Attorney Kirk Tarman started his criminal defense practice in 1994. He utilizes a “hands-on” approach to the law and does thorough investigative research into the events leading up to your arrest.

There is no “one size fits all” defense against criminal or DUI charges. Kirk approaches each case with unique tactics and uses his diverse background to find satisfying and effective resolutions that will specifically fit the needs of each case. He views each client as a valuable individual and not as just another case number. Kirk has a multi-faceted approach and can use his experience and knowledge to find solutions to tough problems. Kirk is intimately familiar with criminal law and the legal procedures which gives him profound insight as to the best plan of action he should take with his defense.
You and Kirk will make every decision together and every decision will be the right one for you. Not many attorneys can truly say that they will protect the best interests of their clients, but Kirk strives for client satisfaction and productivity.
