Gerald Ray Ratliff

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.
