Tim provided excellent representation

Tim provided excellent representation before, during and after my divorce. He was very professional, detail-oriented and attentive. He made a difficult time in my life a lot easier to deal with. He was able to handle any issues that arose, and responded very quickly to any concerns I had. He was avai...lable via phone, email or text message. He even made himself available to answer questions for my ex. I highly recommend him, as I know he does an excellent job for his clients.

Tim Ash, OUTSTANDING Lawyer

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 His professionalism and knowledge of the law I feel is only superseded by his compassion and friendly demeanor.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, ...understand and handle some very dark days. He is now a friend and I recommend him to everyone, for his service, counsel, and his personal character.

Doing what's right!

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...d what I felt was the most important thing in my kids lives to make sure they were whole.....he said first and foremost he would do what he and the court felt was right for my kids. With that being said, it was most important for the kids in our situation to have both parents involved in raising them to adulthood. Tim was able to use to use his skills and expertise in dealing with the divorce and the emotion and turn it into a family decision and one that has paid dividends with 50 percent custody. He helped structure a decision that was good for everyone involved and created an environment for my children and I to move on and grow as a broken family. Even though we were broken, you would never know it by talking with my children and those close to my ex and I. In the years that followed, Tim was there to point me in the right direction into my kids high school years. Whenever I came to Tim and asked his advice, he always put me back on point and asked me what is the best solution for me AND my kids. For that, I am forever thankful.

Excellent and Trustworty!

I came to Tim with a Child Custody case and after only a short period of time started to see positive results. I felt completely comfortable and confident with how he could help my case. He devoted a great amount of time and kept me well informed throughout the entire process of what was happening. H...e was also very easy to reach if necessary, which is not very common. Knowing that Tim is also a man of incredible faith only made this process so much easier, as I was able to completely trust in him. After many years and excellent, positive results Tim has become much more then my attorney, but a wonderful friend. I would HIGHLY recommend Tim Ash!

Excellent Attorney and Great Friend!!

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. ... He took the time to meet me and my son's maternal uncle (his mother's brother) before he would even accept the case. I thought that was awesome because in reality he didn't know me or whether I was being honest in bringing a custody motion against my ex-wife. He does have a regular startup fee but asked me if I could afford it. That made me realize he is not motivated by money unlike my previous attorney. Tim was always prepared for court and never laid down and accepted what my ex-wife and her attorney wanted. He really cared what happened with my son and was a true advocate for him. I believe Tim was such a great representative for me and my son because he is such a compassionate and empathetic individual. He would spend hours preparing me and my witnesses before each hearing to try to ensure that the outcome would be in my son's best interest. I know he never charged me for all the time he would spend on my case. I don't know if this is a regular practice with Tim but I truly appreciated this because I am just a simple working class man. I feel the need to point out that Tim is an honest lawyer. I realize that lawyers often get a bad rap and most lawyers are considered dirty but Tim is not among them. He is a devout Christian and it shows. He feels that what he does is in service to God and families. I value this characteristic even though I am not a Christian and do not have the same religious beliefs. He has earned my respect and friendship for how he represented me and my son. Because of this, I have contacted Tim a couple of times since he originally represented me when I have a legal question. He would give me advice and my options over the phone and I would ask him what I owed him and his answer was "nothing" because he feels he was giving advice to a friend. Of course, my questions did not lead to a motion with family court. He is a great attorney and awesome man!! I highly recommend Tim to anyone who wants an ethical and credible attorney.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2007.

Reprimand issued in MI, 2007

updated on 10/17/2014

Reprimand 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.

Timothy’s comment:

“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.”
