Satisfied client

Mr. Tarpley and his office handled my case with the utmost professionalism and helped me settle my dispute with positive results. He achieved the most desirable outcome with my case. And helped walk me through this difficult process very easily. He and his assistant are very professional and familiar... with the local court process and personnel. AMAZING JOB!!! Love this guy. I contacted him, and his office helped me through this difficult time. No worries if Mr. Tarpley is on the case.

Outstanding lawyer and service

Edward helped me with my case by getting my sentences reduced and fines lowered down too. Knows Grant and Rapides parish judges and works to get the best results you could ever wish and hope for. Thank you again.

Above and beyond

I got a felony charge just by being at a house when a fight broke out so I called around to find a lawyer and when I got in touch with Mr. Tarpley he immediately wanted to meet he knew we needed to get on this case as fast as possible to get it resolved! He got the warrant voided that was out for my ...arrest and kept me from having to bail out of jail. He was always thier if I had any questions or concerns. He was always available if I needed him no matter what time of the day or night! He got my charges reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor and continuing on to getting the charges completely dropped! He is a very dedicated man in his line of work and I would recommend him to anyone!! Thanks Mr. Tarpley!!

Edward L Tarpley Jr an honest and caring Attorney

When I had an accident at a retail establishment I needed help getting my medical bills paid. I talked to Attorney Edward Tarpley . He and his staff made me feel at ease the first time I went to his office. He is a very caring and honest attorney. He tells the truth about what he can do to help yo...u. He does not make promises he can not keep. He is a man of his word. If I ever need legal help again I would without hesitation seek his counsel.

The best choice I have made!!!

I knew from the minute I called Mr. Tarpley's office that I wanted him to represent me on my criminal charges. I had been so impressed by his secretary that it convinced me to speak with Mr. Tarpley. I met with him and just as Mrs. Barbara he won me over 100%. The most important thing i can say is h...e did that not with empty promises and telling me what i wanted to hear, but instead by being realistic, honest and by showing a genuine concern in helping me achieve the best possible outcome. My charges were no small task they had there work cut out for them and they exceeded any hopes or expectations i had by far. They are wonderful people and helped me legally and personally as well. I can't say enough great things about my experience. This also is not my first time hiring a criminal defense attorney.

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.
