The REAL deal

Tim Eblen is one of the very few attorneys that actually cares about his clients with genuine concern, then actually delivers the goods without any surprises. The only surprise here is that there still are attorneys out here that tells you up front what he can, or can't do, keeps you informed, answe...rs his phone, and makes good on what he tells you. This man is a hero to me, saving me from a bleak future and garnishment. Anyone having problems with unscrupulous debt collectors or just plain debt, would be well served to go with TIM!

Sued a big company and won!

We bought a TV in January of 2012. By November of 2012 it broke. We contacted the manufacturer and they said since it was still under warranty they would replace it. Several months later we were still waiting for our new TV. We contacted Tim Eblen and he informed us of our rights. It took severa...l more months but Tim was able to get us the money we originally paid for the TV. It cost us nothing and we didn't have to deal with the headache once we placed it in Tim's hands. He was very prompt in regards to communication, etc.

excellent man to work with

Tim is a pleasure to work with, and despite the fact that we have not been able to reach our goals at this time I am confident in his abilities and will hire him if and when needed in the future.

Professionalism, integrity and caring

Mr. Eblin was willing to listen to all my questions and concerns. He has demonstrated to me not only an excellent professional attitude and knowledge but also a person who truly cares about the person he is representing and the problems and challenges that they are going through. He has gone above a...nd beyond what I have encountered with attorneys that I have worked with in the past.

Drafting will

My husband and I went to Tim to draft our will. He was extremely pleasant as well as helpful and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him and will use him again in the future.

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.
