly incompetent in helping with my legal matter. As has been said...flippant...not prepared and didn't remotely fight for me. I could have defended better than he did. No r...esearch...incredibly POOR communication. If no stars was an option...I would pick that.

Stay as far away from Mr. Ratliff as you can. He was incompetent in my divorce case, provided inaccurate legal advice, seemed flippant and disinterested, never did research regarding my prenuptial agreement, and ended up telling me that it was invalid and couldn't be admitted. I have come to find o...ut that he was totally incorrect, but I didn't know it at the time. I lost an incredible amount of money that was rightfully mine, but because of this individual, the error can not be rectified. Don't let it happen to you. Stay away from him. He's terrible. Score: 0 out of 10.

Took on my case and immediately appealed to the county level. I didn't know this until afterwards, but having never been cited by the city, there was no basis for the case to being with, however appealing automatically forfeit my right to due process. Had to hire another (much better) lawyer who took... care of everything, but it cost many thousand dollars. His assistant was unprofessional, describing their recommended steps as "the real f***ing deal option" which didn't exactly answer my technical questions. Told to take the "really good plea bargain" on a case of false accusation with no evidence against me. He is looking to get his money and get the case over with regardless of the outcome. Avoid Gerald Ratliff and his affiliates at all costs.

Presented himself as a family lawyer when specializes in other fields. Never answers his phone or calls back, mostly spoke with his assistant. Never gave me copies of any paperwork. He seemed to assist the competition or other attorney rather than his client. Was frustrated from day one nothing from ...problems. Wasted my money and cut loose despite my great financial need just to get someone, anyone better.
