3 Felonies

An exceptional lawyer! Highly knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated. Tim got all three felonies dropped and I just had to do 200 hours of community service. He literally saved my job and my livelihood.

Quality representation with excellent results

My family had the privilege of having Tim defend them in criminal and family-law-related restraining orders proceedings. Tim got dismissals with prejudice on all fronts. Ultimately, these results were due to Tim’s endless expertise and strong advocacy skills. Moreover, Tim’s style of dealing with the... facts and evidence is unparalleled. Most importantly, Tim is fair, personable, honest, and hardworking; going above and beyond by working on the weekends and holidays to get prepared given the short deadlines we were facing. As a lawyer myself, I was highly impressed with Tim’s quality of work. I would recommend Tim without any hesitation.

Highly reccomend

I hired Tim as my lawyer for a grand theft case. He was very patient and helpful as he helped me get my case dismissed after a 6-7 month stretch. He helped me get it dismissed and walked free and was very reasonable with his fees.

Hands down the best!

Help me beat an unnecessary gun charge when it looked unbeatable due to negligence with the prior lawyer I hired before Tim.

I’d like to write this review to Mr. Tuitavuki and his office. I can not express humbly enough my thanks and gratitude to Mr. Tuitavuki and his office . I was able to retain Mr. Tuitavuki’s service’s for a court proceeding. From the beginning, Mr Tuitavuki was forthcoming and professional in our... initial consultation. He also showed great caring and compassion for my situation. Once hired, he skillfully guided me through the process of the proceedings with great determination and professionalism. Mr. Tuitavuki showed his knowledge of the judicial system through his work ethic and expertise and was able to created an outcome that was beneficial to my situation. I can’t thank him enough. He made and rather uncomfortable experience to say the least. As smooth as possible. Again, I humbly express my thanks and appreciation for Mr. Tuitavuki!!..

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."

  • 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.
