About Kimberly

I wrote the book on DWI defense in Texas. So, if you've been arrested, call me! 214-445-6336

Kimberly Griffin Tucker graduated top of her class from from the University of Texas, summa cum laude. She then attended Southern Methodist University’s School of Law, where she was honored at graduation with prestigious, Order of the Barristers.

After prosecuting in Grayson and Denton County and presiding as a municipal court judge, she opened her own law practice. Since 1999, Kimberly has successfully defended many cases, including numerous DWI trials.  She attributes her success to the many DWI training programs and classes she has attended.  

Kimberly's philosophy is simple - work hard for your clients and do all you can to help them get their lives back the way they were BEFORE being arrested.  This mindset is why she is so successful and has so many satisfied clients.

If you need a great DWI/DUI or criminal defense attorney, don't delay. Call her right now.

Review Kimberly Tucker

Excellent Attorney

Posted by

I recently had an occasion to hire a defense attorney for the first time in my life and after several google searches and initial consultations with quite a few attorneys, I was fortunate enough to find Kimberly Tucker! She walked me through the process, presented my options, was honest with me about my specific situation and was VERY PATIENT with me and the copious amount of emails I sent with yet more questions. She was the one that responded and not someone else in her office, which I found to be extremely comforting. She managed to put my mind at ease. While I don't plan to need a defense attorney again, if I did, I would certainly go straight to Kimberly. If any friends or family needed some help, I would definitely refer to them and her office.

AMAZING ATTORNEY & "PIECE OF MIND"!

Posted by

When a loved family member finds themselves in an unfortunate position as a result of a "one time" mistake in poor judgment its a very stressful and uneasy feeling and you do not know where to turn for Legal assistance. We were BEYOND blessed to have found Kimberly! Not only did she answer my first call (wow!), but she scheduled us in immediately, calmed us down and addressed our situation, and walked thoroughly through the next steps and how she would be there by our side (literially!) Step by step. At the end she was 100% correct on everything, and we even ended up with better results at the end of the legal process. Life got back to normal and it is all thanks to Kimberly! Trust me when I say this - look to no other Attorney to handle your DUI legal case. She is truly "on your side"!

Kimberly is a smart, hard working lawyer. You can trust her to do her very best on your case.

Efrain Sain, Criminal defense Attorney on Sep 22, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Kimberly was the criminal defense attorney at the first firm for which I worked over 15 years ago. Watching her go to battle helped influence me to leap into the criminal defense arena. 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.

Sheadyn Rogers, Personal injury Attorney on Aug 27, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. Kimberly has demonstrated excellent legal knowledge and experience in the area of criminal law. I highly recommend her to potential clients.

Lawrence Boyd, DUI and DWI Attorney on Dec 29, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

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.

Deandra Grant, DUI and DWI Attorney on Dec 28, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Kimberly is a tireless warrior for her clients. We have worked on several cases together and she is constantly working to be the best. You would be in good hands with Kimberly as your attorney.

Ryan Sims, Criminal defense Attorney on Dec 13, 2011

Kimberly is an excellent attorney...a true "go to" in DWI/DUI defense. She cares deeply for her clients and those in need. I am proud to call her a colleague.

John Gioffredi, DUI and DWI Attorney on Dec 6, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Ms. Griffin-Tucker fights and wins DWI cases in a very tough county (Denton) to do so. She is a fearless litigator, one of the best in the business.

Nathaniel Miller, DUI and DWI Attorney on Aug 30, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer without hesitation. Kimberly is one of the most effective and knowledgeable attorneys in our local criminal defense community.

Holly Fox, General practice Attorney on May 13, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. Kimberly Griffin Tuckerexemplifies the tradition of protecting the constitutional rights of accused citizens in criminal matters. I have known her for a number of years and have found her to possess an outstanding knowledge of criminal law and procedure. Her courtroom demeanor, advocacy skills and passion for protecting the rights of the accused are evident in every case in which I have seen her involved. I have also found her to be extremely courteous and professional in all matters that she undertakes. It is without hesitation that I highly recommend Kimberly Griffin Tucker.

Stephen Kuzmich, Personal injury Attorney on Feb 17, 2011

I endorse this lawyer. She would be the first call that I would make if I needed a criminal defense attorney. Will go the extra mile and do everything possible to get the best result for the client.
