Insurance Claim - Exceptional Attorney

Our Corporation asked Mr. Tucker to provide guidance on a complex insurance claim and for direct legal representation if it were to become necessary. Over the 2+ years that it took to resolve the case, Mr. Tucker did an outstanding job of alerting us to issues and guiding our actions. He made every... effort to help us stay out of litigation. At the same time, he directed us to prepare a solid database as if we were going to go to trial. When the insurance company chose to involve their attorney, Mr. Tucker represented us. He provided excellent, knowledgeable counsel, which, with the solid database that had been established, led to a positive outcome. Mr. Tucker is very easy to work with. He listens, responds appropriately to issues, is knowledgeable, checks with outside sources as needed, and can be quite aggressive if the situation calls for it. We are exceptionally pleased with the support and legal representation provided by Mr. Tucker and highly recommend him.

L & I Citation Case

Mr. Tucker always remained up front and honest about the details and possibilities relative to the case. He did a great job of keeping our firm informed and consistently performed professionally in his duties. He was thorough in considering potential issues that could have presented themselves as a... result of decisions made during the case process. If the necessity arises, I would surely look to hire Mr. Tucker to represent our firm.

Highly Recommended

Mr. Tucker guided our organization through a very difficult and challenging situation. Throughout the experience he brought a strong knowledge base and clear, level-headed thinking regardless of the circumstances. He was very responsive and provided frequent updates during a highly stressful situat...ion. I truly appreciate his honesty and candor which enabled us to make confident decisions and helped us to navigate the unfamiliar legal environment. I would highly recommend Mr. Tucker.

Exceptional Expertise and Professionalism

Our organization significantly benefited from Mr. Tucker's legal expertise. He provided instant evaluations and candid assessments of our firm's situation, explaining end-to-end strengths and weaknesses. Mr. Tucker's understanding of outside counsel's bench strengths, experiences and credentials pr...ovided in-depth comprehension of each entity's position. His research and sharing for best practices informed our company of statistical outcomes and verdicts. He valued our concerns and inquiries to the case at hand with confidence.

Exceptional Attorney!

Mr. Tucker handled a case for our Corporation that had caused us a great amount of stress and aggravation for over a year. He resolved the issues in a professional and practical manner. He provided excellent counsel as well as a positive outcome. We found him to be honest, knowledgeable and prompt. H...e did an excellent job of researching the issue regarding our case and had a clear understanding of all the facts. He is certainly not afraid of hard work or taking on a difficult case. Mr. Tucker has a common sense approach and is ready to go up to bat for his client when confronted with tough opposing counsel. We have required legal counsel on numerous occasions over the course of fourteen years in business and truly felt discouraged until we found Mr. Tucker. Our past attorneys had always given us false hope and procrastinated until it was too late! This certainly was NOT the case with Mr. Tucker; he was professionally aggressive and got the job done! We are sincerely grateful for Mr. Tucker and without a doubt feel that he is second to NONE!

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.
