Timothy G. Tonkin
The only board-certified lawyer in this city. His register records a Board Certified Legal Specialization in Injury & Wrongful Death Litigation and membership of the Trial Practice Section — two fields Arizona publishes and most states do not. His discipline field, however, carried no value at all, so it is marked not established rather than green.
The bar record
What Arizona publishes — and what it says about itself
Arizona is unusually forthcoming in two ways. It publishes a jurisdictions field with an Active or Inactive status for every state a lawyer is admitted in — something Texas, Florida and Nevada all leave to a firm bio. And it separates “admitted to practice law” from “admitted to the State Bar of Arizona”, so a lawyer who qualified elsewhere first shows two dates rather than one.
Arizona disclaims its own record. Every entry in this directory carries the line: “This website does not display all public sanctions or public information concerning a lawyer’s disciplinary history.” The Bar directs anyone wanting the complete picture to a history request form. We have not submitted one. So an Arizona “None” is a narrower statement than a Nevada one, and the Bar says so itself.
It publishes no practice areas and no fee terms, so the rideshare tag on this listing comes from the firm’s own site rather than the Bar.
