“He literally saved my family and I could never thank him enough.”
Last year my wife and I went through the most difficult year of our lives. We were falsely accused of horrendous child abuse by the mother of my sons, with whom I had separated in 2013, and with whom I share custody of my children. My wife and I endured nearly eight months of total separation from the kids, all while defending ourselves from unthinkable and disgusting accusations. The stress was unimaginable and the legal threat was all too real. Seeing we were in for a fight, we hired Tim based on his online reputation. I can say without hesitation that his reputation is well deserved. Tim was always available and supportive. He deftly navigated the highs and lows of that terrible time and restored my sons to us. He literally saved my family and I could never thank him enough. It’s clear that he is a skilled lawyer, but what’s more important, he has shown himself to be a good man. He is kind and understanding and extremely prepared. He is smart and he is gracious. You can tell he loves his family and he believes in justice for those he defends. I am eternally grateful to him and wish him continued success.
