Juvenile Court is a criminal court for minors. It is family law court for those adults who have children and who are not married. It is a court used by social agencies who protect children who are neglected, abandoned, or deemed to be dependent. Mr. Deardorff has practiced in the Juvenile Courts of Hamilton, Butler, Warren, Brown, and Clermont Counties since 1979. If a minor child has been charged with an offense in Juvenile Court, call my firm for immediate help.

20%
Personal Injury 20%

Although most personal injury cases settle prior to trial or even a lawsuit, it is critical to have a trial attorney prepare your case so big insurance knows you are prepared and will not take a lowball settlement. If you make the fatal mistake and hire a injury attorney that is afraid to go to trial, the insurance company will know that and use it against you. For a free personal injury consultation, please contact Cincinnati attorney Timothy J. Deardorff.

Excellent Attorney

This man has integrity. He has an unbelievable presence in the courtroom, (And I now understand how crucial this is.) He stands for justice. He is fair. And, Tim is an attorney that will FIGHT for you. I would pay this man his weight in gold because that is what he is in the courtroom: golden.

Posted by Zadok | October 21, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Bias against Fathers

He Fails to consider any of my evidence. - Police reports of Defendant not following custody orders - Medical Documentation of my child cause of autism by letting the mother vaccinate a 14 month old with 7 shots, 4 being multiple vaccination concoctions. - Lied on me ( erratic behavior in court)... to alienate me from my baby saying I need a psych eval before seeing him I have many more abuses and corruption... If you are a father STAY AWAY!!!!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1998.

Suspension For Term issued in OH, 1998

updated on 10/21/2015

Suspended for term means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Timothy’s comment:

“6 month suspension which was highly contested and re-instated in July 1999. I have been an attorney in good standing with all courts in Ohio as well as Federal courts since July 1999. I have successfully represented and litigated clients for over 36 years. I am well respected by judges in Hamilton County, fellow attorneys, and all past clients. The suspension came as a result of a client that was not my client. I have not had any clients in which I represented them file complaints.”
