Posted by Ross | March 26, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Attorney Kimberly Griffin Tucker and the case she took care of for me.

I would like to begin by stating that I did not want to hire an attorney initially in my case because I had the opinion that I couldn't trust them at all and that all they wanted was to take my money. As a result I was putting off hiring an attorney in the hopes that I would be appointed one by the c...ourts, however, the courts eventually forced me to represent myself and the district attorney offered me 120 days in jail. I was shocked to say the least. I had just been promoted to supervisor at my job and had a baby on the way. I simply could not do four months in jail and keep my job as well. So I was a little scared and extremely nervous. This is when I made the call to Kimberly Griffin Tucker's office for a consultation immediately. Kimberly was very friendly on the phone as well as in person when I met with her in her office. Kimberly explained to me what she was able to do in my case and did not mislead me at all. She was straight forward and professional. So I agreed that I would hire her and she would be on my case. She was able to set off my court date one last time and began negotiations with the district attorney some time after that. Meanwhile I was a nervous wreck. Kimberly did everything to assure me that she would do whatever she could in her power to represent me to the best of her abilities. To be honest I had this thought in my head that I just wasted my money and that she would be unable to help me. Kimberly changed my mind about that the next time she had news for me though. The district attorney had agreed to dismiss my case provided I showed proof of restitution for damages to the door ( criminal mischief for damaging a door was my charge) and complete one anger management course. I was once again shocked but his time for good reasons instead of bad. If it had not been for Kimberly and her kind words and professionalism I don't know what I would have done. This lady is one of the nicest people I have ever had the opportunity to meet and she did a stellar job in representing me in court. I have nothing but the highest marks with regards to her abilities as an attorney. I highly recommend Kimberly Griffin Tucker to anyone who finds themselves in a jam with the law and if I had to do it all over again or ever have to hire an attorney again I will look no further than her, for I know she will get the job done. I am happy to say that my case was dismissed in court and I couldn't be happier with Kimberly and her performance. Great job KGT. Keep up the good work.

LOOK NO FURTHER

Kimberly Tucker is your first choice if you are in need of a great DWI lawyer. From the moment I contacted her distraught from the arrest, she was kind, understanding and incredibly knowledgeable. She made an appointment with me the very next day and made me feel like I was going to live through this... terrible nightmare I created for myself. Her fees are very reasonable. She is incredibly responsive and prompt. Very detail oriented and will explain everything to you, provide you with all the tools you need to make the best of your situation. She is highly regarded in the community. When I went before the judge, he even told me I had one of the best lawyers in the field. That’s very comforting when you are not certain of your fate. She has taken this journey with me every step of the way and I will forever be grateful to have found her.

Professional, experienced guide and attorney

Kimberly was quick to respond to my request for info, and she was clear, concise, and helpful during our consultation. She ran me through the entire process I was embarking on and was eager to answer the "what if" questions I had for her. She kept communication open and was quick to respond to emails... and calls. She put together the right plan of action based on the circumstances of my DUI, and I'm confident that we reached the most successful outcome possible. I have a friend who'd hired a DUI lawyer for half the price of Kimberly, so initially, I was afraid I'd overpaid. In the end, Kimberly's expertise, experience, and guidance ended up SAVING me money. As they say, if you think it's expensive to hire a professional, try hiring an amateur.

Excellent DWI Attorney

I got my first (and hopefully last) DWI last year, and was feeling absolutely overwhelmed. I met with several lawyers in Denton County, but their "consultations" came off more like sales pitches. Kimberly Tucker was different. She was straight with me, laying out my options and letting me know the pr...os and cons of accepting a plea or going to trial. Kimberly's knowledge and expertise is amazing. She *literally* wrote the book on DWIs in Denton County. Even the judge at my ODL hearing told me, "You've hired one of the best attorneys around. Make sure you take advantage and take her advice." Kimberly was always responsive, always available, and always kept me in the loop so I knew what my next steps should be. I hope I never need her services again. But should any of my family or friends make a poor life decision, I'll certainly point them her way.

Excellent Lawyer!

Mrs. Tucker had a citation of mine dismissed with ease. She communicated quickly, efficiently, and constantly kept me in the loop of what was happening with my case.. I would recommend her to anyone with legal troubles.

"Kimberly is one of the very few lawyers who knows how to make the proper usage of an ALR hearing in a client's DWI matter to both win the ALR hearing and obtain a winning edge in the DWI case. She always thoroughly prepares for each hearing and uses every procedural advantage. We have asked Kimberly to speak at an upcoming DWI seminar so that others will follow her fine example."
