Elite Representation

I am incredibly thankful to Roland Tiemann and his amazing team for their outstanding representation throughout the terrifying and stressful false accusations from my ex and found it in my best interest to get the best legal representation after spending almost 2 days in jail. After Interviewing many... very impersonal lawyers I found Roland Tiemanns law firm on Super Lawyers and gave him a call after seeing all the glowing reviews from former clients. From our first conversation he was the only lawyer who seemed to genuinely care about defending me and provided me with honest guidance around the situation rather then pressuring me into emptying my pockets for his help which meant the world to me as someone who’s never gone through something like this before. Mr. Tiemann assessed my case and assured me my case was very defendable and told me to give him a call back if I’d like his representation. Later that day I called Mr. Tiemann back and he assigned Mr Aaron Cadiz to defend my case who from the day I met him exhibited a caring nature, compassion, also impressive legal expertise, and showed he is a strong force in the courtroom when it comes to getting his clients the best possible outcome. I still remember the day I was told by the Bias District Attorney that they intended on giving me a year in jail and I could potentially face up to 4 years in state prison regardless of my lack of my criminal history and the evidence I had against these false accusations, and I’m not exaggerating when I tell you I believed my Dreams, Jobs, and Life itself were over; Aaron noticed how upset and terrified I was and I will forever remember what he said to me right after. “Don’t worry the entire law firm is behind you and I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN TO YOU” then took immediate action getting a private investigator involved as well as walking me through the necessary classes to start on for mitigating my case. Aaron always stayed in contact, remained informative, and gave me the peace of mind knowing I had a high class lawyer who knew the ins and outs of the entire situation on my side, and of course got me the charge reduced and the outcome that we planned for all along and told me to give him a call after two years of my probation to get it expunged oh and did I mention, No Jail Time! Aaron is exceptionally and without a doubt in a class of his own and has a very bright future as a super lawyer; I genuinely believe he already is one with the dedication and capabilities he demonstrated to my family and I, and I confidently believe all of his former clients can agree with my bold statement ! I can’t thank you enough for helping me regain my life and peace of mind Aaron Cadiz and thank you Mr.Tiemann for your patience and elite level team of lawyers! I will never forget this! God Bless You All (Reasons You Should Hire Mr. Tiemann) - Expertise & Experience (95% Win Rate) - Strong Communication Skills - Integrity & Trustworthiness - Empathy & Compassion - Elite Level Advocate With the Upmost Respect, -Joseph M

Tieman Defense

4 months ago I was (wrongfully) facing felony charges when I decided it would be in my best interest to hire a legal team rather than take my chances in court alone .I called Tieman Defense and spoke to Roland Tieman.After giving details and a brief summary of my case Roland explained what services... he and his team could provide for me in court and I immediately agreed . I have no regrets because I’m pleased to say that Tieman Defense were able to have all charges dismissed!!! Once meeting Roland and seeing how confident he was not only in person but most importantly in court i knew I had made the right decision.I would go on to have 3 more court dates as he predicted we would just before our first hearing and I can’t thank Roland and his team enough for all the hard work on my case to obtain all the evidence and information needed to provide for the best possible outcome in court and in my best interest of course . Throughout the time in between these court hearings Roland and his team kept in constant contact calling and emailing me to go over details , even reminding me when I needed to appear in court and basically held my hand throughout this whole process. I was very pleased with the whole team especially Micheal Berezin who was in constant contact by phone and in person in court assuring me that Roland and his team were doing everything possible for my case and relieving me of my stress and concerns .Im also very pleased to say without too much detail that Roland and his team are still in contact with me and I’m more than confident it is for my best interests.I highly recommend if you find yourself in trouble and will be facing charges take my advice and don’t face them alone hire ROLAND TIEMAN!!

My hero !!

I got myself into a mess that had cases from four years ago until now, like I said I said a real mess ! I was not only shocked but thankful for the deal he got me! I’ve heard some crazy stories about some lawyers not doing what they said they would do, Roland not only did what he said he would but mo...re , besides the extremely awesome deal he got me but he saved me $10,000 in fines , including my freedom! I didn’t feel like just another client but that he took a personal interest in me , I felt like I had a million dollar lawyer that after the $10,000 he saved me , seemed like I didn’t spend much at all ! I will always be in your debt, thank you so much, for what you did for me ! I not only recommend but if you have him in your corner, feel lucky!

5 Good Reasons for a 5 Star Rating

1. Knowledgeable. Atty Roland knows the intricacies and nuances of my case, domestic violence. He is not Summa Cum Laude for nothing. He has the necessary education, expertise and knows the law and how the court works. 2. Experienced. With his experience and aggressiveness, he had my case dismiss...ed like three days before my scheduled hearing. It was a welcome surprise and I thank God for working through my Attorney. 3. Accessible and Approachable. These are two traits that separate him from other Attorneys. He went to the extent of giving away his personal number and thus I could call him anytime I wanted to if I had some questions and needed some clarification. Hence, it lessened my anxiety level. 4. Fatherly and Friendly. With my case, domestic violence, I feared so much for my life that I might spend a year in jail. It gave me so much sleepless nights. But he was there to give me some comfort and gave me the assurance that everything would be all right. He was like a father to me comforting his own son. Also, he has this friendly demeanor. I did not feel he was my Attorney, but a friend willing to lend a helping hand. 5. Organized. He works with his staff that is methodical and systematic. Everything was calendared and promptly disseminated to me for my knowledge and information. I did not keep on guessing on what to do next. I highly recommend Atty. Roland X. Tiemann. As an Attorney, he is simply the best, a lawyer par excellence. And as a person, he is people oriented, accommodating, engaging and super nice and friendly! And most importantly, he teams up with a fatherly and engaging investigator in the person of Steve.

Finding a great lawer

In 2010 I was bartending at a local bar in Carmichael and was working my usual Monday 'Happy Hour' shift. It was a busy afternoon and a young guy came in, sat at the bar and ordered a beer. I served him a beer and rang it up and as soon as I put his change on the bar two agents that had been sitting ...at the bar stood up and produced their badges and asked me to step out in back of the bar. They were agents of the Alcohol Beverage Control Board and I was cited, interogated and photographed and given a date to appear in Superior court. Never having been in this situation before and not really knowing what to do in terms of finding a good defense attorney, I opened up the Yellow Pages of the phone book and looked under DUI defense attorney's thinking that even if they couldn't help me at least maybe they could point me in the right direction. This was when I met and hired Roland Tieman. Upon speaking with Mr Tieman about my case I found him to be very knowledgeble and courteous as well as being sympathetic to my situation. Mr Tieman took it from there and after very shrewdly continuing my case for several months, was able to negotiate a deferred judgement for me in which I never had to make a plea and agreed to 6 weeks of unsupervised probation and one weekend of classes. After I completed the probationary period and the classes the charges against me were dropped with no adverse action whatsoever against the bar I worked in. Not ONE person that I talked to in or outside of the bar had ever heard of someone beating a charge of serving a minor. Mr Tieman literally did for me what nobody had heard of before through his patience and tactical legal manuvering. Retaining Mr Tieman was the best money I ever spent and I continued to bartend for years after this incident. I cannot reccomend his services enough and he is a testament to the value of his profession.

Relationship: Other

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Roland Tiemann is an expert in the defense of DUI charges. His expertise covers all aspects of DUI cases, from fighting the DMV to fighting the district attorney. One aspect of Roland's services that set him apart is his knowledge and understanding of the science involved in DUI defense. I have personally observed lawyers from all over the state of California asking Roland for information about the operation of alcohol testing equipment. Roland is one of the few lawyers that owns many of the alcohol testing devices used by law enforcement and so he is uniquely qualified to recognize potential defenses that are inherent to such devices or arise out of their malfunction and misuse."
