The BEST LAWYER EVER!! Litigation and Probate Case

After explaining the case to Tim, he immediately started on the case. He formulated a plan that was to my benefit. The opposing party kept trying to delay and Tim wouldn’t allow them to. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field of practice and diligently works hard for you to get the outcome you d...esire. Tim is very prompt in answering phone calls, emails and all questions that you have during your case (even after hours). I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer!!!! Thank you Tim for a great job!

Great Lawyer

I've known Tim for many years. He's an excellent litigator who also has developed a strong estate planning and elder law practice. I endorse him without hesitation.

Estate Planning

We discussed the options related to estate planning. Tim clearly explained the various options and answered all of our questions. Tim created a will, Durable Power of Attorney, and a Health Care Directive and Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care for both my wife and myself. I am confident and ...relieved that these matters have been addressed.

Professional and expedient

Mr. McCurdy has provided me guidance on several situations. The process, in each instance, was handled with the utmost professionalism. I felt safe once I had him as my counsel. By safe, I mean guided honestly, thoroughly and professionally. I trust him and appreciate knowing I can turn to him fo...r legal matters and exhale as I walk through what needs to be handled knowing I am in good hands.
