Always has your back!

Jeff is by far one of the best attorneys you can get in the Newport Beach area. He was very well connected and made it clear that he was always looking out for my best interests. Jeff turned a stressful court experience into something that I was able to forget about on the weekends. I would highly... reccomend Jeff to anyone that is looking for an experienced attorney.

WOW!

“We hired Mr Tatch for a very serious felony matter. It was a horrible situation but he handled it quickly from the minute our family contacted him. He got me out of jail within hours of my arrest and I was able to keep my job. Then during the reviewing process of the case he put together an exce...llent plan, did a thorough job investigating the case and we executed things. He was able to stop the case from getting filed by the DA by meeting with him multiple times. I never faced criminal charges in court. Basically saved my career. I almost couldn’t believe it. What a great result! I can’t recommend him enough. “

GREAT DEFENSE LAWYER

It is my pleasure to write this review for Jeff Tatch. I was in an unfortunate situation with my daughter’s father, as he was falsely accusing me of domestic violence and trying to take my special needs daughter away from me by manipulating the justice system I’ve have dealt with other lawyers in t...he past, and I can honestly say, I have never seen one that follows up and answers your questions as quickly as Jeff does. I was very anxious and the legal technicalities were very confusing and intimidating, but once I spoke to Jeff, I immediately felt calm because he reassured me and explained to me what was happening step by step. Jeff strategically fought for me. He understood the delicate situation and he handled the case with knowledge, confidence, and consistency. He was able to show the courts the true motivation of my ex, and now I can put the horrible situation behind me. If I am ever in a situation again that requires me to retain a lawyer, Jeff will be the first person I call.

Excellent Criminal Defense Attorney

I've referred several family members (including my brother and sister-in-law) and friends to Jeff Tatch to help with their criminal matters. First and foremost, he is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and extremely professional. Secondly, he is extremely organized and upfront with his clients as to strateg...y/defenses/potential outcomes. Lastly, he is very caring and diligent about making sure his clients are looked after throughout the entirety of criminal proceedings and afterwards. Look no further! Hire him if you want to assure yourself best possible outcomes in your criminal matter.
