Up for any challenge.....

Tim Simonson changed my families lives for the better. Does Tim sound like he knows what he is talking about? Check Does Tim explain it calmly to you so you can feel confident in the next step of your case? Check Does Tim keep his emotions in check so that he can work on the case to the best... of his abilities? Check Things to look for in a lawyer is being comfortable around them which is easy around Tim. A clear structure of payments due which is broken down per bill. Plenty of communication and availability which is what you will get from Tim. I can call Tim right now and fully expect he'd pick up the phone. In the off chance he's already with a client I'll get a call back within the hour. He's awesome. Heck our Judge had no idea what they were doing and was making the wrong calls according to the law. A lesser lawyer would have LOST that case and my family would be split right now in two different states. Tim set that Judge straight. Think about that. That Judge has to have a Giant sized Ego at this point and the last thing on earth they want to do is admit they were wrong. That's quite the uphill battle but we're all together here because he was up to the challenge. The internet can be a negative place sometimes. Go look at the "Yelp" reviews for your favorite restaurant. Search by rating then hit it again to get the lowest ratings first....go ahead...I'll wait. Back, good. Notice how many people HATE your favorite restaurant, sad isn't it. Which is why you can't use online reviews for anything, even this one. You have to go do this in person. Go meet with Tim and you'll be happy you did.

Divorce case

Tim is a meticulous lawyer, always dotting the "I"s and crossing the "T"s, making sure there are no holes in the case. He is very caring and knowledgeable. Tim prefers to settle things amicably and peacefully. I was determined to head straight to trial and Tim convinced me that that wasn't the best c...ourse of action for my case. The end result was highly in my favor! I will definitely consult Tim on any legal matters that should arise in the future.

Tim Simonson- Divorce Case

Overall I was very happy with the job Tim did. I chose Tim after interviewing 4 lawyers for the case, because of his calm demeanor, his ability to explain what the process would be like, and his approach to attempt to resolve the case as amicably as possible. Unfortunately the other party chose to m...ake the process about as difficult as they possibly could with what should have been a simple case. Not only did Tim work diligently to try and resolve the case, he was also sympathetic towards how unrealistic & difficult them being was effecting my legal fees. He was both flexible and creative in trying to find ways to save me costs. I trust Tim to the point which I still reach out to him with quick legal questions, many on other topics.
