About Timothy
Biography
My practice emphasizes insurance bad faith litigation on behalf of people who have suffered a loss to their home or business. I also help clients with personal injury matters including automobile and trucking collisions, construction accidents, and wrongful death.
I was born in Louisiana and I grew up in Texas. I received my law degree from South Texas College of Law in Houston, Texas in 2007.
I chose to go to law school because I wanted to work in a profession where I could help people. Everyday I have the opportunity to assist someone who has been wronged by forces much more powerful than they are. I relish standing up to insurance companies. Though battling such a powerful force may seem daunting, I believe it's worth the fight. My clients put a great deal of confidence in me, and its a responsibility that I take very seriously. I work hard to achieve a just result in every case.
