Thank you mr. Tinsworth

Mr. Tinsworth was giving to me as a court appointed lawyer for dui,oui, multiple other infractions. I now have his personal number and will only contact Mr. Tinsworth no other. He kept in touch with me and my family and had many charges dismissed. Very professional and intelligent in his field.

Best Attorney around

I have to say that Gregory Tinsworth is the best lawyer around. I’ve had the privilege to have him represent me in multiply cases that I thought would be impossible to get dismissed. He’s goes above and beyond in the court room like no other lawyer will. I was facing a dui that if I was found guilty... of would completely screw up my life and my family’s life in many ways. But leave it to Greg to get it dismissed with a jury trial. His opening statement was so professional and just straight to the point to gain the jury’s complete attention it’s hard to explain.... Then when cross examining officer in the case he completely destroyed him leaving the officer speechless without answers countless times. I mean this guy just completely destroys officers on the bench. He guides you every step of the case perfectly. He’s had multiply charges dismissed for me and it almost seems effortless for him. I can’t recommend him enough. if you want to beat your case or find yourself in need of an attorney Gregory Tinsworth is defiantly the first guy you should call. Me and my family will forever be thankful for having such a great lawyer.

Horrible Man

I hired Greg to defend me against a gun charge, my husband left his gun on a trip and the police found it, Greg said no problem, I'll make it all go away!!! He never showed up to court, I was sitting there all day with my young daughter 7 times. He called the court clerk days before to reschedule and... never told me to be spiteful. I repeatedly asked for documents and he never gave them to me, kept saying "you don't need them" I told the judge and the judge gave me his copy!!! I ended up firing him and getting a good lawyer who promptly got the charges dismissed. He never filed a single motion even though he told me he was filing motion after motion. Repeatedly lied to me about the proceedings. He was NOT honest and truthful about anything related to the case. That god I called the clerks office to get the truth or I would have a warrant for my arrest for not showing up to court. He claims he doesn't correspond by emails so there is no way to get messages or documents to him in a hurry and the legal system is all about doing things the last minute. He shows up late every appearance they reschedules. Worst lawyer I ever hired.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Greg is a talented attorney who tactfully applies his knowledge of criminal law with his sharp wit. As echoed by a client's review, I have also seen Greg skillfully cross examine police officers and alleged victims during motion hearings and trials. He has an impressive ability to impeach witnesses which consistently results in victories for his clients."
