"I worked with Tim on a contested estate litigation matter. His approach is professional, polite and highly-effective. He is a true credit to the legal professionalism. He was able to navigate a heated and emotional matter and advocate zealously without taking the litigation personally. Since this matter, I've had occasion to refer some cases to Tim and I hope to continue doing so in the future."
"Tim has a wealth of knowledge and experience. He always is there to provide guidance and support and is always willing to help other attorneys, both in his own office and in the community. He is a great speaker and provides entertaining and informative lectures on a variety of topics."
"I have known Tim Fennell since 2011. He was a faculty member at the NYSBA Young Lawyer Section Trial Academy when I was a student. Tim has always been gracious and affable with other people, and made me feel welcome at my first NYSBA event. Later, I had the opportunity to practice in Montgomery County Supreme Court, where the presiding judge somehow connected Tim to me and spoke very highly of Tim without question. I wholeheartedly recommend Tim to represent clients to solve their legal problems."
"Tim Fennell is a class act. Smart, practical and intellectually honest. A mature attorney for serious matters."
