Power House Attorney

There’s really not enough words to say or explain how excellent Tanner did with the case I retained him for. He came through like a thief in the night and stole all the worries and stress away!! When there was no hope, he made a way and I can’t thank you Tanner! I pray nothing but blessings to you in... everything you do!

Great Attorney!

After my previous attorney refused to get back in touch with me. I reached out to Tanner on getting a suspension on my license dropped. Him and his team replied in a timely manner and explained all the steps and what to expect. He was in contact with me every step of the way and successfully got my s...uspension dropped! Could not have been happier with the results and wish I had found him sooner.

An amazing lawyer!

I hired Tanner to help me with my first and only case. He did a terrific job, He explained every detail and made everything easy to understand, He makes sure you know all the steps and actions to take, Very communicative, He is extremely knowledgeable in his profession, great pricing, he was calm, g...reat composure, and extremely kind, he knows how to make light of a dark situation (especially when needed). Most importantly He knows how to get the job done! I hear a lot that lawyers deliver promises and their actions speak differently. Not Tanner though, he cuts straight to the point and stays in tune with reality. Thanks a lot Tanner! 100% recommend to anyone in a bad situation and in need of the best lawyer they can get!

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.
