About Timothy
Biography
When you are facing the most difficult time in your life--being accused, you need skilled advocates who have spent their whole lives preparing for the fight of your life.
Mr. Healy and our lawyers at Vindicate Law have a reputation for being the most prepared people in the courtroom. When literally everything you care about: family, freedom, livelihood and reputation are all on the line, you need a lawyer who will go to the ends of the earth and leave no stone unturned while preparing a defense that will convince the Jury to vindicate you and your life.
Police officers, women, children and others often have ulterior motives to lie and fabricate. The jury needs to understand this and understand why this happens. We are extremely skilled in getting juries to understand the how and why false allegations happen all the time. Police officers are specifically trained in how to manipulate the accused in to making false confessions and portraying innocent facts into sounding incriminating.
There are literally tens of thousands of innocent people in prison and most of the time they are there because their lawyer failed to thoroughly investigate was unprepared and unpersuasive and not skilled in the art of cross-examination.
Our lawyers have astounding success in the courtroom. To the point of jurors hugging and crying with the accused in the hallway of the courthouse after the "Not Guilty!" verdict. To the point of jurors sending a note to the judge asking of they can render a verdict against a police officer who fabricated testimony and slammed the accused's head against the car causing injury. These are the moments that our lawyers live for and achieve.
When naming our law firm we spent many, many hours and reviewed literally thousands of options, but chose Vindicate Law Group. According to Webster's Dictionary, "vindicate" is defined as, "to free from allegation or blame" and this is exactly our mission towards each and every client we proudly represent.

Hiring Tim was the best decision I made, he gave me my life back
I was falsely accused of rape in the second degree and was facing five to nine years in prison. From the time I hired Tim, until my case was acquitted, totaled not even two months. He got all charged dropped. During my arraignment I was facing $100,000 bail and jail until my trial. With Tim, I wa...

He is the consummate professional but also has ...
