Great lawyer, very knowledgeable

Tyler Hinz is a very knowledgeable and professional lawyer. Our Grandfather wanted to create a trust to maximize the inheritance to his loved ones. Tyler did a great job explaining and creating the trust. He is very thorough and honest. His fee is very reasonable. We would definitely use Tyler Hinz ...for any future estate planning.

Working with Tyler Hinz

My wife and I were very pleased with all of the work that Tyler did for us in setting up our Living Trust. His connection with us was very personal and we both felt that his patience and clear explanation of the process made it very easy to understand. He was prompt in all of our correspondences an...d was available for any our questions. He was professional and at the same time genuinely interested in our unique story. We would have no reservations what so ever in referring him to others seeking guidance in the creating of a Living Trust.

Highly Recommended Consumer Law Attorney

Tyler is a very professional and hard working attorney who provides a high level of service for his clients. He has an in-depth understanding of consumer law as well as the general procedural rules enabling him to successfully construct numerous defenses for his clients. I would not hesitate to come ...to Tyler with a case as he understands the magnitude of his client's legal issues and works tirelessly to achieve a successful result.

This Guy Does Great Work!

I was subpoenaed by one of those collection agencies that buys debt for pennies on the dollar and then bombards you with threatening phone calls and mail trying to scare money out of you. A subpoena could not be ignored though. I found Tyler's name in the Yellow Pages. (Yes, I still use the Yel...low Pages) I called him and explained my situation. Within a day or two I was in his office going over the subpoena and discussing what my options were. After deciding to go to trial we discussed his rate. In my opinion his rate was very,Very reasonable for what was at stake in my situation. He gave me the option of an hourly or flat fee. We signed an agreement and went ahead. He filed the the Court papers, went to Court and was able to get an extension on the trial due to some discovery mistakes that were made by the collection agency. I know that many Santa Clara County Judges are not very consumer friendly in situations like this. It was a feat in itself, in my opinion, to get this extension. I truly believe this was due to Tyler's skill and commitment to consumer protection. During the extension waiting period the collection agency contacted Tyler and said they were willing to accept a lower payment than what they had originally sued for. He informed me of this and I refused. Within less than two weeks Tyler informed me that the collection agency had dropped the suit with prejudice. The "with prejudice" part, in my understanding, means they can still pursue the issue until the statute* runs out, which in my case is just a few months. It is, however, unlikely this will happen. My personal feeling is this will NOT happen because they know I will contact Tyler again and he is sincerely committed to protecting consumers. They don't like that kind of thing. Sincerely, BD, San Jose, CA *In my experience, even when any statute runs out, they will continue calling, mailing, etc. I just ignore them.
