Law Office of Husain A. Gatlin - Newark, NJ

The worst lawyer /person that I ever met very arrogant and not a truthful person. Not a trail attorney no matter what he tells you. He makes decisions and deals behind your back with the prosecutor and judges without consulting the client. If you hire him make sure you beware He's not to be trusted. He might be good for making a deal with the prosecutor. He a high price public pretender

Mr Gatlin is a fraud and shouldn't be practicing law in any state. I hired Mr. Gatlin for a case where he let building inspector on my property without discussing it with me than turned around and intentionally misrepresented me conspiracing with the judge, prosecutor, and building inspection to violate my civil rights. I also filed a fee arbitration to get all my money back considering filing a law suit. BEWARE when dealing with Mr. Gatlin he is not trust worthy.

I paid Husain Gatlin $2,500 to represent me in a simple civil dispute. From the beginning, he was difficult to get a hold of, and even though I only reached out with legitimate questions, Gatlin only communicated through a document uploading website, through which it took several days to get a response. Communication got so bad with Gatlin that another lawyer of mine attempted to contact him regarding vital matters- he and I still got no response for weeks. Gatlin made it clear to me -by actually telling me- that he was tired of this case and had no interest in continuing it. It was such a relatively minor case (albeit very important to me) that he simply lost interest when it started taking just a little longer than expected to reach a resolution. WORSE OF ALL, I didn’t find out until trial commenced (with a new lawyer) that a major point of contention between the other party and me was caused by Gatlin’s carelessness. Part of my countersuit against the other party was for trespassing. It didn’t come out until the trial, when opposing counsel brought it to my attention while I was on the witness stand, that unbeknownst to me, Gatlin had given the go-ahead to the other party to enter my property WITHOUT CONSULTING ME, OR EVEN TELLING ME AFTER HE DID IT. Police were called, charges were filed, trial took place, all because Gatlin, knowing I would never allow the trespass FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN, took it upon himself to let the other party enter my property without even telling me he’d done it. As a trial date approached, when he should have been the most interactive, Gatlin completely fell off the face of the planet. Neither I nor my other attorney could reach him at all. Weeks later, I fired him and hired another attorney. Since Gatlin did nothing the entire ten months he “represented” me (other than wear his pretty little bow ties), I filed for fee arbitration to recoup at least a portion of the $2,500 I paid. During the fee arbitration hearing, he blatantly lied several times, and when I proved he was lying, he resorted to insults. If your case isn’t as sexy and exciting as a murder, this is the kind of service you can expect from Husain Gatlin.

It was a sincere pleasure working with this law firm of Attorney Husain Gatlin. He is very professional and knowledgeable of the law. He treated my son with dignity, respect, and courtesy when dealing with him. He made several visits to the detention center to speak with my son and update him on his case (He made sure that my son clearly understood what was going on with his case). Further, he kept me updated with the case as well via his portal. He represented my son well, and he was released. The service we received from Mr. Gatlin was quality, he dug deep and exhausted all avenues to get the best outcome for my son. I would without any hesitation hire Mr. Gatlin again if necessary and would recommend him to family and friends as well. Attorney Husain Gatlin comes highly recommended. It is a true pleasure and an honor to write this review on behalf of this law firm. An attorney that cares about his clients, as evidenced by his work.
