Experienced Professional Who Delivers Results

Attorney Alan Tuttman was very responsive and consultative on initial phone discussion. I hired him for a minor possession of alcohol case. Although this was likely a small case for him, he treated it very seriously and professionally, with thorough preparation, including interviews with the defend...ant and obtaining the police report. His perfect blend of experience, calm demeanor, and aggressive but professional persistence, helped secure a favorable disposition at the Clerk's Hearing, without the case going forward to a criminal complaint. I highly recommend Attorney Alan Tuttman.

Cant say enough about my positive experience with Alan. He is an extremely professional competent and articulate attorney.

I hired Alan to help me with a legal matter. During my initial phone call to him he spent an hour explaining the process that I would go though and educating me on my options even before I hired him as my attorney. When we showed up at court for the arraignment there was a mix up in the paperwork a...nd I was not scheduled to be in that court even though all of the paperwork indicated otherwise. I had been urt 30 minutes herwise. otherwise. ise. They had me at a court 30that was 30 otherwise. hey another courthouse 30 minutes away on the following day. I had been I had I had I had been dropped off and had taken the day off from work. Alan calmly drove me to the correct courthouse and had the arraignment rescheduled for that day. I would have been lost without him to guide me through the legal maze not to mention to get me to the correct courthouse and have the date changed. He is extremely professional a good communicator, empathetic and pleasant and has very good relations with everyone who we encountered in both courts. He described legal process to me in laymans terms and I felt very comfortable and safe with him in a situation where I did not feel very comfortable and safe. He was able to bring my case to the best possible resolution on that day so I would not need to go back to court. By doing this he facilitated minimizing the time when I would not have my license to drive. I am so happy that I found Alan and highly recommend him to anyone who wants their case to come to a smooth and swift resolution with the least amount of courtroom hassle.

best MA DUI Lawyer

I hired Mr. Tuttman to assist me with a first offense OUI charge. He was professional, easy to talk to, and highly knowledgeable about Massachusetts OUI law. He made an honest effort to inform me of the specifics and explain all of the paths that we could take in approaching the case. I had to ge...t the case continued a few times because of travel, even at the last minute in one case, and Mr. Tuttman made this process painless, I just had to let him know and he took care of everything. He is respected at court, and carries himself in a very respectable way that made me confident and proud to have him defending me. Ultimately I decided not to go to trial, but Mr. Tuttman's services were highly valuable to me for his professional, organized, dedicated approach. He also got us in and out of court very quickly both times I went with him. This was in stark contrast to my arraignment where I showed up alone and had to wait from 9 am until 430 to have 2 minutes of charges read to me. Mr. Tuttman is one of the best for DUI in Massachusetts. His services are more expensive than the court-appointed lawyers but 100% worth it. He's the first person I'll call if I have any legal troubles going forward.

Great DUI/DWI Attorney.

I was referred to Alan through an attorney who is a very good friend who told me he would trust Alan to defend his mother. I was stopped at a Mass Sobriety checkpoint and charged unfairly without getting into details. Once Alan heard my story he assured me that my case could be won. The process is lo...ng and stressfull but Alan kept me in check the entire time and of course we won. I wish I could say it was inexpensive but it was not, however the price was a bargain in the scheme of things. I would not hesitate to refer anyone that needs that kind of help to Alan.

Could not be happier with my selection of Alan Tuttman as my defense Criminal Lawyer

Alan Tuttman was very articulate during the trial cross-examination. Alan disected the witness's testimony to such a degree that the case ended in the best possible outcome for me. During the entire trial process, Alan kept me informed on what to expect and potential outcomes. From the begining, Al...an was very confident that we would win but he made me aware of potential problems or issue which might affect the trial's outcome. The entire process took longer than I had hoped it would, but Mr Tuttman explained to me that this was probably better for us and he was correct. I would definitely hire Alan Tuttman again if I need a good criminal lawyer,
