About Timothy
Biography
I have been practicing in the area of personal injury for over fifteen years. Although I am experienced in many areas of personal injury law, I devote a substantial portion of my practice to representing individuals who have been the victim of sexual or physical abuse. My office's team of experienced attorneys are advocates for those who have been severely injured or suffered catastrophic injuries. At Ressler & Tesh, we handle a variety of cases that include all type of vehicle accidents, wrongful death, insurance bad faith, DSHS/CPS negligence, traumatic brain injury and other types of personal injury. We understand the devastating impact of death, paralysis, a traumatic brain injury, broken bones, and other significant injuries. Our goal is to seek and hold all defendants accountable and demand full and fair compensation for our clients.
