Tim is THE MAN

Working with Tim Fonseca was an absolute pleasure. He was completely professional, knowledgeable, patient and communicated with me throughout the process. He under promised and over delivered which is the opposite of most people in life. He prepared me very well for the process and for elements of... the process like the depositions and doctor's visits. Tim is very likeable, easy to work with and very responsive. I would highly recommend Tim to anyone in a similar situation.

The Best!

I liked Timothy from the moment he introduced himself to me. He was very personable & yet professional. I had complete confidence in him and he was upfront and honest with me in regard to my case. I was not expecting much but as a result of Timothy's hard work I did win the case. I highly recommend ...him to anyone who needs an attorney.

Excellent Lawyer who is very professional and fights to get the best possible settlement.

We hired Mr. Fonseca in a unfortunate car accident. He got my car fixed promptly. He also got a more then fair settlement for my wife and I. He is nice,fair and easy to talk to. We highly recommend him.

Excellent experience with Tim Fonseca

Tim Fonseca was hired by my landscape firm to help us defend ourselves against an advertiser who ran the wrong ad, but still wanted to be paid in full. Tim Fonseca exceeded our expectations, and we were very happy with the settlement he was able to aggressively negotiate.

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.
