We were in good hands with Tim Rien!

I contacted the law office of Timothy B. Rien because my son was in need of some legal counsel. Tim's office was extremely helpful and we were able to get in for a free initial consultation to discuss his case. He informed us of all of our options and advised us along the way on what were the next st...eps and what we could expect along the way. Tim and his associates were extremely professional and helped us through a rough time. We were definitely in good hands and I strongly recommend him. Thank you Tim!

He is AV rated, voted a Super Lawyer every year and of course, I had seen him on tv with some of his high profile cases making the news. Years later, I had the pleasure of meeting him professionally. I refer him matters with great confidence in his firm's professionalism."

Avvo Rating

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.
