Best in the Lake

Through a series of unfortunate events I was involved in an accident which led to my arrest. Despite unique facts which supported my case, the prosecution saw fit to file multiple serious charges, all of which threatened my career. Mr. Cisar was recommended by several independent references from... Kansas City, St. Louis, and the Lake, all who stated he was “THE attorney” for such matters in the Lake area. Tim was quickly responsive to our contacting him, took on our case without hesitation, and was not only professional but very reassuring about our chances and the process in general. He expertly presented the facts and ultimately secured a dismissal of all charges, something for which we will forever be grateful. After our experience I would recommend Tim and his staff without hesitation to anyone who requires legal representation at the Lake - Anonymous

Great Attitude, Upfront and Honest

Was able to get a criminal charge dropped down to a misdemeanor. Didn't have to show up to court, he did on my behalf. If you have a speeding ticket or DWI, call this man he will work magic for you!

Amazing Attorney!

I cannot say thank you enough to Tim and his firm. I was facing multiple charges (including felonies) and things did not look good. But Tim was able to work his magic and make everything go away. It was absolutely amazing. And the entire time the charges were pending, he and his staff kept me upd...ated. I never had to question what was going on in my case, they kept me in the loop every step of the way. Hopefully you'll never be in my situation, but if you are, then the first call you need to make is to Tim Cisar

Excellent A+

I was 19 facing a DWI where I blew for the arresting officer well over the legal limit, he also found a beer can in my car. I didn't answer any of their questions and called Tim Cisar. Just after a month of doing so I was pleading guilty to a failure to maintain my lane. Tim Cisar has my recommendati...on.

Diligent...all evidence is subject to critical review!

I was from out of town and did not have a clue as to who I should talk to about my legal issue! When I questioned people in the area who worked as attorney's and courtroom personnel, one name continued to come up; Tim Cisar! He came highly recommended and I was soon to find out why. Upon close exa...mination of the evidence put forth against me, Mr. Cesar found an omission which set the stage for a very favorable decision on my behalf. During the entire process Mr. Cisar promptly answered questions posed in e-mails as did his support staff. He is an individual who takes his profession and welfare of his clients seriously, while at the same time he is comfortable with providing humor...often at his own expense. His perspective on life is refreshing...empathy for people tempered with the reality of the legal process!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
