Timothy Michael Mulhere

I hired Timothy Mulhere to represent me facing a charge for PC 245 (A) (1) F Force/ADW Not firearm: GBI case involving two other suspects/defendants. Basically law enforcement alleged that I was driving a vehicle occupied by two other suspects when one or more shot a boy in the eye with a paint...ball gun while riding a bicycle producing great bodily injury (GBI). In addition, it was alleged the two suspects went on foot to shoot paintballs and BB’s from a BB gun at property and vehicles in violation of PC 594 (A). The two suspects were later arrested and law enforcement recovered a paintball gun and BB gun from the two suspects. Since law enforcement did not believe that I was not involved with the other two suspects they tried to add an additional charge of conspiracy PC 182 to the case which was later struck down. Private counsel Timothy Mulhere did nothing to dispute or challenge the weak evidence and car of the prosecution. Fact(s): 1. Law enforcement never seen or established I or my vehicle was at the scene of the alleged crime(s). Made inference based on pure speculation and hearsay. 2. The alleged victim stated he saw a gold SUV possible a Chevy Blazer. I drive a gold Chevy S10 pick-up truck. Two distinctly different types of vehicles. Victim’s initial statements made to law enforcement and positive field identification completely contradict one another. Plus victims alleged eye injury should have came into question of accurately making a positive field identification or any claims. 3. I was never found with or possessed any weapon, or accused of possessing a weapon. Nor was I ever identified or accused of having any connection or association with the alleged victim(s). The only matter of evidence pending against me were the alleged two paintballs and paint splatter that was allegedly on my vehicle. The two paint balls could’ve been dropped there by the suspects without me knowing or planted by law enforcement themselves when searching my vehicle. The paint splatter could’ve been place by the suspects or law enforcement given the amount of time my vehicle was left unattended. Law enforcement claimed the paint splatter was wet which would be hard to believe given the physical properties and amount of time it takes paint splatter to dry. Based on these circumstances any competent or reasonable attorney would have moved or motioned to challenge the alleged charges and facts pertaining to the case. I’m not sure if he read or even attempted to read the police report or did any due diligence to investigate the weak evidence and speculative hearsay evidence of law enforcement and the DA. Private counsel Timothy Mulhere did absolutely NOTHING!!! During preliminary stages he was hard to reach and did not provide much information or insight into what was taking place. Results: Private counsel Timothy Mulhere advise me to take a plea deal and plead no contest which was a huge mistake given the circumstances and weak evidence against me. I was convicted and placed on probation for 3 years for a crime I never committed all due to the incompetence and lack of efficient counsel and representation of Private counsel Timothy Mulhere. Today I’m still suffering and paying for Mr. Mulhere’s incompetence and horrible advice of taking the plea deal. Mind you this took place in 2010. I would not have even given him one star but I guess you have to for rating purposes not sure. Complete waste of $4,000 + dollars to end up with the results that I did given the facts and circumstances of the evidence against me. I would not recommend hiring Timoth Mulhere based personal experience and lack of performance. Not worth the money or time. Especially if he’s not going to do the job.

Hard to reach, NEVER AVAILABLE. wouldn't even return a text, let alone a phone call or text, waste of $ since public Def would've accomplished the same. When he did respond, it was usually a text snapping at me to stop contacting him because he's busy. Hired him in 2011 (Tustin). I appreciate busy ...lawyer schedules, but really?

Had a .02 and got convicted of a wet reckless, which later turned into a 2nd DUI. and screwed me bigtime Multiple lawyers told me that the .02 should have been thrown out by a lawyer who spend more time on it, and that I probably would have gotten the same result if I saved the fee and just used the... court appointed lawyer. Nice guy but never got the feeling he spend a lot of time on my case.

I was appointed Tim Mulhere by the law firm Wallin &Klarich in Tustin. We went over my case only a couple of times and he just sat there shaking his head and did not say much. When the time came for Tim Mulhere to represent me in court he was not prepared at all. The DA asked for an emergency hearing... to take me into custody early. Tim shook like a leaf while staring at the fraudulent paperwork the police dept submitted to the court calling me a terrorist and that I was trying to go after police and other people in my case. Instead of arguing my case he stuttered and did not have anything to say to the judge. I wanted to jump up speak in my behalf and deny what they were saying about me but, Tim told me to keep quiet. A lot of good that did for me because he barely spoke either. I was taken into custody that day and lost my job and home. I would not recommend this attorney to my worst enemies.

Tim is honest and ethical. I found him to be refreshing after working with two other attorneys. He took the time to listen and gave us good and accurate advice and information every single time we talked. He was able to get a reduced sentence with probation and no additional loss of driving licens...e. He never made us feel bad or inferior. He was respectlful and worked very hard for us on the case. I would highly recommend Tim.
