best lawyer in the world

Mr. Timothy is very knowledgeable of the laws and will defend you until your case is resolved. He has been the greatest lawyer I have had. If you need a lawyer count on Mr. Timothy. He is honest, great people skills and has the best work ethic. He took care of me from day one and I did not have to lo...ok for further assistance.

Tim Richardson Review

I couldn't be more satisfied with the services provided by Tim. From the first consultation, I knew he was the right attorney to take my case. He sat with me and took the time to listen to the details of my charges and immediately put me at ease and gave me a clearer vision of where I stood legally.... He quickly identified the strengths of my case and formulated a solid defense. In the end, my case was won and charges were dropped. I would highly recommend Tim to anyone, including friends and family who may find themselves in an unfortunate legal situation.

Services Rendered...

I was referred to Mr. RIchardson to defend me in a DUI case. He always answered my questions in a timely fashion and was upfront and honest with me throughout the entire process. I was amazed on the positive outcome and results of my case. Mr. Richardson is a lawyer who does what he says and is on... point. I would highly recommend that anyone needing a lawyer, at least, consider him and meet him for an initial consultation. MM

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
