Terrible Attorney

Paid 3000$ for an agreement that was changed by opposing attorney and now have to go to court. After over a year of trouble with this attorney she is now requesting a withdrawal and the case has to be heard for first time. No refund given.

Best Family Law Attorney in Abilene!

Tami Ratliff is by far the most incredible family law attorney In Abilene, TX and the surrounding areas!!! She is very interpersonal, on task and knows all the laws. Tami has amazing rates. I have worked with Ms. Ratliff for years. She has handled my divorce and custody of my four children quickly, w...on my cases, super professional and always responded promptly. We never lost contact. She kept me updated and worked very well with my now ex-husbands attorney as well. The most honest person I’ve ever met. I know if I want the truth who to go to. I feel safe in her hands. I know my paper work will not get pushed away or set aside when it comes to her. Shes absolutely on point with everything and worth way more than she asks for. She sincerely cares about her clients and their situations and will work all hours to reassure they are taken care of. I can honestly say I trust Tami with mine and my families life. I would hire this wonderful attorney OVER AND OVER again. I never had to worry about a thing. I referred several clients to her and they all tell me the same thing. She’s the worlds BEST, you won’t regret it.

Horrible

I hired Tami for a custody/divorce case in December of 2014. At first, she seemed very attentive to my case, but that dwindled to the point that I was never able to reach her at all. The final hearing wasn't done until the next November. Although the results were favorable, she just seemed utterly di...sinterested in the court room. It is now March and I have yet to receive a copy of the divorce decree. It was almost two months before she even got it to the judge to be signed. Every time I call, her voice mail box is full. She text me to let me know their office was moving. But has not responded on that number either. Emails are a waste of time also.

Worthless

I hired Tami Ratliff for a child custody case. (In 2009) Visited with her assistant once and her on the 2nd visit. After that, I called numerous times regarding my case but couldn't get a return phone call. They kept telling me she would call me when she was ready to get my case together (all the way... up until the day before court). She called me the morning of court and told me she didn't know what to do because we hadn't talked "so she withdrew as my attorney and don't go to court, a new hearing will be set". I literally got screwed for not showing up to court! When I called back the following day and once again talked to her assistant, she argued that "Mrs Ratliff would not have done that". OH BUT SHE DID DO THAT!
