Divorce is cripply our society. After representing people through the divorce process for close to three decades I have discovered that there is a right way and a wrong way to proceed. It stars with your attitude and a desire for peace as opposed to strife. I have discovered how love, forgiveness and integrity can greatly influence your outcome. Our court system and yes, even the attorneys, approach the divorce process as a win/lose proposition. Of course, everyone wants to win, but that means there needs to be someone who loses. The problem with that approach is you will still need to bury the hatchet at the end of the divorce. And while you’re burying your hatchet you’ll need to try and bury all your emotions and let all the pain go as well. Believe me, without help, that’s a tall order to fill.
Your decision-making should occur at the right time, after you cool off and can be forgiving; then you can emotionally make a well-thought-out decision. Have an inner circle of people you trust to go to about your decision-making, not your problems. Your friends should not be recruited because they will take your side. Those friends in all likelihood are using you for their benefit. In my old way of being, I thought more of myself and what I wanted out of the client relationship. This would naturally put me into a position of needing my client to win—my client must win, the spouse must lose, for me to feel important. This naturally resulted in me assuming the emotions of my clients. Utilizing love, forgiveness, and integrity created a new way of being for me which has resulted in joy, peace and happiness.

Tim Ash has been a savior in my life, he has guided me through the most difficult time in my life and made it bearable. His professionalism and knowledge of the law I feel is only superseded by his compassion and friendly demeanor. I never felt like a client, more like a friend was helping navigate, ...

My friend at work was going through a divorce and recommended Tim as a solid attorney he had met through church. The first day I met with Tim I knew I wanted him to represent me because the first thing he asked me was how my kids(10 and 11) at the time were doing, how they would handle everything an...

Someone close to me recommended Tim for a child custody case I brought against my ex-wife. I was so happy to have found him. The attorney that handled my divorce and first child custody case let my ex-wife and her lawyer walk all over me and gave them whatever they wanted. Tim was the opposite. ...

Reprimand issued in MI, 2007
updated on 10/17/2014Reprimand means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a public reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.
“This is an action that occurred many years ago. My relationship with a client became friendly and we socialized outside of a professional capacity. She and her spouse reconciled and he wanted the fees reimbursed, When I refused as the case had gone on over a year, there was a grievance filed. There were extreme circumstances as to my actions to befriend this client. Since this incident, my attorney client relationships are kept on a professional level and I no longer get personally involved.”
