Knowledgeable and Trustworthy

Deena represented me a few years ago, she gave it to me absolutely straight during my consultation. She was honest, direct and she stood up for me in court with confidence (and won). I recently had a question about a possible case I wanted to consult with her about….and she gave me info that I didn...’t even know about and let me know that I don’t need a lawyer for this. Another attorney quoted me a retainer for the same thing! I highly recommend Deena to anyone needing a criminal defense attorney.

Contacted Deena when i was in a troublesome situation. Deena has both the wisdom and expertise to advise through any legal situation as a criminal defense. I would highly recommend her in the future, and wouldn’t hesitate to use her for legal situations moving forward.

The best!

Deena is without a doubt the absolute best attorney in Idaho. She guided me through the entire uncomfortable process of the legal system step by step, fought for me tooth and nail and I only ended up with probation and community service. She even went that extra mile and helped me with my licensing b...oard. So incredibly grateful for her skills and knowledge.

Deena is Amazing!

From day one, Deena had a great plan with my case! She is extremely knowledgeable and ready for whatever the court threw our way. Her experience and preparedness made me feel so much better in the days leading up to and the day of the hearing. Even after my court date (which had an amazing outcome), ...she has continued to help me with my case when needed. I would highly recommend Deena!!

Review of Deena Marie Tvinnereim

My sister and I had hired Miss Deena Tvinnereim to represent us during a Civil Protection Order Defense. She was highly recommended. Our court hearing was set for one day after we first met with Deena. We presented our information to Deena and she had very little time to present our case to the court...s that same day. She told us that we may have to extend the hearing to a future date. The judge was able to review the information that Deena presented before our defensive hearing the next day. We showed up to court. Once we began, it was literally less than 1 minute that the judge said that the accusations should have never come to court in the first place. Deena's experience and expertise was top of the line and I would highly recommend this very energetic lady. She knows her stuff. Thank you Deena.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
