This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Beyond Excellent

I very highly recommend Tim Fitzgerald and while I hope I don't need an attorney again any time soon he will be the first person I call if another issue arises. He very clearly understood the situation and my particular needs, always responded quickly, and in many cases it seemed like he was reading... my mind. His ability to always think one step ahead of the opponent made our conversations successful and to the point. To top it off he has a great personality, which isn't required in his line of work, but it certainly eased some of the stress of the situation. He even took the time to speak with me on the phone after business hours when I was very upset about the ordeal I was going through. Definitely not required, but it meant the world to really feel like someone was on my side during a very stressful situation. I cannot say enough great things about this guy. When my company, the company Tim helped me fight so hard to get back, hits it's first million dollar mark, Tim and his family will definitely be getting an invitation to our celebratory BBQ! Seriously, hire this guy.

Sensitive Family Matter

Timothy and his team not only provided great service but also understood the sensitivity of my family dispute and provided guidance based on my struggle with having to work through the pro's and con's of this challenge. I highly recommend Timothy Fitzgerald.

Trusted Advisor for Over a Decade

: I have been in the business of commercial real estate development my entire professional life, and have worked with many lawyers during that time. For the past decade, however, I have routinely turned to Tim Fitzgerald for representation and advice. During that time, Tim has successfully represe...nted my interest in numerous business and litigation matters across the country, many involving complex and high-stakes legal issues. Although Tim possesses the all of the qualities one would expect from an attorney operating at the top of the profession – intelligence, confidence, tenacity, clarity, efficiency – what has set Tim apart over the years is his passion for the practice of law. I do not hesitate for moment in recommending Tim’s legal services, particularly with respect to complex commercial litigation matters

very helpful during a difficult time

Nobody wants to have to hire an Attorney, but unfortunately some conflicts can only be solved civilly through legal action. Mr Fitzgerald is a fighter and a winner. There were many good reasons why Tim and his team should not have taken my case, but he did. He took a very grim situation and made... it positive for me while taking the time to explain everything i didn't understand, even when i was distressed and panicked. If your problem is complex or even dire, there is nobody I would trust more to try to help resolve it. I hope i never need his help again but if i do, i'm talking to Mr Fitzgerald first.

Litigation lawyer | Jul 07

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Tim is an outstanding litigator who deftly navigates complex matters by acting both as a zealous advocate for his clients and a shrewd negotiator with opposing counsel. His trial and arbitration skills are exceptional, and he has successfully represented a substantial number of corporate and individual clients in a broad range of complex civil cases including matters involving securities litigation, professional liability, intellectual property disputes and employment contract issues. Together (a small trial team, led admirably by Tim) we obtained an outstanding result for a client who was wrongfully terminated by a large corporation. Tim is a first-rate trial lawyer and I wholeheartedly endorse him, as a friend and former colleague."
