Lawyer

I was charged and we set the case for trial and got the case dismissed. He always answered my questions and kept in contact with me. If I ever had I would call him again. That would help me out. Thanks!

Courageous lawyer

I can't begin to thank this man for what he has done for me and my family. I started a case looking at 5-6 years and living in fear of the future and Tim T not only calmed me down but put my wife and kids at rest. He made no false promises but have me hope all the same. I hope someone at least takes ...5 minutes to meet with him and they will be sold in 1. Thanks Tim!

Tim did a great job of getting all the evidence suppressed for a DUI trial. Was great on the Cross examination of the Police Officer. Great to work with...

Criminal defense lawyer | Jan 27

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."

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.
