You are in the best of hands with Tim Broderick.
I have talked to a few attorneys about my case as its a very nasty defamation case. Tim really went out of his way to try to help and coach me and even assisted in preparing me on a small claims case. Tim is very sharp, compassionate, and knowledgable. It was refreshing to talk to somebody who seemed like they really cared and genuinely wanted to help.

Grateful for such an intelligent, responsive, patient Attorney!
I was referred to Timothy Broderick, and feel both grateful and lucky, as my particular case has been challenging and time consuming. I am grateful for Timothy and his team of hard working, bright professionals, and recommend him highly, as I respect him with high regard. I actually couldn’t more impressed with Timothy's sheer talent, intelligence and patience regarding challenging this 'loan gone wrong’ money collection case. Although Timothy Broderick's firm is known for representing clients in sexual harassment claims, he has experience, professionalism and follow through with money collection as well. I got myself into a situation with a friend who borrowed money (short term bridge loan) and refused to pay it back. Timothy was a thorough attorney and had to jump through many hoops in order to get her served, and to show up in court. He represented me during the deposition, mediation and then in court for our court date that she was prowess at delaying. Timothy was prepared, professional and I WON in court. That was 9 months ago and he continues to diligently work to ensure that payback will occur. Lending money to a dear old friend of 20+ years and then being screwed over, has created a certain level of shame and confusion on my part, since I was not reimbursed as promised. Once I put this in Timothy's hands, I felt an overwhelming relief since he reassured me that he would deal with this as a true professional, and fight for me on my behalf. This piece of mind, combined with his winning the case has allowed me to move forward with my life with confidence.

Excellent legal representation
Broderick-Saleen Law Firm is an exceptional firm made up of a group of incredible professionals. I was looking for representation in regards to some very bad things happening to me and to my business. I do not believe it was an accident that I was lucky enough to fall into the competent arms of Broderick-Saleen. Besides offering superb guidance, the members of this firm are kind and thoughtful even on their most busy of days. My every experience with Tim and his partner Katrina as well as Sally and the rest of the staff has been a rewarding and comforting exchange. I will look back on a very stressful and disheartening period in my life and remember the care and consideration given me by Tim Broderick and his team and recall even on the darkest days, how I was always made to feel safe and my welfare an utmost concern. I feel not only that Tim Broderick is a great legal mind, but also that he is my friend and for that, I am very grateful. Cindy Reunion Rescue

Competent, Thorough, Responsive
Mr. Broderick has handled several legal issues for me over the past 5 years and he made things as painless as possible. Moving forward with any legal matter can be very stressful, but Mr. Broderick spelled out in detail what would be required of me and what I could expect along the way.

Dependable Lawyer
I used Mr. Broderick on 3 different occasions and each time he came through exactly as I had hoped. Two of the times were for employment issues (discrimination et al) and one was for partnership. Mr. Broderick did his homework each time, was well-informed of the law, and did not exaggerate my chances either direction in either of the employment issue cases (the other was not a case). Overall, very trustworthy.

Compassionate and Brilliant Legal resolution
Tim Broderick is intelligent, knowledgeable, resourceful; genuinely concerned, and even reassuring. An outstandingly competent Lawyer. I had a difficult, and personally painful, case. I consulted other lawyers who gave me little hope that promises made would be honored, even though witnessed, for redress. Years earlier I had naively signed a document, without reading or understanding its implications. Tim Broderick helped me to set realistic expectations and then he won the case on that basis. I was despondent, scared, and angry. He listened and then presented workable ideas on how to proceed with my case. It gave me reason to hope. I appreciate his optimistic and sensible approach. He let me know that there was help to get me through; and I wasn’t alone. He has a great staff, they really shine! They listened, kept me on schedule, were prompt with all necessary work and documents, and helped me to stay focused and positive. (which was difficult) Best of all Tim helped me put a painful chapter of my life behind me. I find it difficult to convey how much I admire and appreciate him. Thank you, Tim Broderick, you’re the Best!

This law firm is knowledgeable, compassionate, patient and effective.
I sought legal assistance from Tim Broderick's firm when undergoing sexual harassment in the workplace. This was my first encounter with anything of the sort and my first time seeking legal counsel and Tim and his team were incredibly patient, walking me through the process and making sure I was well informed before I made any decisions. They even took the time to speak to my family, acknowledging that pursuing legal action was a family decision and understanding that I would want my family's support before proceeding which I thought was very respectful. Once i had decided to pursue legal action, they were quick to refer me to a psychologist specializing in sexual harassment who was incredibly supportive and that I maintain a relationship with today. Over the course of negotiations with my employer, both Tim Broderick and Katrina Telfer were careful to keep me informed at each step, and to explain the implications of both their actions and those of the opposing counsel. While offering advice at each turn, they were also very sure to maintain that the ultimate decision was in my hands and gave me the tools I needed to make what I felt were the right decisions. My situation was perhaps unique in that my employer was quite rash and made unpredictable decisions and actions throughout the negotiations and I feel that Tim and Katrina had a excellent grasp on the proceedings, often predicting their next move and anticipating the best action to evoke a desired response. Even with such an unpredictable apposing counsel, they were able to steer negotiations to my benefit in an incredibly efficient manner and with a favorable outcome. I think perhaps the most notable aspect of my experience with Tim Broderick and Katrina Telfer was the compassionate and educational manner in which they conducted the proceedings. The sexual harassment that I suffered was the most negative and hurtful experience I can recall, yet I felt better as soon as I knew that I had competent representation and continued to feel better as things progressed. Tim and Katrina literally wrote the book on Sexual Harassment in California and they gave me a copy so that I could learn about cases they referenced that were pertinent to my decision making and to come to terms with the physical and emotional side effects of such harassment. They always guided first with information, and then with advice and I was completely comfortable with each turn in the process. I strongly recommend Tim Broderick's law firm to any individual seeking competent and compassionate representation. As I said before, I had zero experience with legal proceedings and they were incredibly patient in guiding me in the process, taking time to account for my sometimes emotional state and making sure I was well informed before making any decisions. The end result was favorable and they were careful to cover all my bases, monetarily and otherwise, to negotiate a quick and resolute end to my employment as I wished.
