Defense attorney

Tim Pori is an amazing lawyer. I felt very confident and relaxed having him on my side. He does not back down and really handled my case well. I would highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Tim Pori for anyone looking for a compassionate and diligent criminal defense attorney. He’s extremely smart, hard-working and ethical. Tim’s wealth of expertise in criminal law and his passionate commitment to his clients is exactly why you should seek his help if you ever find yo...urself in the unfortunate position of needing a criminal lawyer. I wouldn’t hesitate to use his services for myself or a family member.

Lawyer on your side

If you want the best, hire Tim. A number of years ago, my police officer boyfriend assaulted me in my own home. I called the police who took my boyfriend aside and convinced him to spin this against me. They then arrested me for assault, despite the fact that I had defensive wounds. Through Tim...'s extensive forensic evidence connections, we were able to get the recordings of the responding officers talking my boyfriend into pressing charges against me and coaching him what to say. This was difficult, as the police "accidentally" deleted the files, but Tim's people were able to recover the recordings. Despite this, the judge allowed the DA to suppress this evidence. Even with all this against me, Tim was still able to get the charges against me dropped. I can only imagine what would have happened to me if not for Tim's expert defense. I would have lost my job, my professional license, and been sent to prison for assaulting an officer. This would have destroyed my life. Hire Tim. He will give you a no B.S. assessment of your situation and your options, and will vigorously defend you. Trust me, you do not want to risk your life with a Public Defender or a cheap/inexperienced attorney. Go with the best; go with Tim.

Wonderful and experienced lawyer!

It is with pleasure to be writing this review. Tim has assisted many of my clients through some of the most difficult and scary times of their lives. My clients have repeatedly told me how Tim has literally saved their lives and families. Tim is professional, extremely knowledgeable and empathetic t...o the concerns of the client. And as a bail agent, I’ve unfortunately heard a lot of different experiences from clients when dealing with different attorneys but Tim always comes through and makes sure that the clients receive the best support as possible. I highly recommend Tim if you have questions… you want be disappointed!

Wonderful attorney!

I wish I could give Tim more than five stars. I contacted Tim after I fired my previous attorney. He immediately went to work on our case. He does not waste your time or money. He is professional, definitely caring. Always answers calls and questions. Keeps you posted. Sends copies of any legal docum...ents he submits.
