Griffith James Tonkin

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

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.

Griff represented both my husband & I in an automobile accident claim. Though he never made any promises, Griff was able to settle our cases successfully. He was very forthcoming with what we could expect and though our case was trying at times, he remained professional and very patient. Our case in...volved a 3x drunk driver who hit us and was covered by a step-down auto policy. We tried to settle on our own with the other insurance but this proved unsuccessful. Griff was able to make contact with the other person's insurance & resolved our case in what we considered to be a short amount of time. He and his staff respond to messages left in a very timely manner and are on all levels, professional. They are well spoken and maintain a positive demeanor every day of the week, no matter the time of day. Griff & his staff worked very hard to attain the best outcome possible for us considering the given the limitations. We are extremely satisfied with both the outcomes of our cases as well as the level of dedication. We would absolutely recommend Griff to anyone in need of an honest lawyer who is dedicated, educated, and committed to excellence.

We started a claim with our homeowners insurance company and started having problems from the very beginning. Three months into the claim the insurance company refused to return phone calls and emails; that's when we hired Mr. Griffith Tonkin. Griff listened to our story and after reviewing our pap...erwork, agreed to represent us. Griff was very clear from our initial interview what the financial costs were and what the ongoing litigation expenses were going to be. Griff and/or his Staff always returned our phone calls or email's within 24 hours. Whenever we met with Griff, he took his time explaining the issues of where our claim was but also the next few steps into the case. We received a monthly statement which, upon our review, accurately described what Griff and his Staff had worked on for our case. As time went by, we found Griff and his Staff to be attentive to our claim. Griff explained the pros and cons of our case every time we met with him. There were times when we, ourselves, began to doubt that our claim would ever be resolved. Griff was always encouraging and never gave up his resolve to see it through to a satisfactory conclusion. As the time came closer to a resolution to our case, Griff continued to be encouraging and supporting of us. Griff (and his Staff) was a major reason our case was resolved satisfactorily to both parties. Griff and his Staff were always professional, honest, courteous and punctual in all of the facets of our long-term case. He represented us well during all of the meetings and in the Mediation meeting. Based on our experience during this litigation process, my wife and I would highly recommend Mr. Griffith J. Tonkin to represent you!!!
