About Timothy
Biography
Since becoming a lawyer in 1993, I have completely dedicated myself and my practice to the defense of those charged with criminal misconduct. For more than 20 years the vast majority of my practice has been helping people avoid the drastic and often times unfair consequences of a DUI conviction.
To many, a DUI charge feels like an over whelming burden that will drastically changes their lives. It does not have to be. My practice is founded on the belief that through hard work, preparation, diligence, communication and never giving up, every DUI charge can be beaten. Our results show that in almost every instance, this belief is true.

The result I'd hoped for.
I called Tim and reviewed my paticular situation with him and from the very beginning I felt very comfortable, at ease and confident my case would be handled professionally and I'd very likely have my case dismissed. I wasn't exactly prepared for the process which seems like it takes longer than ...

When I met with Tim he told me I might be SOL but that there were still ways that I could come out of it OK. He was very up front a...
