Some relief simply from consultation
For the past several month's, i've been going back in forth with my rental community for faulty (and recently discovered hazardous/illegal installations) water heater issues. I spoke to Mr. Leahy and he explained what my options were and the benefit of each one. The tone and conversation with him d...

A true professional in every sense of the word
Tim's professionalism, persistence, and ability to convey nuanced legal issues both to me and my family were of great comfort and support during a protracted, contentious and complex estate property partition case. I could not have asked for better counsel, and am truly satisfied with the results.

Honest & responsible
He is one of those rare lawyers who really looks after YOU. During my long legal battle, he was my voice of reason. He always kept me informed of consequences of my decisions and tried to work things out with my best interest in mind.

Timothy Patrick Leahy's Lawyer Endorsements
"Tim did a great job holding my feet to the fire! He was opposing counsel in a DC family case involving military family issues, and complex custody challenges. He was not only professional, but he was fair, and demonstrated excellent client management. He gave enough to keep the negotiations going, but held back enough to ensure his client was ably represented. Through his work, both parties saved on the cost of a full trial. I might also add that he has a good sense of humor, is entirely approachable, and knows the law cold. When he is unsure about a given fact or reference, he indicates it and requests time to research the matter. Refreshingly civil and easy going, I highly recommend Tim to anyone seeking representation in family law in DC or MD."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer with enthusiasm - I was the mediator in a case that was resolved. Tim was thoriughly prefessional and an excellent advocate"
"I recently had the opportunity to work with Mr. Leahy on a family law matter. He was professional, extremely capable and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him."
"I have worked with Tim on many matters throughout the years. He is a skilled negotiator and an excellent litigator. He is the one I would trust with my own legal needs or those of a close family member."
"I endorse this lawyer."

"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Tim Leahy performed magnificently as my co-counsel in complex litigation. He located the expert we needed to make our case, waded through thousands of pages of documents to identify the key elements of the case, and pressured the other side into settlement. He was also easy to work with; we teamed together well. He is excellent dealing with others, be it clients, opposing counsel or others."
"I endorse this lawyer - Tim is an exceptionally dedicated attorney with great insight into how to manage a case successfully."
