Excellent Lawyer

Tim Whitten was excellent to deal with during our post-nup update. He was very knowledgeable, thorough, with a great personality! We highly recommend him.

Nicest Attorney in Austin!!!

Tim was referred to me by another attorney that I had previously worked with in the Real Estate law sector. Tim has a wonderful reputation in town serving his clients with excellence and bringing a calm and peace to a process and time in life that can be quite tumultuous. I found Tim's knowledge of... the industry and resources required to bring our case to a close to be incredibly helpful especially when the process would stall at times. Tim would bring ideas, team members and strategies to keep the process moving forward, which was invaluable! I consider Tim and his team a trusted resource that truly had my best interests at mind. If you have to go through this process as many of us will have to do, consider taking the journey with the Nicest Attorney in Austin, who will be a peaceful guide by your side - doing right by you and your family. Wishing you the best! It does get better on the other side and there truly is a brighter future as a result of this process.

Solid, honest attorney

Tim has represented me over the last 6 years during my divorce and a few ongoing child custody and support issues. His demeanor and desire to seek an amicable resolution to my divorce as well as the ongoing custody and support issues made the process that much more palatable. I am very happy with the... outcome. Divorce sucks but Tim and his team made it less painful while ensuring I received equitable treatment and splits during the process.

Grandparent Custody Case

Tim helped me get custody of my grandchild. The case involved one parent in Texas and one parent in California. Tim worked with the California DA to help bring my grandchild back to Texas. Here in Texas, he successfully got me custody. It wasn't easy, but he made it happen. Great lawyer!

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"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."

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.
