Tim handled a fake TRO case for me, and obliterated the petitioner at trial. Got my attorney fees awarded in a motion afterwards as well. 5 Stars!

Criminal
My son was arrested, Tim took the case. My son could have went to prison for a long time. Tim used his expertise in criminal law, and did an out standing job in defending my son. Instead of years we did 6 months, and 2 years informal probation. I highly recommend Tim.
