Tim was licensed as an attorney in 1990. He has been practicing almost exclusively as a family law attorney for most of this time. Tim is a Board Certified Family Law attorney, which means that he has devoted a substantial amount of his practice to family law, engaging in contested trials of cases involving matters such as divorce, property division, child custody, child support, adoption, and paternity. Although Tim is an experienced litigator, and will continue to help people in court, he knows from experience, that people are better served both emotionally and financially, if they can resolve their case outside the courtroom. This is why Tim is a strong proponent of collaborative law. His general philosophy is to try and settle the case, if at all possible, and litigate as a last resort, if there are no other alternatives.

Tim knows the law. He knows it with a deeper understanding than anyone I know and he applies that understanding to get his clients the best results in court. Tim is an honest man and has a deep commitment to his integrity and to helping people when they need help. I know Tim will help clients get the best results possible in times where they otherwise feel like their world is disintegrating.

I worked for Tim as I was beginning the very fundamentals in family law and how to work for my clients. Tim was very patient, thoughtful, and provided a number of options for the client to consider in approaching the case. Tim is great in coming up with creative and alternative strategies in attempting to resolve the conflict that is often found in family law cases, providing benefits that the clients themselves may not understand until after the case is finalized. I endorse and recommend Tim.
