Terrible experience. I wouldn’t recommend this attorney at all.

Horrible experience. Beware! I wouldn’t recommend this attorney to anyone! If you’re searching for an attorney you do not want this attorney. You will be sorry.

Ineffective assistance of counsel

Mr. Tarver represented in Somers Point Municipal Court back in 2018 involving my massage license. I had all the proof that the health Professor from Stockton was lying she couldn't answer questions on her own on the stand and had to be guided by the prosecutor and mr. Tarver . At one point in time th...e lady said I don't know it was so long ago and judge freed put his hand over the microphone leaned over to the court clerk and told her not to put that down and put down sure. Mr. Tarver colluded with a prosecutor and didn't call the owner who was listed as a witness where's the manager Samantha Penna who come in all the sudden recall. Mr. Tarver also refuse to call the health professor and her boyfriend out for using their cell phones during the massage which they had every right to do. If the boyfriend did it sit down in the courtroom and introduced himself I would have never known who was tell him the professor what to say during the massages. I would have won my case if it's Tarver did what I told him to do and play the police videos which he refused

Great!

He was the only lawyer out of dozens I have spoken with who was able to grasp the case I presented to him and he was patient and willing to help me!

Outstanding Attorney!!!

Mr. Tarver is by far the best attorney I have ever worked with! He is very well versed in the Law. Not only is he an outstanding Attorney, he is also an amazing and caring person to work with. I had the opportunity to see him work on two cases one for myself and another for someone else in my family.... In both, Mr. Tarver went above and beyond and won both cases through his tenacity and diligence, and unwillingness to give up! Honestly, anyone who chooses him is in great hands!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
