Tyler S Hinz

I emailed Mr. Hinz through Avvo and got response within 24 hours. I could not get in touch with him through his office line, so he very kindly provided his personal cell phone number to me. During the phone consultation, he went through what I needed and suggested solutions as well as explained what ...the fee structure would be. He then sent the initiation package to me so that we could have better understanding how the service would go. Overall, even though some unexpected event happened that we didn't end up acquire Mr. Hinz's service, I could tell from our conversation and the questionnaire accompanied the initial package that Mr. Hinz has genuine interested in his clients' needs and would do his best to satisfy specific requirements. I don't know what future holds, but I will definitely contact Mr. Hinz again should I come across the urgency to request the legal service of his expertise.

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.
