James Edward Tyner

I was arrested for a 3 day shoplifting spree and was truly terrified about what I had done and the consequences I was going to have to face after being charged with 3 counts of petit larceny. After frantically searching for an attorney I came upon Mr. James Tyner and as soon as I spoke with him on th...e phone, he insisted I call him Jim, I was immediately put more at ease. When I came in for a consultation he listened patiently to my long winded, tearful account of what had happened, and was upfront about all of the possible outcomes, but was confident that this was a very fixable problem. He talked me down from the ledge of thinking that I had just irreparably destroyed my life (I had never done anything like this before ever) and calmly and reassuringly explained that this was going to be okay. Within a couple weeks the case ended very favorably with no permanent scar on my record. He was always available to answer any questions I had, and I asked a lot of questions, and I truly appreciated his expertise in his field and his exceptional communication skills. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing an excellent defense attorney.

I was arrested for shoplifting at WalMart and it was a misunderstanding. Store security and the police would not let me explain what happened and arrested me. It was my first time ever being in that situation. I called a few lawyers and after speaking and meeting with Jim for a consultation, I was no...t nearly as scared. He made me feel comfortable and listened to my explanation of what happened when no one else would. He was confident that this would end favorably for me, and that made me rest easy. He appeared at the Court with me, and after a couple appearances, my case was finished. I do not have a criminal record, and I hope that I never find myself in that position again. I'm incredibly grateful for Jim's personal attention to my case and the responsiveness of him and his staff. I was never left in the dark and my calls and questions were answered immediately.

Failure to adequately represent! His website states he will aggressively defend, I wound up with a poodle not a pit bull. Gave him $7500 and six weeks later he was asking for another $5000. He made a cpl phone calls and made one trip to court. At the end of 7 weeks I still had no information and h...ad nothing I was entitled to or was supposed to get from the arresting agency. He will bill you for leaving a voicemail and for looking up information that I previously gave him. He will give you a free consultation then after he is hired he will bill you for talking to you! I had to fire him and hire another attorney who was competent. I would not recommend him or his services to anyone who is looking for serious representation.
