James A Timko's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse James
Andrew Ryan Nelson headshot
Andrew Nelson

Bankruptcy and debt lawyer | Aug 23

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have known Jim Timko since 2005, both professionally and personally. Having worked alongside him, I know him to be a great "listening" lawyer. That is, he actively listens with intent to understand one's situation, rather than the intent to merely reply. This quality is more rare than one might think among lawyers, but it is utterly crucial to honest, effective legal counseling. And Jim's got it in spades."

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.
