“I still think about how blessed I was when Attorney Evelyn Portie decided to represent me. It was during a time in my life when I had a legal problem that I couldn’t solve alone. A friend highly recommended her and after our initial meeting, I was convinced she was a warrior who would fight for people and could be the answer to resolving my dilemma. And she did. Her diligence and commitment to my case led to a victory that meant more than I could ever describe. What gave me strength through that time, was the fact that I wasn’t just another client, rather a person who really mattered!”

Our relationship as business owner and attorney developed over time after discovering a mutual trust for one another. We met when I was hired to perform a geophysical survey at their property to help them discover locations of items around their property. Over time, we became friends and, about 3 years ago we discussed the practicality of Tatum & Portie, PLLC becoming my business attorneys. The things I discovered regarding some legal concepts for business owners were explained in layman’s terms. Tatum & Portie PLLC created long form contracts, short form contracts, and more importantly reviewed language used in reports to help guide me in use of using clear and proper contractual terms and avoiding the unclear and potentially dangerous language in contracts. At all times this firm has been truly professional, are well educated in the subject matter, and very easy to interact with. I recommend taking the time to learn more about Tatum & Portie, PLLC as this is a great firm.

I have worked with Evelyn Tatum Portie at both the branch and home level of two major insurers. She was always prepared, thorough, and rose beyond the level of expectation no matter which audience she was addressing. She could explain complex coverage issues, challenging jurisdictions and catastrophic injuries so any level of listener walked away with a clear understanding of the exposure they were facing.

In the same manner, Ms. Tatum was a vigorous advocate for her client; giving them a sense of feeling their interests were protected. She was able to be warm to an injured plaintiff while still holding a tough line with an over reaching plaintiff attorney. She was also formidable in a courtroom and mediation. More than one attorney learned the hard way not to underestimate her Southern charm, except at their own peril.

She is honest, open, communicative and bills fairly. I am proud of the results we achieved in reducing costs of the paid claim, associated legal expenses and legal fees.

It is with great pleasure that we recommend the firm of Tatum and Portie. We sold our business, Computer Explorers of Central Mississippi, in December of 2019 and asked Tatum and Portie to examine the sales documents and to prepare a commercial lease for our office building. They did an excellent job on each task. We appreciated the time, focus and dedication that was put forth to complete the requirements.

We have used Tatum and Portie for the other legal need for years and we highly recommend the firm. They provide quick, accurate and reliable legal advice and work.
