Tim is an excellent attorney, and I couldn't be any more satisfied with his services. Just to give you an example of how professional Tim is: while we were in the courtroom during my case, I noticed that the other attorneys (all of which appeared to be much older than Tim) were socializing and cracking jokes amongst themselves. Meanwhile, Tim was off to the side, looking over some papers and remaining focused on my case. It was at this point I realized I had hired the right person.
Tim Fiscella was 1st rate and immediately took control of my case. He was totally transparent and honest as well as reasonable. He was able to get my case dismissed entirely which was the best possible result. Great guy, easy to talk to, honest and highly effective. Highly recommend.

Quick to Respond, Thorough, Gets the Job Done
This is my first time having worked with Timothy. He was referred to me by someone I know who also practices law. Timothy was very honest with me and quick to communicate. He told me how I could save money through legal processes and finished what I needed done in a timely manner. I would recommend him to anyone.
