Outstanding Attorney - Highly Recommend

My soon to be ex-wife dragged me into court on a trumped up TRO which had some very serious allegations against me. I was representing myself at one of the hearings and while waiting had the pleasure of watching Tim Miranda successively defending his client in the case ahead of mine. Realizing ...that I was in way over my head, I spoke with Tim after court and made an appointment. Following that, Tim came in as my attorney at the next hearing. At the conclusion of the hearing, the judge basically threw out my ex-wife and her attorney on their respective ears. Tim Miranda was extremely well prepared, provided outstanding trial representation and obtained a just result. I was a practicing trial lawyer for 14 years and know a fine attorney when I see one. If you have a legal problem: No question. Talk with Tim Miranda.

Tim Miranda, attorney at law in San Diego, got my RESTRAINING ORDER dismissed ...with only 2 days to prepare!

I found Tim online through a search on google for : "DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ATTORNEYS SAN DIEGO". I used to reside in California, but now reside in Arizona. I have had many, many legal problems with my ex, but when she called the police and filed a restraining order for...believe it or not...a text messa...ge argument, I thought I was screwed because I wasn't going to be able to make the court hearing on July 24th! I was in Arizona and the hearing was going to be in San Diego. I called Tim and right away...like 2 mins was immediately transferred to him and spoke directly with him. I told him I would be very brief so as not to take up too much time. He immediately told me to give him the full story of what happened and not worry about the time. This was on Monday afternoon July 22 and since the hearing was on July 24...it was extremely short notice. I also explained to Tim that I was not a Rockefeller or a Gates and was struggling financially. I felt his retainer ended up being fair although it was still tough for me to pay because of my financial situation. Tim told me he would do some research and then give me my options on the following day. He devised a strategy, but also did not sugar coat it. He gave me the what if scenarios in case things didn't go our way. I was glad to know the possibilities ...just in case. With hardly any notice or time to prepare, Tim showed up in court and....KICKED ASS! He got the restraining order dismissed and then gave me some good practical advice on how to deal with my ex: (lose her number and NO MORE contact!). Thanks Tim! If it hadn't been for you, and if i had ignored this hearing, there might be a warrant for my arrest, but happily, I am off the radar of the California courts. If I am ever harassed by my ex in the future, I know exactly who to contact: Mr. Timothy Miranda, EXPERT LAWYER!

My ex wanted everything and even tried to get a restraining order against me, But Tim was great and the allegations to obtain the restraining order got thrown out. The settlement was fair. Tim is good at what he does. He fought for me and I am so thankful.

Avvo Rating

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.
