Biography
Timothy Griswold is an experienced attorney licensed in Texas and has practiced law continuously since 2008 and brings a calm, strategic approach to resolving complex legal matters—both in and out of the courtroom.
Tim focuses primarily on family law matters, including divorce, custody, property division, and marital agreements. He also selectively handles estate planning and civil litigation cases involving high-stakes personal or financial issues. His courtroom experience and practical judgment help clients resolve disputes efficiently while protecting what matters most.
In addition to his legal background, Tim is a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Air Force Reserves and previously served as an in-house JAG officer for over five years on active duty. He deployed to Iraq from 2003–2004 and brings that same discipline and focus to his civilian legal work.
