Hired Attorney Tiffany Love

My experience with this attorney was deeply disappointing. Communication was minimal, and I often felt like I was left completely in the dark. Attempts to get updates or assistance were mostly ignored, and I struggled to get even the most basic follow-up. It seemed like my case was not a priority at all. I found her to be unresponsive, unhelpful, and lacking the professionalism I expected. It was extremely frustrating to feel abandoned during a legal matter. I genuinely hope someone looks into her practices and billing, as the lack of support was unacceptable.

Hired Attorney Tiffany Love

I had an extremely frustrating experience with Ms. Love. From the beginning, communication was poor and inconsistent. Messages and inquiries often went unanswered for days, sometimes weeks. I felt completely unsupported throughout my case, as if I was handling it alone despite having hired legal representation. There was little to no transparency, and I struggled to get clear answers about next steps or even basic updates. I expected a level of professionalism and guidance that simply wasn’t there. I felt dismissed, unheard, and ultimately let down during a very stressful and time-sensitive situation. If you’re looking for an attorney who will be responsive, present, and committed to your case, I strongly suggest you look elsewhere. I would not recommend this attorney based on my experience.

Unfortunately horrible experience with minimum follow up and assistance maybe provide provided to assist and help with my case maybe she is too busy to assist. She has been Unresponsive, nor trustworthy, and not professional to assist in matter. Hope the firm gets investigated for unlawful representation fees.

Hired Law Firm

Do not use this firm!!!!! I was recommend to use Trent Cotney after my prior lawyer became ill. He passed the majority of the file to Virgil Tray Batcher and the firm excessively billed me to the tune of $56,000 in 8 months. As far as I know, there were no depositions or trials or major hearings in that time. $56,000 for what?! Tray then billed me approx 20 hours to re-do all of the claims by my prior lawyer and then never even filed the new claims in the case. I brought in another attorney to review their billing and their immediate response was to withdraw, in which they did even though I contested it. Then, on top of that, they tried to bill me for the time they incurred to withdraw! This firm is awful and didn’t care about me. I would not expect them to care about you either.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
