This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very Helpful and Sound Advice

I had a free consultation with James Tienken. He was very helpful and kind. He was very timely in responding to my request for a consultation, during the time frame I requested. I agree with the last reviewer who stated he is knowledgable and efficient. In the short amount of time we spoke, he answ...ered many of my questions and provided me clear direction on how to proceed with regard to real estate properties and small business planning. I thought I would have to spend thousands of dollars for advice; however, Mr. Tienken saved me a great deal of time and money with his clear and sound guidance.

A Knowledgeable and Efficient Lawyer

I used James when purchasing my rental property. James was patient and very responsive and put together documents for me several times on short notice. He also made sure I was well informed to make educated decisions about my real estate transaction. I would definitely use James again.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Tienken represented two defendants in a complex, multi-party, catastrohic injury case in which I was lead counsel for plaintiffs. The case involved numerous depositions and extensive pre-trial proceedings. The case went to trial in January 2010. Mr. Tienken's representation of his clients was vigorous, thorough, meticulous, and ethical. His devotion to his clients was total and complete. His direct and cross-examinations were on point and very well-prepared. During the case I came to know Mr. Tienken to a degree, and found him to be humorous, thoughtful, and fair to work with despite the contentious context of the adversarial relationship. For corporate clients, insurers, and individuals looking for an excellent trial lawyer, potential clients should call Jim Tienken."

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
