Dont hesitate

Mr. Tobin was outstanding. He could tell I was extremely scared and nervous about the situation I was in, but assured me that it would all be ok. He helped me understand all aspects of my case and was both communicative and responsive. He specifically knows the Tempe courts well and this definitely h...elped in my favor. He helped me be proactive in resolving my case and went above and beyond to make sure I stayed compliant with the courts and MVD. Mr. Tobin is also affordable and offers payment plans. Don't hesitate to hire!

Professional & Communicative

Hiring Mr. Tobin was the best decision I made. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. He helped me understand all aspects of the case while being compassionate and graceful. He was very communicative and responsive. The judge stated that Mr. Tobin was a professional and organized attorney, which... was my experience. I definitely recommend utilizing Mr. Tobin’s services!

Thank You, Tim Tobin!

I heartily recommend Tim. From my first contact to my only court appearance, he was thorough and professional. He promptly answered my many questions, explained the laws relating to this misdemeanor, and met with the prosecutor several times. He negotiated a very good plea agreement and led me throug...h the appearance before the judge. Whenever I panicked during this months-long process, he was a calm and steady guide. I believe I made an excellent choice in choosing Tim to defend me during this most difficult time.

Excellent Representation

If you are (unfortunately) in the market for a criminal defense lawyer, Tim can not be recommended highly enough. Tim was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. He was also kind and compassionate throughout a highly stressful time, and took the time (even on weekends and Christmas day), to en...sure that everything was clear for me - ending in the most optimal outcome for me. Once again, if you find yourself in need of defense, Tim is a beyond solid choice.

Honest/ Efficient/ Reliable

I am writing this review recognizing Mr. Tim Tobin at Tobin Law firm with great gratitude to let everyone who is seeking help with legal representation with my experience I highly recommend Tobin Law Firm. Mr. Tobin has knowledge, Empathy, Respect, Compassion, Reliable, Honest and he will go above ...and beyond to make sure that he has fulfilled his representation to help to resolve the matter. He has great work ethics. When I was looking for legal representation I spoke to many lawyers who wanted me to pay consultation fees even to speak to them and some would immediately say things to make you unnecessarily fearful to take your money and get you into more trouble. With grace of god my wife came upon Mr. Tim who immediately gave me a time to meet with him first to evaluate the case. ” With no charge or no obligation”. When I met with him, we discussed the severity of the matter and the good and the bad with details. He was very informative and even had a copy for me to read leisurely. We discussed the price and I was ready to hire him but that is what mostly impressed me he didn’t want to take my money without me and my wife reading through the materials and understanding the consequences. He did explain to us all the possible outcomes. Also, he gave me the option to pay installments and if I did not like his representation that I could always go with another lawyer. After discussing with my wife, we had peace and faith in Mr. Tim, We decided in a heartbeat that we will choose him. From there onwards he was fighting for me as he said he would. He kept me informed every step of the way following with client portal where I can easily access the documents. He would call me a day before very court date to make sure and remind me the court dates following with the calendar reminder. He did not leave any information behind made sure everything is transparent of his actions. He is attorney in profession but truly and angel in disguise. I can go on an on of his professionalism. Because of his committed hard work for me as a client today I got my stressful problem resolved and writing this long review to let anyone out there we don’t always run in to legal issues like we take out from fast food But if you run in to a legal issue Take my word of advise just call once number 480-447-4837 to Mr. Tim Tobin at Tobin Law firm.

Keeping you up to date and informed on every aspect of your case is just part of that! I’m so proud that I could help, and I hope you’re doing well! Thanks again!
