Tim knows better than anyone else the tactics the police and prosecution uses, so he knows and understands how things roll if your ever facing a legal tsunami.

Tim was very professional from my initial phone call to conclusion of my case. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again and would definitely recommend Tim for anyone looking for a Lawyer.
"I wholeheartedly endorse Tim Verhoff. I am a former assistant district attorney. I have had cases against Tim when he was a district attorney, I have co-counseled criminal cases with Tim. I have referred complicated criminal cases to Tim. He is extremely smart, caring about his clients, experienced and honest. These are among the most important traits any client would want in their criminal defense lawyer."
"Tim Verhoff is a terrific attorney and a wonderful colleague. Both when he was at the District Attorney's office and now that he is a defense attorney he knows the law, knows the people and gets great results. I can't recommend him highly enough!"
"I first met Attorney Verhoff when he was my Evidence professor. It quickly became obvious that he was extraordinarily knowledgeable and experienced in criminal law; he took great pains to make sure we didn't just learn the rules of evidence, but that we learned how to use them as tools to serve our clients’ interests. Since that time, I have had the opportunity to observe him in action. From his first contact with a case through its final resolution, he treats his clients with dignity and respect, and leaves no stone unturned in advancing their interests. I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer."
