DUI

I got a dui, i had a lot of anxiety about whether i was going to jail, couldn't sleep for 2 weeks, was on the internet and came across Miss Tuckers web site, After doing my research on her and her law firm, found that she had co-authored a book on dui's, i set up an appointment. After our first meeti...ng, i felt a good amount of relief. i was overwhelmed with what she was able to negotiate with the prosecuting attorney and judge, I would recommend Miss Tucker and her law firm to anyone in need of a great lawyer, and i have to mention, her assistant dylan, was always available if Miss Tucker wasn't available, Great Job

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.

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.

Percipient, Persistent, Professional

One needn't consult a thesaurus to determine Kimberly Tucker's proficiency in handling your case: just hire her. After being arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated in Dallas County, I consulted with Kimberly and promptly retained her services. Not only was she intimately familiar with the... suburban police department where I was initially detained, she was equally familiar with and wholly sympathetic to my ensuing two-year travail through the (insert your favorite insult) Dallas County Court system. During that time, 2018 - 2021, Kimberly took extraordinarily detailed notes on my initial consultation statements; cross-referenced those statements against the arresting officer's body camera footage - finding a number of discrepancies which would have benefitted me had the case gone to trial**; followed my blood sample "discovery" as it came back negative for over-the-legal-limit and went back to the lab for illicit substance testing; and made bi-weekly inquiries on my case, which seemingly disappeared, reappeared, and then disappeared again. Approaching two-years with still no formal filing of my case by Dallas County, I grew anxious. Kimberly advised me to "do nothing". However, once the two-year statute of limitations passed, we moved to expunge the case promptly - and expunge it we did! ** I would not have hesitated to hire Kimberly to represent me in trial.

Mrs. Tucker has been an overall wonderful attorney. She has been extremely helpful and informative. She is very responsive with emails and phone calls. As well as being very organized. I would most definitely recommend her to anyone that may have gone through the same situation as me. It definitely ...has been a rough ride, but Mrs. Tucker has made it much smoother.

She knows her stuff and can destroy a police officer's testimony. She is brilliant, funny, and fearless. A criminal defendant cannot get a better advocate than Kimberly Tucker."

"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."
