Best decision was hiring Tillman Braniff pllc.

I was shocked and frightened learn through an employment background check that I had 3 warrants for bond forfeiture from two misdemeanors and a felony four years ago. In a panic, I made the initial call to Tillman Braniff after 5 pm on a Friday afternoon. Lauren spent time listening and taking no...tes and looked up my situation and gave me a time on Monday when they would call back. When Brian Tillman called me back, he had researched and was knowledgeable of situation. He told me what he needed to learn with courts before he could determine the action to take and after he knew what they would have to do, then the fee was determined. At our first meeting, Brian was very specific of the service I should expect from them and what they expect of a client. During the entire process and in the court room on court dates, Brian and Rhett Braniff were attentive and always explained what was going on. I had excellent representation from Brian Tillman and Rhett Braniff. I also noticed the respect they received from their peers when we were in the courthouse. The result for me was dismissals across the board. I highly recommend them!

A trustworthy Lawyer

I have been in the medical field for a long time and I came into a situation where I made a mistake in public. I was charged with possession of paraphernalia. I contacted Mr. Tillman and several other lawyers on a list. Mr. Tillman was the only lawyer to contact me back about my situation. I have nev...er been in trouble and I felt I had a lot to lose. Yes, I shouldn't have participated in what I did, but Mr. Tillman helped give me advice so that I was prepared to go to my court date armed with information. During my hearing, I felt confident that I was tackeling my problem and starting fresh. I have payed my fees, and now dealing with my probation. Mr. TIllman, was knowlegable about the laws to give me the adivice I needed.
