Excellent Attorney!!!

I'll start by saying I was facing 3 felony counts and really didnt know what to do so I hired Tim and he began to work immediately on my case. Tim worked his magic Methodically and with pen point Precision he always kept me informed about my case and he never quit. To make a long story short Tim ende...d up getting me a simple Misdemeanor this guy is the truth and legit I would recommend him to anyone .

One of Stockton best Lawyers!

Tim is a very good and Professional and smart lawyer! I totally recommend him, I had to fire my other lawyer, because he wasn’t doing and saying what I wanted to ,so I went and Hired Mr Tuitavuki. Best choice that I made. He was highly recommended to me by a couple different people and they said... he’ll get what you want done and he sure did. Thank you so much Tim! I would use him anytime .

My go to lawyer

Tim F. Tuitavuki is an awesome lawyer!!!!! Didn't fail me 10 years ago and did not fail me this time. I Was fighting a certain case in about 2020 and as soon as I hired him, he did not waste any time. He kept in contact with me the whole time while we fought for about 2 years. In those years he went... over important information about the case and said it would be a good idea to go to trial. All in all I listened to his expertise and knowledgeable ideas and in December 2022 we beat the trial. Will definitely be keeping him in my contacts!!!!!! Awesome lawyer!

Great Attorney

I was charged with 52 counts of contempt in criminal court and I was scared beyond belief. I’m grateful Tim is so knowledgeable and professional, he counseled me each step of the way. This was uncharted territory for me, but watching how he picks a jury and makes his statements, does his cross examin...ation gave me some peace of mind because he clearly knows what he’s doing. In the end I was found “not guilty” on ALL 52 counts! Me, and family can’t thank Tim enough. I will never use another attorney and I definitely recommend him!!!

There at perfect timing

This is Victor Mendoza and in my case that Tim helped me on was tough for me because I could of been cut from seeing my two kids and I would of been hurt financially as well. As soon as Tim took my case he made me feel like all hope was not lost, and to make long story short I got what I wanted and t...o this day I couldn’t thank Tim enough for the help and the guidance he gave me. Thank you.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mr. Tuitavuki has the unique legal experience of previously working as a Deputy District Attorney and now as a Criminal Defense Attorney. His experience with the DA's office gives him a complex understanding of how a legal matter is prosecuted in this county and sets him aside from other defense attorneys. In other words, Mr. Tuitavuki knows the other sides playbook."

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.
