Greg is better than a GREAT lwayer especially if you have an OUI. The guys a miracle worker.

So I got charged with a 2nd OUI along with about 7 drug charges in Attleboro court. I thought I was screwed to say the least. All they wanted to give me for a plea was exactly what I would of got if I was convicted so I had no idea what I was gonna do. From the first meeting I had with Greg he wanted... to fight it all the way, take it to trial was what he always said. I got charged in December 2014. 2 years and a month ago and this whole time (Whoops forgot to mention it was over yesterday 1/26/2017) he was trying slowly and i dont mean slow like he didnt care about the case. I mean slowly to get evidence surpressed and get the 911 tapes that he never got in discovery. This guy basically went over every piece of evidence the Prosecutor had against me and made sure everything was done by the book. He filed a motion to have drugs found on me as evidence surpressed all because the rookie cop had no rights or suspicions to search me. Basically what im trying to stay by giving you a little bit of insight into my case is that hes a great lawyer that will go to any lengths to try and help you out. Hes not like other lawyers, you know the ones the Public Pretender oops i mean Defender haha that doesnt even know your name. Hes a great lawyer and person he wont talk to you like a crook like some people would. The moral of what I am saying is while he worked the case and we just kept drawing it out as long as we can my case got dismissed yesterday before a trial. The ONLY reason i had that outcome is because of the outstanding work he did on this case. I will 100% with no doubt recommend him to anyone that asks me if i know a good lawyer. If I ever get in trouble again (Hopefully I Dont) but if I do I will without a doubt hire greg as my lawyer. BTW if you get assigned him as a lawyer HE IS NOT A PUBLIC PRETENDER he is actually a really good lawyer that takes pro bono cases. Believe me I thought at first he was a Public Defender but he is farthest thing from it. Greg its Bart if you ever end up reading this review My dad actually did apogolize to you and said you were a great lawyer buddy hahahaha

Best lawyer for the job.

I hired Attorney Tinsworth to be my council in an Domestic A&B case. He was very professional, caring, worked hard on the case, took his time to review, research, and investigate the facts. He did everything possible to get me a not guilty result. His knowledge of the law and court room presence is s...econd to none. Attorney Tinsworth is very well respected in the court room and has the ability to expertly persuade the anyone. I would recommend him to anyone. I owe this man my life, he saved me from being wrongfully convicted. If it weren't for him I would be in jail.

Rating of Attorney Gregory F. Tinsworth

I was honest with him regarding my situation & through the Court found me "not guilty." If it wasn't for him I'd be in jail for a year, minimum for something I was innocent of. He's very confident & won't put up with his clients crap. He holds his clients accountable for the situation they're in &... does a profession & effective job in the courtroom.

Best man for the job!!!!

Gregory took my tuff OUI case and made a not guilty verdict look easy. His presence in the court room is overwhelming. He had the jury eating out of his hand. I would recommend him to anyone.

Posted by Emily | July 25, 2013 | Criminal Defense

He's the best around.

I hired Greg to represent me in an OUI (drunk driving). When I was first charged, I was really scared. I had never gotten a ticket before, nevermind gotten arrested. He was really great. He spent a lot of time with me and explained everything. It sometimes took him a day or two to call me back, ...but I think that's because he's super busy. One thing I noticed going to court - people seemed to know him - the people who worked there, the other lawyers, the prosecutors. He seemed to really know the ins and outs of the place and the people there. We won at trial. I'd hire him again in a heart beat. He was worth every penny.

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."
