Fantastic Car Accident Result

Approximately 2 years ago I was a passenger in my husband’s car when we were rear ended at a stop light. After the accident I had x-rays taken at a local hospital, had an MRI done, saw two doctors, went through physical therapy and paid all the bills associated with the physical damage done to my ...body after the accident. In order to obtain compensation for my expenses, because the person who hit us was underinsured, I made an appointment with Mr. Griff Tonkin. Griff and his staff walked me through a deposition, obtained a settlement reimbursing the hospital, doctors, the X-Ray company for the MRI, and my physical therapist with a professionalism I would expect from an attorney and his staff. His office kept me informed of the status of my claims via phone and email. Griff answered all my questions in terms a lay person could understand. I have referred friends and acquaintances to Mr. Tonkin and will continue to do so. L. Swanson; Redding, CA

Terrific Lawyer!

I have worked with Griffith on numerous Real Estate transactions over the 18 years I have been in the business. Griffith is professional, honest, reliable, and knowledgeable. I have also referred many clients to Griffith over the years and they have all raved about his excellent service. I recommend ...Griffith whole heartily to all my clients.

Experts in their field

Griff and his team are always my first choice when I need help with a question or matter. Being a client of their firm has been a tremendous benefit to my family. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking experts in their field.

Client

When I think of Arthofer & Tonkin Law Offices, words that come to mind are words like, 'Excellence", "Integrity' or, 'Personal.' I've heard so many nightmare stories from people about the fact that their attorney wouldn't communicate with them, or was unresponsive to their questions. Not so with Arth...ofer & Tonkin Law Offices. My experience with this firm was superior in every way, including successful outcome. The attention to detail, and the communications process with me were superior. They are reliable, experienced, and very personable. I would recommend them (and have,) to anyone looking for excellent legal representation.
