Tim Mahoney is the best
I recommend Tim Mahoney and his staff. He is very professional and also is a down to earth person who cares about you and is very easy to talk to and he will help you any way he can. I can call him still after he helped my family with our case with any situation and ask him anything and he will guide me in the right direction! The best attorney I have had!

He did what he promised.
At the end of the day Tim did what he said he would, he won my case after 2.5 years of the waiting game and personal issues - he did what he promised he would do. Legal team is great, Tim was always available to talk everything out and let me in on everything. Trusted relationship. Yes there were bumps on the other end that had me frustrated, Tim worked it all out and came through like he promised!

Mr. Mahoney's help with my dog bite case.
Mr. Mahoney took on my case with knowing it was going to be hard to prove that the damages were true. The papers I had from the hospital failed to write down all the sickness that had occurred . Mr Mahoney sent endless hours on his own looking up all my meds and side effects that were caused from mixing these meds together. He proved this on his own time and no sleep. My own family would not have done this for me. But Tim did. He called me on a regular basis to keep me informed on Everything that was going on. I never felt a worry that he was not going to help me 100%. If I Ever need a lawyer for any reason...I hope he will be there again. Wonderful man.

Hire Tim Mahoney
Tim represented us on a person injury case. We found Tim and his staff to be very knowledgeable and professional. He was always available to answer questions. Tim kept us completely informed as our case progressed and we were very impressed with his attention to detail. His thorough preparation for our trial allowed us to settle in mediation. Tim is a lawyer who you can call any time day or night and he will be available to discuss your needs. I would highly recommend hiring Tim Mahoney for your personal injury case.
