Tim Sindelar review

We have worked with Tim for over 10 years. He has been invaluable to our family in representing our son with the school system. He is extremely knowledgable and tireless in his efforts. We recommend him without hesitation.

Posted by anonymous | December 08, 2014 | Education

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.

Review for Attorney Sindelar

I would highly recommend Timothy Sindelar if you need a lawyer. Attorney Sindelar is very knowedgeable in the area of special education and helped me to work with my daughters district to secure the proper placement. We were given a great deal of information during the whole process and felt our ch...ild was well represented and with Attorney Sindelars expertise and wisdom my daughter has had a successful outcome, and hope for the future.

Attorney Tim Sindelar

Attorney Sindelar was recommended by a friend. We have been fortunate in utilizing Attorney Sindelars knowledge and experience to best serve our children's educational needs over the past 8 years! He keeps us grounded in expectations and offers solutions where none were to be found. He is skilled... at negotiating and mediating as well.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
