Timothy W Durkin

“Divorce is not a pleasant experience under any circumstances. At first, there is a period of disbelief and having to admit to yourself that your marriage is over. For me personally, the beginning of the end was the hardest to deal with. When I finally realized my marriage was over and I needed a competent legal team to look out for my interests and the interests of my children, attorney Tim Durkin and his team stepped up and went to work on my behalf. From start to finish, Tim and everyone at JacksonWhite were awesome to deal with. Not only did Tim and the firm provide me with excellent legal services, but they were also compassionate, understanding and supportive of me and what I was going through. This was the worst experience of my life thus far and because of the basic humanity and human compassion of my legal team, it made it easier to deal with and move on with my life, post-marriage. In the court room, I could not have picked more competent counsel. I prevailed in all proceedings and under the circumstances, my case was settled with a very favorable outcome! Tim and his team did an awesome job and I can't thank them enough for not only providing me with outstanding legal representation, but also helping me get through a very difficult time on a personal level.” - Tony M., Chandler, Az.

I met with Tim yesterday for my consult and hired him right away! He really cared about the best interest of my children and he was honest and helpful. He knows what he's doing and is very experienced and knowledgeable about family law and everything related to it. My cousin also used Tim and he got him everything he wanted plus more. I know I'll be in good hands with Tim. You should hire him and look no further!

After attempting to handle my "uncontested' divorce myself, I quickly realized I was in over my head. As soon as I spoke to Tim's assistant, Terri, I felt instantly relieved. Tim and his team held my hand through the entire process. Tim was tough when dealing with my ex and supportive with me when I would have hard days. The team was also very responsive to calls and emails. I couldn't be more pleased with the terms of my divorce. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I cannot say enough good about my experience with Mr. Durkin and his staff. I have referred friends and family to him. It is the best experience I have had with a law firm. I have worked in the legal field and have had experiences in civil, criminal, and family law cases. That said, I did not get everything I had wanted after trial either. I was able to get a clear cut case presented that represented well my interests and that of my child. The things that were the most important, especially for my child were supported by the judge, but there were things that wound up more in the middle. I felt that the judge got the truth and was able to make a decision based on the facts and evidence. My case has been ongoing for nearly 12 years and this is the first time despite rulings in my favor that I was able to get attorney’s fees. Mr. Timothy Durkin has been a friend of my family for many years. I knew him when he was a law student and worked as a college teacher. I was impressed with his teaching skills yet when he began practicing family law I continued to use a different attorney. Through the years I have used multiple attorneys. There have been times I have been charged a great deal more and received much less service and times I have paid less but also received less service. The assistants at his firm are well educated and pay great attention to detail. I first decided to switch to Mr. Durkin’s law firm after I saw him at trial. This man is quick on his feet, he knows his information and he fights for his client. I was impressed with how he handled the opposing party. My current husband struggled with the cost of my case, but after seeing Mr. Durkin in action said he would have paid more, it was worth every penny. Prior to trial he is real with you. He prepares you for questions and for possible outcomes. I didn’t go into the situation with unrealistic expectations yet I was able to be hopeful about the things that were attainable. His experience in the court room gives you great insight. He is familiar with the judges and how they handle certain situations, he knows when you need an expert and when you can depend on your own evidence. One of the most useful things I experienced is the guidance from his legal assistant on how to handle correspondence with the opposing party. I feel that documents were prepared accurately, timely, and with the sensitivity that they needed. I will continue to use Mr. Durkin on my current case and would happily use him and his staff in the future if needed for any other family law matter. I highly recommend him!
