James S Tinker

I utilized Mr. Tinker's expertise for 2 separate cases, both of which turned out positively for myself and my family. There was clear communication from him on what to expect, anticipated timelines, frequent updates, and he made himself available whenever I needed clarification or had questions. Both... were criminal cases with possible jail time and/or excessive fines if found guilty..... however with Mr. Tinkers abundance of knowledge and professionalism coupled with his impressive network of peers and contacts - both cases were reduced to the minimum. There were clear expectations set by him at the beginning of our engagements regarding what I was up against, with worst case scenarios and best case scenarios laid out. He made sure I felt at ease with legal strategies deployed which were mutually agreed upon at all times, and always kept my spouse and I in the loop with any updates, concerns, or changes. I would highly recommend this individual to anybody curious about hiring a quality attorney, he’s got my vote 100% of the time.

I received James Tinker's information through a friend of a friend, both of whom are lawyers. I was potentially facing a serious misdemeanor up to a felony charge for a crime numerous years ago. He offered me extensive free advice despite being extremely busy at the time. He also reached out to other... lawyers to receive even more information about my case. After doing all of this for me, he then explained that it would be possible for me to represent myself at this point and provided me detailed instructions on what to say to the investigator. I opted to hire him instead as these charges would have very serious effects on my future at this point in my life and I did not want to risk saying the wrong thing. I called NUMEROUS other attorneys from AVVO and google. He charged me an honest rate where many other lawyers were basically trying to rip me off. For the amount he charged, I feel that I received around 1-2 hours more of his time. After hiring him, he developed a plan for our meeting with the investigator. I agreed with him on our options and we met with the investigator. I cannot stress this enough, he is a PRO. I basically said nothing except what he instructed me to say. The investigator tried to step across the line with a question and James immediately shut it down in a very polite manor. He developed a positive relationship with the investigator in our meeting and, I believe, this ultimately lead to no charges being filed. TL;DR James Tinker is professional, honest and hard working. Do not throw money away on a different criminal defense attorney. If he will take your case, HIRE HIM IMMEDIATELY.

When I got a DUI recently, James helped me through the process by explaining the whole thing and making an excellent visual for the difference between the court and MVD consequences, as well as representing me well in court. He took most of the stress off me and made the whole thing as simple as po...ssible. He's also reasonably priced and well worth the money; I would recommend him to anyone!

Me Tinker fully informed me of the entire process and had me totally prepared. His knowledge of the law is beyond compare. He also has developed relationships with the prosecutoring attorneys and judges from his years of experience. Mr Tinker got my charges reduced from the DUI charges to Redkless D...riving which in my case was a huge difference.
