Robbed Blind!!

Awful awful attorney. I hired him to represent me in a divorce. His fees were very expensive but he told me he was very experienced and board certified in family law. His office is a dump in a really bad part of Garland, should have been my first clue he was a loser but I was so emotional. I trusted ...him and he robbed me blind. Never prepared for court, couldn’t talk to him before 3pm because he was so hungover. Just a sloppy drunk who has no business practicing law.

Divorce attorney

For the love of God DONT hire Steve Tinsley. Plain and simple he is an alcoholic. He had no business practicing law. His beard, Terri, his wife and legal assistant is a bi—ch. she covers for him when he is too drunk or passed out.

Family attorney

I hired Mr. Tinsley to represent me in a divorce . He kept telling me he was board certified in family law and an expert in family law. His retainer fee was pretty high but I paid it b/c he convinced me could get me what I wanted. After I payed him the money it was a total different game. He would no...t return my phone calls, wasn't prepared when we went to court, a terrible nightmare!!!! I soon learned that he never comes to his office before 2:00, apparently too hung over from the night before. I got taken advantage of and lost everything. Stay away from this atty!!!! He is a mess.

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.
