Best Choice

My husband was faced with a felony Aggravated Battery w a Deadly Weapon and the State included some misdemeanors to strengthen their case. He was facing prison, or at the least, years of felony probation offered by the State. This was a life-changing event. From our first conversation, I decided to ...hire Mr. Tinsley. That proved to be the best decision we made. It was a scary journey, and his defense team was always available to answer calls, texts, and questions. We were never in the dark about our case or what was going on. The Defense Team's assistant, Janette, was wonderful, professional and always made me feel like we were VIP clients, but I know she makes that time for all clients. Mr Tinsley aggressively defended my husband every step of the way. He knew exactly how to take apart the States case, and eventually, got all charges dismissed. We will be forever grateful. If you're reading this, you're debating on hiring this Defense Team, don't hesitate, it will be the best decision you make.

Awesome attorney and secretary

I dealt with attorney Tinsley because I got into an incident in Florida back in April. Mr. Tinsley is a great attorney, he kept the lines of communication open and his secretary is awesome as well. If I ever have an issue in the state of Florida I will contact mr. Tinsley office. He was affordable, k...nowledgeable. Friendly and very understanding. I had 2 consults with mr Tinsley and both times he informed me of what could happen and did not hide anything from me and because of all this I truly appreciate him and his staff. The better news is the day after hiring Mr. Tinsley my charge was dropped and all I could do was say thank you Lord.

First of I have to say.. He's amazing when I got in trouble I was an emotional wreck. I called ten different attorneys and I meant with all ten of them. Mr Steven Tinsley was the one I went for I liked the fact he didn't sugar coat anything and he told me exactly how my case would turn and yes my cha...rges got dropped which could of affected my entire life (felony) thank you so much for everything your a wonderful attorney and thank you because of you I now have a second chance. I'm back to where I was I have my job back and my family are no longer mad at the situation I got myself into. Thank you and God bless you and your wonderful staff

Best Attorney You Can Get!

Mr. Tinsley helped my daughter who was arrested while we were on vacation in Florida. He met with us and gave us great advice. He also referred us to a bail bonds who helped us when no one else would because we were visitors and did not live in the state! He does what he says he will and I could tell... that he really cared about his clients!
