Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I heartily endorse Tim Sellers. I have known Tim for many years - as a friend, a colleague and even as opposing counsel. Tim is a leader among the legal community and serves as a resource for other attorneys in his areas of expertise due to his knowledge and experience. His reputation for integrity and conscientious service is sterling and his influence extends beyond the private practice of law.
