I got a summons and I have no idea why. I called Attorney Ratchford. He meet with me and told me his fee . My identity was stolen in 2015. I thought the hardest part was over then I get a summons for court. The charges were something I know wasn't me Attorney Ratchford listen to me and I feel confident that he will settle this once and for all. I appreciate the legal help. He treats me with respect and diginity. I also use him for charges against my husband. He always does what he says he will do.He treats you like you are his only client. He doesn't push or rush you when he defense you, he treats you with the respect and professional manner. Thank you so much for being on my side. I feel like the outcome will be truthful and honest. I feel like the Court's will know that sometimes they do grab the wrong person. And with the up most respect he treats you with diginity and intergrity . I feel like justice will be served. . .. I will only use Attorney Ratchford because he is on your side. Thanks so much Teresa

I Have been a client of Brents for over 10 years. He genuinely cares for his clients and never hides the truth. He is the absolute best attorney I have ever known. He is steadfast in his defense, and has been elected lawyer of the year by the Gaston gazette several times. He will fight until the bitter end, and he will always have his clients best I interests at heart. Brent knows it is a miserable time for his clients, but he always has a smile and a kind word, many times when clients need to hear it most. Sure, he must get paid, but he is the type of stand up person who would love to reform all his clients. He has been there for me through the worst and the best, and there is no one I would rather have at my side. Mr Ratchford, you are a great attorney and an even better person.

I hired Brent D. Ratchford for a private matter that I have fought all my life. Thanks to this lawyer , I will no longer have to be told that my actions for something that I did 27 year's ago will keep me from getting employment. Why should I still be punished 27 year's later for two minor misdmeanors. Brent D. Ratchford came through when other lawyers I paid couldn't get the job done. Why is that? This lawyer is a sure bet every time. I would not think twice about hiring this attorney for any matter at any time.

Brent knows his way around the courtroom and is the best lawyer I've ever worked with. It doesn't matter to me If it's a seatbelt ticket or me on a murder charge I want Brent there. No one else can get the kind of results in the courtroom that he does. I would have left this review a year ago but I just learned about this site. Remember DO NOT FRIGHT LET BRENT FIGHT!!!! Knows when to stay and when to play.

After seeing on his website that Mr. Ratchford handles traffic tickets I sent an email asking if he could help with my family member’s traffic ticket. Based on his offiCE’s quick response that he could help, we completed the paperwork they forwarded and dropped it off along with payment in full to his office. We were told it would be resolved in a week or two. After a week I inquired and nothing had happened. After 2 weeks I inquired and nothing had happened. I was told it would be done by the end of that week. When I checked back in at the beginning of the next week, a paralegal told me Mr. Ratchford went to see the DA but he wasn’t in. I was told by the end of THAT week it would be resolved. At this point I had yet to hear directly from Mr. Ratchford, I was always handled by someone working for him. As the court date approaches, something we would have handled in minutes by paying the fine online continues to worry us day after day, week after week, because he said he could get the charge reduced and prevent impact to our insurance but has done nothing. I understand he probably has much bigger cases, but why take on the case if he didn’t have time to handle it? I could have simply found another attorney or just paid the ticket. This minor case for a busy attorney is important to someone who just wants to stay out of trouble. Who do you turn to when taken advantage of by an attorney - another attorney? We signed a document that said we don’t need to appear in court because Mr. Ratchford will go. Do we trust he will finally act and risk being charged for failure to appear? My check has been cash with nothing to show for it and I am at wits end.
