Case Dismissed

As a concealed carry permit holder, I never hoped to be in a situation where I'd have to use my firearm against another person but a sudden and violent confrontation left me with no choice. I was attacked on my way to work and was forced to shoot the aggressor in act of self-defense. This ordeal left... me facing serious charges, including attempted murder and five other counts that carried the potential for a lengthy prison sentence. Thankfully, with Kirk Tarman and his team's expert handling, my case was dismissed and all charges were dropped. Throughout the entire process, they were reassuring, professional, and incredibly sharp. If you're facing serious legal troubles, I strongly recommend The Law Offices of Kirk Tarman & Associates. They're the real deal.

Got excellent results

I needed an attorney for my nephew who got into some trouble and Kirk was recommended to me and our entire family is ecstatic he was. Kirk gave us options, had unique insights and worked within our budget and got a remarkable outcome. My nephew was exonerated and Kirk was the reason! I cannot reco...mmend him enough, professional and prepared and exactly what we needed. Thank you Kirk

Fraud

I was represented by Tarman's firm when he and Attorney Bobby Shamulian had a partnership several years ago. I was promised no jail time after consultation. Come to find out during my case, Kirk and Bobby had separated and split and Bobby was the one who initially took my case. I assumed once Bob...by left, all the cases were dumped onto Kirk to represent. Kirk did not make me feel like he had my back. I spend $10k to retain their services and I felt like I would have been better off with a public defender since I felt more pressured to take the deal. At one court hearing, a lot of people were waiting in the lobby before they let people in the court room, and to my surprise, Kirk was representing %80 of the families there that day. He literally walked down one by one, as if we were in a line, to each of us saying hello and updates relevant to our individual cases. That demonstrated to me that he had more clients than he can handle, regardless if he had Associated Attorneys or not. They took my money and failed on his firms' promise to me that was discussed at my initial consultation.

Replied last February 13, 2025

It is unfortunate to receive this review, as my business partner and I went our separate ways six years ago. I take great pride in my 25 years of legal service and the reputation I have built. If we only handled your case once, it was most likely due to a dismissal. I do not recall a situation like yours, but if 80% of the families present on your court day were there because of me, that speaks volumes about the trust placed in my firm. I continue to receive referrals from families and even District Attorneys who trust me to represent their clients. As always, we take client feedback very seriously and are committed to providing the best defense possible. However, after reviewing our records, we do not have any record of working with you. Best of luck.

Kirk Tarman is an amazing attorney

Kirk Tarman is an amazing attorney. Mr. Tarman represented my husband in a very ugly criminal matter. His expertise as well as his tenacity worked in my husbands favor. I will be forever grateful to Mr. Tarman. I

Kirk Tarman is the best option around!

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Kirk Tarman whom represented me for the last couple of years. Kirk went above and beyond to fight my case and all of his hard work ultimately got my case dismissed! He is a great communicator, he will be straight forward with you from the get-go, and will explai...n all options throughout the process. I highly recommend having Mr. Tarman on your side and would hire him again in a heartbeat! 5 stars all the way!! Thank you Kirk Tarman and associates!!
