Excellent Service and Support

My wife and I have used Tim and his firm for a number of years. He has provided support in the area of elder care services for my elderly mother, our personal estate planning and real estate transactions. We have always been well served by Mr. Casserly and his staff. They are attentive to our need...s, timely in their service and thorough in their efforts. We strongly recommend Tim and the firm of Burke & Casserly!

Outstanding Elder Law Attorney!

My family was in crisis with my dad hospitalized and in need of long term care. Not uncommon it seems, my parents did very little pre-planning and we were now faced with trying to preserve my parents assets while still getting dad the care he needed. Mr. Casserly was a life-saver. He put it all into ...perspective, outlined the course of action we needed to take and assisted with implementation of the plan. Whats more impressive, is that he did so with kindness, compassion and consideration for our situation and our family needs. His staff is great too. We had terrific experience working with Mr. Casserly and his entire firm in a very troubling time.

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.
