I didn't have Mr. Tinnian as my attorney but I had a consultation. I was not impressed. I spoke with a few prominant DUI lawyers prior to speaking with Mr. Tinnian. I knew from the start that he did not know anything about DUI defense. He was filling me with BS and pushing hard for the sale. After hiring another lawyer, I asked him about Mr. Tinnian. He said that Raymond Tinnian is a laughing stock of the legal profession. He overcharges clients, provides poor representation, is disrespected by the other lawyers, and pitied by judges. I was told he had over 40 ethics complaints and needed a mental health evaluation! Come to think if it, he did seem somewhat insane to me with his beedy little eyes. He just acted weird--like a stalker. Again, I did not hire him. I am only letting people know of my experience with him during the consultation, and how other lawyers perceive him as incompetent.
