I felt unheard by Mr McGuire

Mr McGuire didn’t seem to hear what I said. He brought up solutions that were already shot down by me. He didn’t bill monthly and when asked we had already used up the retainer. As a woman I felt like he was not on my side and I felt like a lot of details he should have bought slipped by. I would not... recommend Mr McGuire especially if you are a woman. Good Luck.

Very Competent

I recently hired Tim to represent me in a family matter. Tim was able to obtain a positive outcome to the case that lasted over 1 year. He has a thorough understanding of the law and he knows how to apply that knowledge to get results. I hate paying lawyers as much as the next guy, but at least Tim i...s very fair with his time keeping and does not over charge like some attorneys do.

Excellent Counsel in Sensitive Child Custody Case

I hired Tim as my attorney post-judgment in my divorce. Tim provided excellent counsel and was instrumental in helping me protect my children in a sensitive custody situation. Tim devised creative solutions in my case and helped me successfully navigate the often difficult court process, including ...an instrumental change of venue. Tim was always very responsive, explained the legalities of my situation and helped me devise both a short and long term strategy with the goal of ensuring my children's safety always paramount. Tim's fees were definitely the best money I ever spent, as nothing is more important to me than my children's well being. Tim is smart, sympathetic, caring and does not waste time. I highly recommend hiring him for your family case.

Great partner in my divorce process & aftermath

Tim always strives for the right outcome, not the right way to generate billable hours. He successfully coached me through the settlement of my divorce. He has also provide great counsel as issues have come up in the post divorce period. I would highly recommend working with Tim.

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.
