About Kirk
Biography
Attorney Kirk Tarman started his criminal defense practice in 1999. He utilizes a “hands-on” approach to the law and does thorough research into the events leading up to your arrest. Kirk will also make sure key witnesses are interviewed and gather the necessary evidence to support your case. He will make tactical and strategic decisions early on that will have vast beneficial results to your case.
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. He will work tirelessly and do everything in his power to attain the best possible outcome for your case. With a hard-hitting attorney like Kirk by your side, you will greatly increase your chances of success in your case.
