Loyal and trustworthy

Alan was patient, knowledgeable, persuasive, friendly, prompt, organized - and always there for you 24/7. The divorce case took 3 years and went through mediation - then a dragged out incapacitance trial and then property division trial. Now it is still in the appeal process. Through it all what ...surprised me most was his ability to remember all the little details and the dates. His ability to focus on the case and its crucial details without going off topic, and to stand by me through it all. His ability to let me know honestly what might/might not be a waste of time and effort and money has earned my trust in him. Working with him I learned a lot more about Law and the way judges think and give their decisions. He is one fantastic lawyer - who is worth every penny of his fees, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in dire need of a lawyer.

Highly Recommended!

Alan was a life-saver. I had a terrible attorney previous to him and had to find one on short notice. Alan was so easy to work with and willing to help - I couldn't be more grateful. Alan was very upfront about fees, was sympathetic to my plight, and was very candid about actions that would be a w...aste of money. What I most appreciated was that Alan was responsive. He always answered emails and voicemails promptly and was available to me over the weekend when something urgent came up. Alan always let me know what the next steps were, what to expect in court, and was very patient with my many questions. He also was very familiar with the facts of the case and argued very competently and in detail. I was very impressed that he had obviously spent a lot of time getting to know the facts. Alan is also just a friendly guy - I don't think I ever had a meeting with him that didn't involve him telling an entertaining story that would inevitably make me laugh, which was much needed and much appreciated. I hope to never need a lawyer again, but if I do, I will definitely be using Alan Tindell. Highly recommended!

Accolade to Alan Tindell for a job well done!

This is a sincere review of Mr. Tindell as an attorney in Tri-Cities Washington State. Mr. Tindell kindly accepted my case when my hope seemed dashed. Mr. Tindell knew very well that I was very broke financially but still accepted my case and giving me a ray of hope. This shows that he is not just ab...out money, but about the best interest of my child. Despite the fact that I live thousand of miles away from the State of WA, Mr. Tindell always got in touch with me, giving me updates on my case, and preparing me for the next line of action. He did this via regular phone contacts, e-mails, and letters. Mr. Tindell also has a good client-attorney relationship, a wonderful sense of humor, and was very professional. He handled my daughter's case as if it is all about his own child. He almost shed tears when he observed me becoming very emotional during the trial. Above it all, Mr. Tindell prepared very well for the trial. A day before the trial, I saw my huge file (since my case was very complicated because of what surrounded it) in front of him while he was studying it with keen interest. At a time, I discovered that he even appeared to have understood my case more than I did. From the case file, he pointed to me all the lies and deceptions that had been made by other party and these he pointed out to the Judge during cross-examination. I saw another side of Mr. Tindell during the trial. During cross-examination, Mr. Tindell demonstrated his excellent ability to memorize dates of all events and reports that were filed on the case and these gave him a huge advantage over the opposing parties. Not only was I surprised with the outcome of the trial, I was also satisfied with the results as my credibility was restored by the Judge and the Judge offered a fair but equal share of parenting time with my daughter who had been estranged from me. God used Mr. Tindell to help me reunite with my daughter. I thought I had no voice, but he made my voice heard in the court and this was acknowledged by the Judge. His closing argument was fantastic as it was made in a logical sequence and convincing without reading a book. What else can I say about this man? Mr. Tindell even offered me an accommodation in his humble but a beautiful home and I have never seen this done by any attorney! He also fed me during the period I was in his home. He became a friend to me when I had none and a voice to me when I could not speak. Words and this medium cannot vividly express all the good things that Mr. Tindell did for me!!! Mr. Tindell, I say ‘thank you’ for allowing God to use you to rejuvenate my hope of being a father to my child again. I will always be indebted to you. Thank you.
