Excellent service

George is an amazing law attorney to work with. He explained everything to me about the case (from the procedure to what to expect) right from the start of our very first meeting. He did so in a way that I could understand and was very prompt and clear with communication the entire time. Aside from t...he fact that the case ended in our favour, Tennant is a very competent and knowledgeable lawyer to have on your team.'

Willing to fight to the bitter end

My case was very unique and convoluted. I came to Mr Tennant to represent me in a case where I had already been convicted but was finishing straight probation given to me by the jury. Towards the very end of my probation there was a chance of the probation being wrongfully revoked. I sought legal adv...ice from numerous attorneys who saw no way out of this legal situation. I was refered to George and although he didn’t immediately see a way out, he was diligent. He was thorough and saw the error in the way that I was wronged. He also was empathetic to the plight of my inadequate original representation. He fought for them to let me go and they did. When everyone else could see the light at the end of the tunnel he led the way.

Great Attorney to hire when you are in a "crunch" and need legal support quickly!

Attorney Tennant accepted our case within a few hours of our hearing. He drove over 1 hour to court and made an early am court appearance to represent us. The case outcome was favorable because of Attorney Tennant's professionalism and legal acumen. His pricing is fair and he has great "people skills...." We recommend him without hesitation.
