Client:
I had the unfortunate circumstance of being arrested for a Third DWI offense in Northern, New Jersey in December of 2009. I quickly rushed to acquire a competent attorney. I needed someone who would guide me through this difficult process. It lasted for five months ending in May of 2010. John Tierney's diligence, perseverance and competency throughout the entire legal process was second to none. He was straightforward, honest and extremely knowledgeable concerning the DWI laws in New Jersey. I would highly recommend him.
Client:
I have known John ("Jay") Tierney for the past 5 years and have had dealings with him on both a personal and professional basis. He has defended my son on several occasions, both as a juvenile, and as an adult, and I have found his ability as a defense attorney to be excellent.
Jay has a broad knowledge of the law and his past experience as a Prosecutor gives him a tactical advantage in criminal proceedings over less experienced attorneys. He is very diligent when defending a case, and constantly in contact with his clients. He even returned one of my phone calls when he was on vacation. I have found his "quiet but, persistent" approach to handling negotiations with prosecutors to be extremely effective. One of Jay's greatest assets is his unique ability to guide the layman through the complex intricacies of the law. He explains every charge, defense strategy, and likely outcome in great detail, making the defendant's final decision very easy.
I strongly recommend the Law Office of John Tierney to anyone needing legal counsel. After dealing with Jay and his associates, you too will be a satisfied client.
Client:
Recently I was asked to comment on an individual. Typically I do not feel comfortable with doing this, however, when I found out it is John Tierney; I did not think twice about it. This is one guy that deserves accolades.
John and I go back about 5 years now. From the first day I met him I knew he was the type of individual I wanted to get to know better. Little did I know John would be my legal representative for a DWI charge.
John guided me through every step. He did not miss anything. His effort, knowledge, long hours, and attention to detail prevailed in getting me a reduced charge to reckless driving.
This is about a good man doing a good job and believing in the judicial system. Believe me when I tell you that there are still individuals out there with character and ability. He is not in it just for himself. In fact he really cares and believes in the judicial system.
During the nine months it took the court to make a ruling on my case, John not only took time to understand me, but also took time to understand my family situation as well.
If he had any doubt in the legal system I am sure he would not have been able to find the minor detail that was overlooked by the prosecuting attorney and officer. Even the Judge was surprised with what John found. None of them found the evidence of the statutory and constitutional violation that John found. I call it good old fashion work ethic.
John has been practicing law for twelve years and is already recognized and well respected in his profession. The judge ruling on my case knew John and only had good things to say about him. The judge even acknowledged to me that he is a good lawyer who is well respected and more importantly a good man.
If I am ever again faced with a circumstance that required legal representation, I would not hesitate to recommend or contact John for his assistance and guidance.
Regards,
Client
