About Timothy
Biography
I have been doing General Practice Litigation in many areas of law since 1996 in Metro-Detroit and Southeast Michigan.

I have offices in Novi, Troy, Bloomfield Hills, Southfield as well as my main location in Livonia. Always a free phone consultation and in office consultations are by appointment only.
