About Timothy
Biography
I went to law school in the 1970s because I wanted to change the world. I was fortunate to be able to work in public interest law for 25 years, working in legal aid programs in Nebraska, West Virginia, Worcester and Fitchburg. I ended my public interest career at the Disability Law Center where I discovered a deep and abiding interest in special education and a love for the families of children with disabilities that I represented. I left DLC in 2002 to concentrate on the representation of children with disabilities. Over the years, my life has been enriched by the families that I have met. I work hard to repay what I have learned over the years to the community of parents and individuals with disabilities.

Very knowledgeable, very helpful, can improve interpersonal skills
Brilliant, extremely knowledgeable in field, very dedicated to helping our family with our special education issue. He is obviously passionate about this area of law and seemed very concerned about us. He can sometimes be gruff and hard to deal with when under stress.
