James S Tinker

Through a series of unfortunate life events mixed with poor personal decisions, I found myself in need of an attorney. I was recommended James Tinker through a friend, and I could not have been more pleased with Mr. Tinker's work. From our first meeting, James showed compassion and empathy for my sit...uation. He clearly laid out our options and likely outcomes. He worked extremely hard to negotiate a fair outcome. I was in need of some additional assistance several months following my outcome, and James was there to help. He truly went above and beyond to help me get through a very difficult situation with professionalism and compassion. I would recommend James Tinker 10 out of 10 times. Do yourself a favor and hire this attorney.!! You will not be sorry.

A little over a year ago I was in an accident, totaled my car, rear-ended another driver and was arrested for an extreme DUI, (thank God, no one was injured.) Mr. Tinker came highly recommended to me by another well respected attorney in our city. He was available for a consultation with-in a few day...s. Of course I was ashamed, humiliated by my huge mistake, nervous and probably a bit “scattered.” However, Mr. Tinker was extremely kind, non-judgmental, patient, straightforward, knowledgeable, gracious and a gentleman. I knew immediately that I could trust him, and he would “go to bat” for me. He also went to court for me, a few times which I truly appreciate. I must say, that he went above and beyond guiding me through every stressful detail associated with an extreme DUI; directing me to alcohol screening classes, assisting with ADOT and DMV requirements, and even connected me to an insurance agent and a manager of a local car dealership. It was a long drawn out year, however, when we went to court he was successful in negotiating a plea agreement which was most agreeable. Should anyone find themselves, family or friends in such a predicament as mine, I would highly recommend Mr. Tinker. He is now my hero!

You need to understand that it is not in my nature to normally give gushing reviews, but I TRULY cannot say enough good things about James Tinker! My sister was in a traffic accident a little over a year ago, and it seemed that the other side had little interest in "playing fair." We couldn't even ...get them to return a phone call, even though we wanted to "do the right thing" and cover all of the gentleman's medical expenses! My sister was a wreck when the other party hired a lawyer who immediately began with threats, not even trying to have a reasonable conversation first. Here I was, across the country and wanting to help, crawling all over the internet and telephone, interviewing attorneys who might be able to help her. It was my great good fortune to come across a delightful attorney who explained that, while he did not handle these kind of cases, he would be happy to recommend one who could. James Tinker to the rescue! From start to finish, I was delighted to find in Mr. Tinker a man of honor and of thoughtfulness-- for our time and our finances and, perhaps even more rarely these days, for my sister's feelings and emotional well-being as well as her legal well-being. He was courteous and kind each time we spoke. He managed to convince opposing counsel to settle for a very reasonable sum that was more than fair (and without the nightmare of court appearances for my sister) and left us all heaving huge sighs of relief. He was thorough and honest and displayed an integrity that would make even Shakespeare reconsider his stance on lawyers. In short, I would give James Tinker even more stars if I could! And as I said when I began, I am not normally the sort to hand out glowing reviews. As my students could tell you, an A+ is pretty much a miracle from me... but James Tinker is, without a doubt, an A+ kind of guy! You will be fortunate and glad to hire him, I can assure you! A+ in every category!

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!
