Definitely Recommend to hire Tia

Tia is a kind, professional, and very intelligent attorney. I spoke with many attorneys but Tia stood out from the rest. I knew I was going to hire him as soon as we started speaking. He carries himself in a very professional way in court but when it's just you and him discussing business he makes yo...u feel comfortable, reassures you while making you laugh. Obviously we are in crappy situations if we have to hire him but Tia does a very good job at making you less stressed. Tia doesn't treat you like a pay check, he honestly makes you feel better about the situation and shows he cares about you as a person. He was different from the rest of the attorneys around stanislaus County. Hopefully I won't need an attorney again but if I were to get into another position where I needed representation, my husband and I are 100% going with Tia Bogan. You are in good hands when it comes to Tia and his assistant, they will make sure you are taken care of and get the best outcome possible. I had 3 charges including a felony dismissed by Tia Bogan. He does not rest until you are happy with the outcome.

Tai Is A Winner in Every Way Possible As an Attorney

Attorney Tai Bogan took great care of me. I needed his help with a criminal charge and he was very responsive, even during the holiday weekend. I was so worried i was losing sleep at night since i alredy have a criminal history it was NOT looking good for me. After reviewing everything, Tai laid out ...a clear plan of action and assured me on multiple occasions that we would win and my fears were simply that....fears. We got the results I hoped for. Unlike other attorneys I have spoken with, Tai is very responsive and thoroughly answered my questions in a clear way I could understand, and on top of that he has a great sense of humor and is extremely knowledgeable on criminal cases. And he was great at calming me down at a very scary time. Tai did everything he said he would do and in the end delivered awesome news. I am grateful that i took the chance on hiring him to represent me. He knows all the right people and his presence in the court room is definitely felt when he enters the room. In the end he made sure i walked out of court with the best deal possible! If you need any legal help i recommend Tai. He is the #1 Go-To for attorneys and if you are not voting for Tai, then You probably dont want to see the best results in you situation! 10 stars!!

True hero

I’ve known Tai for 3 yrs now and he is one of the best people I’ve ever known. I mean every word of that. Aside from his phenomenal lawyer skills, he’s your guardian angel. I entered the worst situation of my life so unheard of that every lawyer quit or made excuses not to help me. When I consulted w...ith Tai, he immediately resolved the issues. He was very honest with me and he fought every minute for what I wanted. (Lawyers typical don’t do that. They do what THEY want) you’ll see just how much that means in your crises. He is not afraid to fight for what’s right and makes his points so creatively while always maintain professionalism. most likely he will have you laughing through it all too with his great sense of humor, which relieves stress. I love Tai and cannot be more grateful for his support for me and my daughter. he never gives up. My best advice is pay your retainer and move on with your life knowing he is handling your case with your best interest as first priority. You don’t need to babysit him like most attorneys, don’t even need to call bcuz he has it under control and doesn’t skip a beat....the saying goes “if Tai can’t do it, nobody can!” I found a lot of truth in that.

I would give 10 stars if I could

I woke up to some news that had me rather worried and I was on the hunt to find a criminal defense attorney. I found Tai and reached out to him via a message on his website. Now it being labor day weekend, I was not expecting a response. He reached out to me anyway and reassured all my worries and ga...ve me some good advice. Now I will not be needing his services thankfully, but if I should ever have a problem criminally or in the other areas of his expertise; he will be who I call. He didn't have to give me advice, but he did. That shows true compassion and I am very much thankful for that. Thank you Tai!

Confident & Aggressive Atty

This successful and controlling woman found herself in a bad situation one day -Arrested and Charged. I need this nightmare to go away! I consulted with a few attorneys before coming across Tai Bogan. Other attorneys were telling me all the possibilities I was facing, and I was not feeling confident.... Mr. Bogan charged a consultation fee and a retainer fee that was more expensive than the other attorneys. At first I thought, “I just bailed out for $5k, I can’t afford him too”. But the minute I met with Mr. Bogan, he assured me that I wasn’t criminal, I didn’t need a diversion plan, I needed this case dismissed! And that’s all he was going to fight for. I knew I needed his aggressiveness. He set me up on a payment plan and took it from there!..... within 6 months of continuations and with God’s grace my case was dismissed! I am a blessed and happy woman and would have it no other way! Bottom line don’t take a cat to a dogfight. Lol. Hire Tai!!!
