Tim handled all the legal work for the sale of our business.

Tim was always eager to explain and guide us through what would have been a very stressful situation..He responded quickly to all our questions and concerns. I will use him for all my legal needs.

Review from a client

I've known Tim since the late 1960's and he has handled all my legal needs since he was licensed. I've never hesitated to refer Tim to friends or family, for legal, tax, estate planning, or accounting advice. He was always at the top of his class, and continues to have a keen mind. His tax a...nd accounting background are a great mix.

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.
