Best Law Firm

After my wife passed suddenly earlier this year, I contacted 4 different local Law Firms about what I needed (one being the legal adoption of my disabled step daughter). Tim was the only one that didn’t give me the “run-a-round”. After discussing some of the legal things I needed to accomplish, Tim i...nformed me of a couple of other things that also needed to be taken care of. He took the time to get to know my stepdaughter and I and insured that we were both well informed on all of the aspects of our situation. I found Tim to be quite knowledgeable, and his dedication and professionalism were, to say the least, outstanding. Everything that I needed was taken care of within 2 months. I found his fees to be quite reasonable and would HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone needing legal assistance.

Great Lawyer

Tim provided excellent legal advice and services for my recent divorce. He is very knowledgeable about the process and has great relationships with others within the local legal system. The situation of my divorce was very difficult and Tim provided great support and service to meet the needs fo...r an outcome both parties could agree upon. Tim's role was crucial in bringing my divorce to the finish line. Tim was conscientious about costs and provided his expertise in my decision-making in order to minimize additional unwanted costs. I would highly recommend Tim's services to anyone in need. All in all, I am extremely satisfied with the result.

Excellant Lawyer

Tim represented me for my divorce. Tim spent the time preparing my case for trial as I was fighting having to PAY alimony. We won the case and I was very relieved that he spent endless hours preparing for trial. Tim was very knowledgable of the law and he was able to present my case in obviously ...a winning fashion. Thank You Tim for your assistance in winning the case.

Great Lawyer

Timothy Ament was a great lawyer for me. He was honest, personable, and well prepared. Tim did very well representing me, cautioned me when necessary, and fought hard for me to achieve my desired end goal. I would recommend Tim to anyone whom needs a good lawyer.

Would Definitely Recommend

I was involved in a car accident in June 2016. Tim came to the hospital to meet me with to review my case. He was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. He was always there when I needed to vent about my frustration regarding my case and always kept me in the loop of how the case was coming along.... He was quick to respond to my emails and phone calls. I would definitely recommend Tim if you are looking for a firm lawyer who will defend you and who will explain things to you in a timely matter.
