Why Have a Knowledge Base?
At Tingen Law, we believe that a good client relationship is an informed and empowered client relationship. We want you to know what’s going on in your case, and what we’re doing for you.
Our growing library of more than 500 legal articles demonstrates our commitment to transparency with our clients.
Ranging from Immigration Law to Criminal Defense, Virginia Divorce to Personal Injury, our Knowledge Base provides quick, accessible, and educational legal information to tens of thousands of visitors every single month.
We edit all of our content on a quarterly basis and adhere to strict editorial guidelines to ensure that our articles provide the most up-to-date and accurate information.
Over the past few years we’ve received website visits, phone calls, and questions about our articles from other lawyers and even law enforcement.
Our firm takes pride in the trust we’ve built not only among our clients, but throughout Virginia’s legal community.
By carefully curating and updating our already-extensive Knowledge Base, we hope to offer our extensive trust and experience to you as well.
