Experience, Tenacity, Straightforward- impeccable!

I highly recommend Ms. Griffin Tucker as an advocate in your legal matters. She is extremely experienced, knowledgeable, tenacious, professional and most appropriately “straightforward.” She is frank with clients to let them know both the pros and cons of various approaches in mitigating your legal ...circumstances. Her reputation in Collin, Dallas, and Denton counties is impeccable.

Outstanding Service, very Professional and cares about you!

I had a DUI in Denton country. It was very stressful and I knew I need a very good attorney to support me to get through this. After going through so many hours of research online, my search ended with hiring Kimberly. I am very glad she accepted my case. She was honest with me from the beginning... and explained me the possibilities of the case, made me understand the law, what the next steps are and is very professional in communication. What I really liked about the service is -> Her strategical advice at many points, given the complexity of my case is really good. -> Communication was prompt via email at every step, including for her own vacation time upfront. -> Her patience in answering questions, genuine advice and care for the client. -> Her explanation of what will happen next and what the plan is. -> Exceptional service, going above and beyond There were many instances where the service was above and beyond, ex: I had issues with my interlock device for a short time and she cared enough to help by letting her IID contact know about the issue. Also, at the end, she got my interlock device removal granted, but I did not got the removal papers on the court date by mistake. She and her team followed up personally and got the papers to me from the court the very next day!! She cares about her clients enough and I felt no different and I am really very pleased with her service. I had attorneys for other things in my past such as immigration matters and others, and from my own little experience I can say that she is definitely in her own league, at the very top. I wish my other attorneys could at least be half good as her. I could not be more happy with the outcome we got last week. I cannot thank her enough and I would highly recommend her services. I am usually not the reviewing type, but I felt the need to do something in return for her awesome service and the person she is. I am able to write this review in peace because of her. I do wish her all the best for her future.

Everyone Makes Mistakes

In Oct 2018, I made a terrible mistake and was arrested for a DUI. Not knowing a thing about what I was facing and just thankful no one was hurt from my actions, I started my long journey on finding a lawyer and navigating thru the waters I was very unfamiliar with. Enter KG. After some re...search, I went with KG and it was the best decision I could make. First and foremost she just eased my anxiety. Told me it was going to be OK. That I would not lose my corporate job; I would not go to jail; that I am not bad person...all the things that I was worried about. She explained all the options, and was with me each and every step of the way; always keeping my sanity and well being in mind first...everything else was second. Fast forward to almost 3yrs later. I completed probation, I have my life back. She not only gave me a good lesson in the law, but also a great lesson in life. If you made a mistake. If you feel your life is over...it's not. Contact KG. She knows how and she will make things better.

Review for mrs. Tucker. Dui

I was charged with dwi in Denton county. Mrs. Tucker did a fantastic job from start to finish. I was always informed of what was going to happen at each step. She got my license re-instated from a suspension. She filed all documents and kept me informed in a prompt manner. She is a true profe...ssional and knows the law especially in the counties she represents. My sentence and probation were reduced along with the fines through a plea. I am grateful for Mrs. Tucker and would highly recommend her services.

KGT Law is the route to go!!

When you find yourself in trouble, it can be a stressful situation. I was hit with a PI charge while on probation with a DWI first offense. Let me say that I wish I hired Kimberly for my first case. My first lawyer drained me of money, issued scare tactics to make me pay more money, and just made the... situation worse than what it was. I was lucky to be on probation until I messed up again by consuming alcohol. I learned about Kimberly through a probation officer and the hardest thing to do is trust someone with your freedom. Kimberly was honest with me. In one particular conversation, I was in tears when she told me the truth. Alcohol was an issue that was overpowering me. Nobody has ever been that honest with me. We worked together in order to get my warrant withdrawn and my probation reinstated. The odds where against us but Kimberly was determined to see me through this hard time and she did just that. I am now sober, and attending outpatient rehab and it’s made my life so much better. Had I not chosen KGT Law I would’ve broken another law. Her prices are affordable and there are no hidden fees. She’s up front and honest. If your unsure of where to go, choose KGT Law! You won’t be disappointed.

"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."
