Joseph John H. Rattman

Like the review below, this "lawyer" didn't even look at any of the three folders full of paperwork I brought - at his request - before launching into a nasty tirade in which he accused me of faking my disability to get pain medication, made derogatory remarks regarding my psychological health, prie...d into my personal affairs, verbally attacked me for personal choices that had nothing to do with my disability claim then belittled me for not having expert knowledge of the area of law I was consulting him for help with - isn't that WHY I was seeing him, because he's supposed to be the legal expert? I failed to see any legal understanding on his part though he does seem to think he's a doctor based upon his quick referral that I should be seeing a "psychologist, psychiatrist, counselor or social worker" instead of a physician - a comment that falls grossly outside of the scope of his expertise and was not warranted by any means. I felt like the only purpose of our appointment was for him to use me as an emotional punching bag to get out his frustrations - he seemed to enjoy berating me as the more upset I got, the meaner and louder he became until I ran out of his office in tears . His "legal" opinion of my case was completely off base as the next lawyer I consulted had no issue representing me for the same issue I had seen "Attorney" Rattman for. Don't waste your time with this emotional time bomb and see a legitimate attorney that can properly manage their personal stress and anger. He should have his license to practice law revoked for the abusive manner in which he treats potential clients especially considering he deals with disabled persons.
