Go else where

Terrible communication. Does not give all possible information upfront. Leaves you in the dark. Seems like he just wants your money. Did not obtain promising results. Would not recommend.

Dont waste your money and time, choose another attorney

when i tried explaining my situation with evidence to Tim Cannady in our consultation he responded with disinterest and carelessness -- he yawned, scrolled through his phone and wasnt listening. He was acting like he doesnt have to listen to me and doesnt have to take me seriously. At the end of the ...consultation, he didnt give any advice at all and i felt like i wasnt heard or taken seriously. Not only that but when i hired him on and tried to schedule another consultation with him he never got back to me. Dont waste your time and money explaining your situation to him because he won't listen. choose another attorney. No one should have to deal with that.

Non communicative and unprofessional

Has been non communicative about my case, whenever I try to reach him he’s unavailable. We came to a decision regarding my case and he goes to court and nothing we spoke about in our meeting happened, the whole case got thrown out (dismissed). There was no conversation about what happened in court ei...ther, I had to find out it was dismissed when the other party breached the contract I thought I had in place against them. Come to find out, legally, they’re able to do so because my lawyer never told me anything. Why spend thousands of dollars on someone who genuinely doesn’t even care about you or your case.

The way an attorney should be

Professional, honesty and available which has always been an issue with others in the passed, always had emails and phonecalls/VM letting me know the status of my case. You want Tim in your corner, results couldn’t have been ANY better
