Desmond B. Tuck

Desmond Tuck is who you want on your side. He helped me with a very complicated issue with many twists and turns. Mr. Tuck was always available when needed, was conscientious, thorough, and could write a response, suggestion, or letter incredibly fast when speed was required. He is an excellent ...attorney and knows what to do for his client’s best outcome. Desmond Tuck was highly recommended to me many years ago, and I highly recommend him to you.

In a day and age when qualified, ethical, experienced, fairly-priced, communicative attorneys are as rare as a Sumatran rhino, along comes Desmond Tuck. I have been working with Mr. Tuck for over 20 years on various issues, most notably matters involving real estate. Without delving into details, I c...an safely say that you will be unlikely to find anyone better if you tried. He knows the law, but he also knows how to make it work to your advantage. Most importantly, he will never tell you what you want to hear just so you hire him. If you want a lawyer to sugar-coat and tell you things to make you feel nice (when they are undeserved), he is not the one for you. If, on the other hand, you want to receive help that is based on reality and in the context of our disastrously dysfunctional California legal system, Mr. Tuck is the only one I would count on. Knowing how to navigate the system in a logical, rationale, and informed manner is one of his biggest (of many) strengths. As far as trust is concerned, I know that is a concern of many when it comes to lawyers in general. So, imagine a world where you were 100% sure your lawyer was expertly looking out for your best interest without doing it all just to keep the meter running. Sound too good to be true? You haven’t called Mr. Tuck yet. After all this time being his client, I trust him more than some in my own family. So, there you have it: trustworthy, ethical, experienced, extremely competent, informed, and fair in every way. He redeems all those “other” lawyers…you know who they are.

I was in an innuendo with my Home Purchase. We went through all the steps with due diligence since we have been on a contract. The Seller refused to sign on the day of the closing and went hiding. Not knowing what to do, I have been referred to Atty. Desmond Tuck. I will get to the point instead o...f adorning him with tons of adjectives, which he deserves by all means. Atty. Desmond was able to analyze and derive the possibilities within 30 minutes of the initial consultation. Without any delay he acted on my case putting a lis pendens on the property and getting ready to prepare the seller perform per the contract as per the law. i.e., Specific Performance through Arbitration. His letters to the opposite side was intransigent, coherent and extremely clear about what we are pursuing. He acted on the case promptly making the seller come out of the hideout and offering to pay damage for walking away from the deal. He negotiated on my behalf and obtained about 10% sales price of the purchase contract + all the out of pocket costs which included my escrow deposit, litigation costs, cost of inspection and appraisal. He made all that happen in a matter of 20 days. Here are few things that make him an outstanding lawyer. Plain fact and no gibberish. He does a due diligence in keeping you informed. I am an Engineer and so good with numbers. He derives possible outcomes of a litigation from his wealth of experience and intuition which tells me he has actually paid attention at his law school. He has the correct education and handles your case putting himself in your shoes. He possesses exemplary work ethics and he is an honest human being who would not just go by the texts. He will work with you and make a plan that is most appropriate for you. He will consider your limitation and take or advise steps that you would be comfortable with. He could have gone on with my case and make himself more money. But instead he advised me to full stop to it knowing my objective was not to deal with court but to find a suitable home. He worked towards helping my broker get his fees although he was under no obligation to put any effort there. In addition to that, he is a very approachable human being you would actually like to talk to and get to know as well. I could not be happier with his service. A top-notch lawyer and I would call him an Ideal Lawyer. Coming from a different country and culture, being with the top academic and professional peers in my life, it is definitely not difficult for me to attest to someone’s intelligence and quality. Atty. Desmond Tuck is a A+ scorer in my list. He will by far exceed your expectation of a lawyer. A friend in need indeed. I had worked with many lawyers in the past for corporate patents, my personal immigration as an Outstanding Researcher , company acquisition. I have met many top 10 school JDs and I must say, Atty. Desmond takes his cases personally and he is passionate about what he does. Unlike me, he does not talk more and waste time, he is to the point, eloquent and an action oriented person. You will not regret having him serve you. I can attest to that. Thanks to him for making my life easier.

I had been involved in a motorcycle accident. A friend of mined who works with Desmond recommended him. My friend is in the real estate business and deal with millions of dollars annually. Desmond handles most of his legal need. Initially I was intimidated to call Desmond, since my claim was very min...imal relative to his type of work. My friend told me that Desmond handles every case small or other with the same level of importance. I called Desmond, and that was exactly the case. He gave me five star services, he is professional, friendly and experience. He kept me inform and involved. Eventually I got compensated to my satisfaction.

Over twenty-three years Desmond Tuck has represented me for both personal and business issues. I respect him and consider him a friend. I have never had to wait for more than an hour for him to respond to a call from me. He is a man of great integrity. He will work for you. Desmond Tuck has saved me ...from the financial big guys. Just like David and Goliath.
