A little over a year ago I was in an accident, totaled my car, rear-ended another driver and was arrested for an extreme DUI, (thank God, no one was injured.) Mr. Tinker came highly recommended to me by another well respected attorney in our city. He was available for a consultation with-in a few days. Of course I was ashamed, humiliated by my huge mistake, nervous and probably a bit “scattered.” However, Mr. Tinker was extremely kind, non-judgmental, patient, straightforward, knowledgeable, gracious and a gentleman. I knew immediately that I could trust him, and he would “go to bat” for me. He also went to court for me, a few times which I truly appreciate. I must say, that he went above and beyond guiding me through every stressful detail associated with an extreme DUI; directing me to alcohol screening classes, assisting with ADOT and DMV requirements, and even connected me to an insurance agent and a manager of a local car dealership. It was a long drawn out year, however, when we went to court he was successful in negotiating a plea agreement which was most agreeable. Should anyone find themselves, family or friends in such a predicament as mine, I would highly recommend Mr. Tinker. He is now my hero!

I simply cannot say enough good things about James Tinker and his services regarding my DUI case. He was recommended to me by a friend, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to you. From the moment I hired James, in addition to the excellent legal work I expected, he also provided practical advice on dealing with all the other hurdles a DUI defendant has to overcome in Arizona, such as mandatory alcohol counseling and dealing with the MVD. Meanwhile, his legal services were beyond reproach, taking full charge of every aspect involving the court, so much so that I never had to appear in person. Due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic, my case dragged on for many months longer than normal. Through it all, James kept me fully informed and aware of how things were progressing, despite delay after delay. When I was charged I was feeling ashamed and only wanted to get the whole thing behind me as quickly as possible. James counseled patience, saying time is on our side, and his steadying influence took a great deal of stress off my shoulders. And of course, I cannot fully express my appreciation for his handling of the legal aspects of my case, where his expertise defending DUI cases and his experience as a former prosecutor clearly proved invaluable. After critically reviewing the officer's statements and reports, he recognized a potential issue that I didn't give a second thought to at the time. Despite working for a generally flat fee regardless of the outcome, he diligently pursued the issue that was bothering him, when I wouldn't have felt slighted if he merely collected his fee and did nothing more than shepherd the case through court. Instead, he expended valuable time, energy, and resources to thoroughly investigate all aspects of my case, bringing to light significant flaws in the traffic stop, exactly as he suspected. I had no reason to expect such dedication and devotion in my defense. I thought I was really just hiring an attorney to prevent making a silly mistake if I tried to handle things on my own. James' professionalism, experience, depth of knowledge, and dogged determination far exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for the best attorney in the Phoenix area to work on your DUI case, I cannot recommend James Tinker strongly enough!

Can not speak highly enough of Mr. Tinker and my experience hiring him for my DUI case. From start to finish, Jim was incredibly respectful, communicative, and hard working (the opposite of what most folks expect/receive). He avoided court and won the case with his creativity and experience in Phoenix/Scottsdale judicial systems. Thank you, Jim!

Jim is an excellent attorney that takes his time to fully comprehend your case in order to develop a winning strategy. I was charged with a DUI and Jim went above and beyond with his defense and had the DUI charges dropped due to many flaws In the case. I would highly recommend him.

Unfortunately I got in a lil bit of trouble and needed a lawyer, and I was given Mr Tinkers name and phone number...the next day I called and we met a week or so later...turns out it was the best phone call I made after my indiscretions...Mr Tinkers communication through this whole ordeal was unparalleled, his continuous hard work (for over a year) on my case was was mind boggling as he had multiple other cases at the same time!!!! I am a million percent satisfied with Mr Tinkers professionalism, knowledge, and accessibility at all hours...I HIGHLY recommend Mr James Tinker to any and all Thank you Mr Tinker

I cannot thank Mr.Tinker enough! I would give him 100 stars if I could. Before hiring Mr.Tinker, he sat down with my mom and I for an hour and explained everything. He also made sure he answered every single one of my questions. This was my first charge and Mr.Tinker made the whole process very smooth. He always contacted me to follow up, made sure I was well aware and gave me all the information I needed. Throughout everything, he was extremely polite and kind, and very genuine. When he said he was going to do something, I knew he was going to do it. I had no doubt in my mind. Even though my situation was a very stressful time of my life, I hardly ever stressed just by having Mr.Tinker to represent me. Thank you for everything!

I was facing a slew of charges and a friend recommended that I hire James Tinker as my attorney. It’s the best choice I could’ve made, I was shocked when most of the charges I was facing were dismissed due to James Tinker’s expert negotiations. As a result, the consequences I was facing were drastically reduced and I was able to keep my job as a result, which I had been in danger of losing if I was convicted of all of the charges. I’m extremely satisfied with the outcome of my case and I would highly recommend hiring him to all of my family and friends!

I got an extreme DUI. I live in another country. I was unable to serve my time or do my drug screening due to living in EU. I had a warrant for my arrest - and - 10 years had passed from the time I was arrested to the time I could satisfy all the requirements. Add to that, the 1st attorney I had found through Google absolutely messed up. James was left with quite a mess to clean up. I was scared. I didn't have enough info to make good decisions. I didn't trust that I would get someone who was competent after the first bad lawyer. My wife was anxious. My friends were making fun of me, and worse, it was hanging over my shoulder all these years. Enter James. Aside from being a really great human with no B.S. soft skills, he also answered my laundry-list-of-questions. Everything from whether I could bring a book into jail to how I needed to prepare for court. I work with lawyers on a regular basis - albeit not criminal ones - and he is not only profoundly competent, but also someone I would happily hang out with and shoot the breeze. Don't make the same mistakes I did by using Google. Use James. He was referred to me from a local friend and I could not be happier. The outcome of this story you may ask? I had 4 alternatives, from worst to best: 1. 45 days straight in jail. MAYBE getting 2 for 1 credit. 2. 5 Day work release [12 hour in jail and 12 hour out of jail + 2 days per week in jail}. 3. 6 day work release [same as above except 1 day in jail per week] 4. Home Detention [ability to work at home, sleep in my own bed and reduce the amount of hours spent in jail. The odds that I would get option 4 was less than 2%; however, James is James, and option 4 is what I got. My wife and I could not be happier and my friends all think he's a genius! Do yourself a favour - and just call James! Thanks for reading, and all the best!

James Tinker guided me through a very difficult situation and went above and beyond my expectations. I could not have chosen a better attorney. Thank you James, I will always appreciate all you did for me and my case.

You need to understand that it is not in my nature to normally give gushing reviews, but I TRULY cannot say enough good things about James Tinker! My sister was in a traffic accident a little over a year ago, and it seemed that the other side had little interest in "playing fair." We couldn't even get them to return a phone call, even though we wanted to "do the right thing" and cover all of the gentleman's medical expenses! My sister was a wreck when the other party hired a lawyer who immediately began with threats, not even trying to have a reasonable conversation first. Here I was, across the country and wanting to help, crawling all over the internet and telephone, interviewing attorneys who might be able to help her. It was my great good fortune to come across a delightful attorney who explained that, while he did not handle these kind of cases, he would be happy to recommend one who could. James Tinker to the rescue! From start to finish, I was delighted to find in Mr. Tinker a man of honor and of thoughtfulness-- for our time and our finances and, perhaps even more rarely these days, for my sister's feelings and emotional well-being as well as her legal well-being. He was courteous and kind each time we spoke. He managed to convince opposing counsel to settle for a very reasonable sum that was more than fair (and without the nightmare of court appearances for my sister) and left us all heaving huge sighs of relief. He was thorough and honest and displayed an integrity that would make even Shakespeare reconsider his stance on lawyers. In short, I would give James Tinker even more stars if I could! And as I said when I began, I am not normally the sort to hand out glowing reviews. As my students could tell you, an A+ is pretty much a miracle from me... but James Tinker is, without a doubt, an A+ kind of guy! You will be fortunate and glad to hire him, I can assure you! A+ in every category!

As a result, the consequences I was facing were drastically reduced and I was able to keep my job as a result, which I had been in danger of losing if I was convicted of all of the charges. I’m extremely satisfied with the outcome of my case and I would highly recommend hiring him to all of my family and friends!

I got an extreme DUI. I live in another country. I was unable to serve my time or do my drug screening due to living in EU. I had a warrant for my arrest - and - 10 years had passed from the time I was arrested to the time I could satisfy all the requirements. Add to that, the 1st attorney I had found through Google absolutely messed up. James was left with quite a mess to clean up. I was scared. I didn't have enough info to make good decisions. I didn't trust that I would get someone who was competent after the first bad lawyer. My wife was anxious. My friends were making fun of me, and worse, it was hanging over my shoulder all these years. Enter James. Aside from being a really great human with no B.S. soft skills, he also answered my laundry-list-of-questions. Everything from whether I could bring a book into jail to how I needed to prepare for court. I work with lawyers on a regular basis - albeit not criminal ones - and he is not only profoundly competent, but also someone I would happily hang out with and shoot the breeze. Don't make the same mistakes I did by using Google. Use James. He was referred to me from a local friend and I could not be happier. The outcome of this story you may ask? I had 4 alternatives, from worst to best: 1. 45 days straight in jail. MAYBE getting 2 for 1 credit. 2. 5 Day work release [12 hour in jail and 12 hour out of jail + 2 days per week in jail}. 3. 6 day work release [same as above except 1 day in jail per week] 4. Home Detention [ability to work at home, sleep in my own bed and reduce the amount of hours spent in jail. The odds that I would get option 4 was less than 2%; however, James is James, and option 4 is what I got. My wife and I could not be happier and my friends all think he's a genius! Do yourself a favour - and just call James! Thanks for reading, and all the best!

James Tinker guided me through a very difficult situation and went above and beyond my expectations. I could not have chosen a better attorney. Thank you James, I will always appreciate all you did for me and my case.

You need to understand that it is not in my nature to normally give gushing reviews, but I TRULY cannot say enough good things about James Tinker! My sister was in a traffic accident a little over a year ago, and it seemed that the other side had little interest in "playing fair." We couldn't even get them to return a phone call, even though we wanted to "do the right thing" and cover all of the gentleman's medical expenses! My sister was a wreck when the other party hired a lawyer who immediately began with threats, not even trying to have a reasonable conversation first. Here I was, across the country and wanting to help, crawling all over the internet and telephone, interviewing attorneys who might be able to help her. It was my great good fortune to come across a delightful attorney who explained that, while he did not handle these kind of cases, he would be happy to recommend one who could. James Tinker to the rescue! From start to finish, I was delighted to find in Mr. Tinker a man of honor and of thoughtfulness-- for our time and our finances and, perhaps even more rarely these days, for my sister's feelings and emotional well-being as well as her legal well-being. He was courteous and kind each time we spoke. He managed to convince opposing counsel to settle for a very reasonable sum that was more than fair (and without the nightmare of court appearances for my sister) and left us all heaving huge sighs of relief. He was thorough and honest and displayed an integrity that would make even Shakespeare reconsider his stance on lawyers. In short, I would give James Tinker even more stars if I could! And as I said when I began, I am not normally the sort to hand out glowing reviews. As my students could tell you, an A+ is pretty much a miracle from me... but James Tinker is, without a doubt, an A+ kind of guy! You will be fortunate and glad to hire him, I can assure you! A+ in every category!
