Posted by Scott | July 18, 2026 | Hired Attorney

Gave me pushback over a hearing for holiday time sharing. Mr. Doud and opposing counsel dragged out case for profit.

I hired Tim Doud to resolve child custody issues that originated from false allegations that resulted in a dependency case that was closed. Mr. Doud failed miserably. Mr. Doud gave me pushback when I sought temporary time sharing for the holiday. When Mr. Doud and I parted ways it was difficult to ge...t the case documents I paid for. I am deciding if I will file a malpractice suit against Attorney Doud. When at least one parent is uncooperative in creating a parenting plan it provides the opportunity for attorneys to make money at the expense of the children. Greed is a sin and both opposing counsel and Attorney Timothy Doud profited at the expense of my children. My children are unhappy.

Very INCOMPETENT

The most incompetent and expensive law office my family has ever used. My mom went to this office for a divorce. Over 8K later, still no divorce and signed release and handed to Amy. After releasing this office, and paying bill in full, Amy still called & sent emails wanting payments for next part of... divorce. WE DON'T WANT TO USE YOU ANYMORE!! NO itemized bill. Just a paragraph listing what attorney supposedly did plus listed things other attorney did to add more hours to bill. When asked, in writing and two times in person, about things we know other attorney did there was no response. RESEARCH? What a JOKE!! There was none. Padded the bill way too much. Want a good attorney?? Turn and run the other way and find one. BAD ATTORNEY!!!! INCOMPETENT STAFF!!!

Don't show up without $$$ and a bigger Ego

Doud - not only does he make you feel inferior to him but without advance notice he WILL make you literally sit outside his office of your scheduled appointment and demand more money that you had no idea why or what for until you can even say a word to him! And don't fire him as an attorney because h...e fires back with whiny letters making you feel like you did something wrong. Personally Doud was more of a set back in my divorce then any kind of help. After firing him and hiring another lawyer, my divorce was finalized within 3 months with half the cost and 1/3 less the time.

Never again!

I wish that I had met the same Timothy Doud that everyone else is raving about. The man I met was arrogant, missed deadlines, was unprofessional when questioned and the office mgr was downright rude. My paperwork wasn't proofread by the paralegal and had to be redone 3 times. Don't hold your breath f...or a return call or email and if you stand up for yourself, he threatens to drop you and keep your retainer. If this is how they treat people who hand them $5,000 just to begin, I don't know how he is still in business.

RUN!!!

Hired this atty for a divorce case. In the 2yrs he never sent a bill! Decided to go to trial bc that is what his office is known for; dragging it out and running up the bill. Have him $5k for trial just to find out 9mos later he never even submitted the paperwork! Then we choose another atty and he r...efused to give me back any money! They could provide NO evidence anything was done w trial. Then sent me another 5k bill to detour me from filing a complaint w bar. Many people in spring hill have had exact same experience w him so I'm no sure where these other 5 star reviews are coming from. Ask any atty in the area and all are familiar with his tactics.
