      Review Teymur Askerov

      Diligent and caring

      Posted by

      Genuinely cares about his clients. Has successfully represented us twice for different matters. Has a comprehensive grasp of a wide range of legal issues and experiences. Works the issues exhaustively and completely, and is well-prepared. Effective and tenacious in the courtroom with judges and prosecutors; as a criminal defense attorney he is outstanding.

      Tim was an incredible lawyer. He went above and beyond to help not only get my case heard, but completely vacated and dismissed. Even during the pandemic, he was excellent about keeping me updated about where we were at in the courts. He was also just very straight forward about my options, no sugar coating, which I really appreciated. Worth every cent, I would gladly return to Tim for legal help.

      post conviction release

      Posted by

      We talked to Tim about my brother who was detained by I.C.E. i,e. immigration customs enforcement for a 20 year old conviction back in 1998. Since that time after that he has been a model person. We needed help urgently for I.C.E was deporting him by mid Dec. 2018. Tim said he can help him and go work on vacating this old conviction. He was very effective, aggressive and knowledgeable. He got the old conviction vacated from Pierce County in record timing and saved by brother from Deportation. We are eternally grateful for his help. We highly recommend Tim to everyone we know or who needs a defense attorney. Tim is absolutely the best.

      Excellent Legal Representation

      Posted by

      I am very happy with my decision to hire Tim. Tim was great about keeping me up to speed with any developments in my case and making sure I understood everything I needed to know about the legal proceedings. He was also very easy to reach whenever I had any questions. Tim negotiated a very positive result for me. I was extremely pleased with the way my case went and I would definitely recommend Tim to anyone seeking a criminal or civil defense attorney.

      Great Representation

      Posted by

      I came across Tim and his firm from a basic Google search. I lived outside Washington and did not know any lawyers in the state of Washington. I was facing a personally damaging charge that would have affected my reputation in a very negative way and was very concerned about this. I was also concerned about using a lawyer off of a search that I had never met face to face before. My concerns turned out to be unfounded as Tim represented me in an excellent manner. Working with Tim was great. He was responsive to my needs, explained the legal process I was facing in an easy to understand manner, and prepared very diligently for my case. Not only did he win my case, but during the ruling the judge actually commended him on his fine work on my case! I was very impressed. I would definitely recommend Tim to any person looking for a criminal or civil defense attorney in the state of Washington.

      When a King County judge makes the wrong decision, Tim is the right person for your appeal.

      Posted by

      I would hire Tim again in a heartbeat, and if history repeats itself I may need to do so. My situation is one that demonstrates what happens when a poor judge is sitting on the bench. There was no evidence of my guilt, and in fact, my neighbor got caught lying in court and the judge did nothing. Instead of making the right decision the judge got angry and punished me for the fiasco my neighbors have caused. Tim looked at my case, looked at the law, saw there was no evidence for the judges decision and won my appeal. Since the Nightmare on the road known as 227th Place SE in Maple Valley continues we anticipate that when the order against our neighbors ends, they will begin their chaos again. I hope I don't need Tim again, but wouldn't hesitate to rehire him.

      I worked with Tim on the WACDL Amicus Committee and found him to be a talented and creative attorney. He has a great handle on cutting-edge legal issues and has a clear understanding of the intersection of criminal law and immigration. I highly recommend him.

      Tim is truly a stand-up guy. I have referred many clients to him. He is honest, hard-working, and responds to clients quickly and with detailed information regarding their cases. He is an asset to the legal community.

      Christopher Black, Criminal defense Attorney on Sep 30, 2016
      Relationship: Supervised lawyer

      Tim is a fantastic attorney and invaluable advocate for all of his clients. He is extremely smart, as well as thoroughly versed in all aspects of the law. This background, in conjunction with Tim's exceptional attention to detail, masterful writing, and powerful courtroom presentation, have garnered him the respect of both opposing counsel and judges throughout Washington state. Most importantly, Tim gets results. Whether it is a case dismissed, a hard-fought resolution, or a conviction overturned, Tim's client are uniformly thrilled with the results he's gotten them. He is tough, unflinching and relentless in his advocacy. At the same time, Tim is extraordinarily diligent, patient, and caring in all his communications with his clients. I could not endorse him any more highly.

      Tim is one of the hardest working attorneys I know. He is very knowledgeable and responsive. I highly recommend him.

      Tim is an exceptional attorney who has proved to be a tremendous resource to those of us fortunate enough to share an office suite with him. He has quickly become the go-to-guy in the office suite when we need to know the latest changes in criminal and immigration law and his strong legal writing skills set him apart from even those colleagues who have been practicing law much longer than him. To be more succinct, Tim is an excellent attorney and I whole-heartedly endorse both his work and his character.

      Michelle Scudder, Criminal defense Attorney on May 29, 2015

      I endorse this lawyer. Teymour is an extremely skilled and zealous advocate for his clients. He works tirelessly for his clients and has achieved outstanding results in his cases. He is very knowledgeable in different areas of the legal practice including criminal, immigration and appellate work. This experience makes him stand out from many other attorneys in the field. I would not hesitate to recommend Teymur to anyone.
