A Brilliant Attorney

I have worked with Brian on several successfully litigated IP matters. The mark of a great lawyer is their attention to detail, subject matter knowledge, and communication skills. Brian excels in all of those aspects. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a great attorney and litigator.

Major commercial litigation

Brian and his partners represented me and my firm in two multi-million dollar complex commercial litigation cases. Brian was extremely hardworking and able to leverage outside resources creatively to manage cost for a very attractive ROI. Brian is intelligent, and knows what knows and what not and br...ing in resources as needed. He was also proactive in several legal matters that would have escaped my attention and saved my from a lot of cost and trouble. He's also a really nice guy

Entertainment Attorney

Mr. Tinkham was extremely helpful in my workplace settlement. Not only was he able to get me my appropriate severance, he was also able to get me my 2 film projects back that were brought in by me to begin with. Mr. Tinkham handled the issues speedily and effectively. I can not thank him enough.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
