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.

Best Attorney in the OC

Mr. Tatch Is the perfect person to call when you have an emergency and something needs fixing immediately. He was definitely there for me and I could count on him which is important when you need it! He’s super easy to contact through texting or cell and he provides clients with his personal cel...l phone to use anytime. I never had a problem reaching him or getting an answer when I needed it. His office is next to the Harbor courthouse and he used to be a DA, so he is really helpful by knowing all of the people at the courts in Orange County, knowing the system and how to help you get the best result with his good connections in court. I highly recommend him.

Amazing Attorney - Very Thorough - Wants to WIN!

I had never had any run ins with the law until recent and Jeff was right there by my side to help. This being my first case I did not know what to expect, I constantly would have questions and Jeff was only a phone call or text away. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone that is in some legal tro...uble. Jeff is professional, understanding, intelligent, and caring. Through the whole process I really felt that Jeff was right there in my corner fighting for me 100%. Highly recommend A++++++

Excellent criminal lawyer for Duis

Jeff is very good and very connected. I was facing a year in jail for two separate Duis. I had priors and he kept me out of Orange County jail completely. Can't believe it. I was able to keep my job I've had for 12 years. He is very attentive and easy to reach on his cell. Very personal ser...vice. It was an extremely tough case and he really saved my job.
