Tyler Hinz is a very knowledgeable and professional lawyer. Our Grandfather wanted to create a trust to maximize the inheritance to his loved ones. Tyler did a great job explaining and creating the trust. He is very thorough and honest. His fee is very reasonable. We would definitely use Tyler Hinz for any future estate planning.

I emailed Mr. Hinz through Avvo and got response within 24 hours. I could not get in touch with him through his office line, so he very kindly provided his personal cell phone number to me. During the phone consultation, he went through what I needed and suggested solutions as well as explained what the fee structure would be. He then sent the initiation package to me so that we could have better understanding how the service would go. Overall, even though some unexpected event happened that we didn't end up acquire Mr. Hinz's service, I could tell from our conversation and the questionnaire accompanied the initial package that Mr. Hinz has genuine interested in his clients' needs and would do his best to satisfy specific requirements. I don't know what future holds, but I will definitely contact Mr. Hinz again should I come across the urgency to request the legal service of his expertise.

Tyler, indeed, is EXCELLENT! He is extremely professional and personable. My husband has all sorts of tough detail-oriented questions, and Tyler was thorough in his research. The legacy interview that he conducts was very special to us, and a wonderful "bonus" for our family. We breathe a sigh of relief that this process is over since we put it off for so long. Tyler made the process quick and painless! We are sooooooooooo happy to have had the opportunity to work with Tyler and would highly recommend him!!!

My wife and I were very pleased with all of the work that Tyler did for us in setting up our Living Trust. His connection with us was very personal and we both felt that his patience and clear explanation of the process made it very easy to understand. He was prompt in all of our correspondences and was available for any our questions. He was professional and at the same time genuinely interested in our unique story. We would have no reservations what so ever in referring him to others seeking guidance in the creating of a Living Trust.

Tyler is timely and professional making sure to present the pros and cons of options. Very pleased with my outcome. Thank you so much.

Tyler is a very professional and hard working attorney who provides a high level of service for his clients. He has an in-depth understanding of consumer law as well as the general procedural rules enabling him to successfully construct numerous defenses for his clients. I would not hesitate to come to Tyler with a case as he understands the magnitude of his client's legal issues and works tirelessly to achieve a successful result.

I was subpoenaed by one of those collection agencies that buys debt for pennies on the dollar and then bombards you with threatening phone calls and mail trying to scare money out of you. A subpoena could not be ignored though. I found Tyler's name in the Yellow Pages. (Yes, I still use the Yellow Pages) I called him and explained my situation. Within a day or two I was in his office going over the subpoena and discussing what my options were. After deciding to go to trial we discussed his rate. In my opinion his rate was very,Very reasonable for what was at stake in my situation. He gave me the option of an hourly or flat fee. We signed an agreement and went ahead. He filed the the Court papers, went to Court and was able to get an extension on the trial due to some discovery mistakes that were made by the collection agency. I know that many Santa Clara County Judges are not very consumer friendly in situations like this. It was a feat in itself, in my opinion, to get this extension. I truly believe this was due to Tyler's skill and commitment to consumer protection. During the extension waiting period the collection agency contacted Tyler and said they were willing to accept a lower payment than what they had originally sued for. He informed me of this and I refused. Within less than two weeks Tyler informed me that the collection agency had dropped the suit with prejudice. The "with prejudice" part, in my understanding, means they can still pursue the issue until the statute* runs out, which in my case is just a few months. It is, however, unlikely this will happen. My personal feeling is this will NOT happen because they know I will contact Tyler again and he is sincerely committed to protecting consumers. They don't like that kind of thing. Sincerely, BD, San Jose, CA *In my experience, even when any statute runs out, they will continue calling, mailing, etc. I just ignore them.

On April 1, 2013 I came in contact with Mr. Tyler S. Hinz through the recommendation of Mr. William E. Kennedy. I was looking for someone to represent me in Consumer Law. After calling around and meeting with 3 attorneys, he stood out as the appropriate person to represent me. His professionalism, down to earth personality, and interest in taking on my case were the things that won me over other attorneys who made me feel like I was simply another number for them. Mr. Hinz came across knowledgeable, courteous, and took the time to explain the process we would go through step by step. He was always willing to meet with me to answer any questions I might have. He was responsive and followed through on the things he would say he was going to do. The other attorneys I met for an initial consultation didn’t show me the same level of interest in taking on my case as Mr. Hinz did. Some of the other attorneys I met came across arrogant, uninterested in representing me, and I felt rushed during consultation. With Mr. Hinz, I never felt rushed. He provided his undivided attention when we met, and showed genuine interest in my case. Mr. Hinz went above and beyond his call of duty. He went out of his way to make things clear for me by thoroughly discussing what he would need from me, and possible outcomes we could expect depending on how the other side would respond. He explained how we would respond initially, the next steps, and possible different scenarios we could face so together we could decide the best course of action. We met on multiple occasions and I had lots of questions, yet he was always calm, pleasant, and never rushed me. He put me at ease with his knowledge and professionalism. His confidence spilled over to me, consequently, I felt confident we could resolve this, and we did. My case was dismissed with prejudice without having to go to court. We prevailed, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! I truly felt Mr. Hinz was looking out for my best interest, and he demonstrated this to me every step of the way. I can’t thank him enough for his professionalism, enthusiasm he showed in representing me, and his friendly down to earth personality. I feel I got tailored service throughout the whole process, and never felt like I was just another number for Mr. Hinz. I highly recommend Mr. Hinz to anyone seeking help in Consumer Law. Mr. Hinz will defend your case as if his own skin is at stake. He is absolutely great! My highest praise and recommendation for him, and I truly hope you consider him for any Consumer Law legal needs. He will not disappoint you. Sincerely, Rosy

Tyler is a solid professional in his field--knowledgeable, proactive, good communicator, and ready to go the extra mile to get the job done. He did an excellent job with my case, and I always felt confident that all aspects of the case were being handled in a timely manner. I highly recommend Tyler for any consumer law issues.
