Amazing in the courtroom

Tim assisted me on a matter that has been ongoing for a few years. He was able to identify and grasp my situation right from the beginning. He is down to earth and "gets it". The law and family court are not friendly to victims. Tim was amazing to watch in the court room as he was able to get the... important points across in my situation, and uncover the inaccuracies that the other party was claiming without being cunning or aggressive. He has way of getting his point across that the judge listens. Without his assistance, I believe matters would not have gone in my favor. He is kind and polite to victims and is willing to have open discussions about the issues and try to come up with a possible resolution that actually would help. I am grateful to have crossed paths with him and received help that otherwise could have been drastic. He will go to bat for you when no one else will and actually listen to you.

Caution!! Ambulance Chaser!

This lawyer has been disciplined by the Bar Association and lost his license for a period of time. He has a history of filing frivolous lawsuits, missing many important deadlines, and having to pay penalties for his behavior. Caution to any client hiring this man and his firm.

Excellent work.

Very thankful for everything Tim has done. He is not only extremely professional but awesome and friendly to work with. I'm glad I had someone represent me who not only did their job effectively but also added a personal attention to detail..thanks again!

I needed a lawyer, and found a friend!

Timothy's research into my case was thorough and thoughtful. It was obvious that he had the experience and expertise I needed, but his care and concern for the human side is what really set this counsel apart. Finding an attorney with his integrity, thoughtfulness and courtroom savvy was a blessing t...o me, as I did not know which way to turn after being injured due to a landlord that did not act on my pleas for heat in the wintertime. His tenacity in the pre-trial and throughout the ordeal, and his knowledge and insight into the law and how it should protect me sent a strong message; do the right thing, or meet my lawyer, Timothy McIlwain in the courtroom! I can't recommend him highly enough even if we did lose the case (which we did not!)!

Trustworthy, Tenacious and Thorough

Tim Mcilwain always treated my issues as if they were his. He is professional, creative and charismatic. Mr. Mcilwain in my opinion is an expert in the area of discrimination/employment claims I would not hesitate to recommend him and I would definitely rather have him on my side especially durin...g a trial and depositions.
