Timothy Carroll Rusk

Tacoma native, built a career defending the people of this community. 

Tim Rusk Attorneys provide the kind of focused, honest legal representation that people actually deserve when the stakes are high. We handle criminal defense and personal injury cases, two practice areas where a wrong move can cost you your freedom, your finances, or your future. We take that seriously.

On the criminal defense side, we represent clients facing DUI/DWI, assault, domestic violence, drug offenses, theft, sex crimes, weapons charges, probation violations, juvenile offenses, and federal charges. We also help clients pursue expungements to put the past behind them. Our approach is simple: Dig into the details, challenge weak evidence, and build a defense strategy tailored to your actual circumstances, not a one-size-fits-all playbook.

In personal injury, We fight for people who've been hurt through no fault of their own. As an avid motorcyclist myself, I bring particular insight to motorcycle accident cases, along with strong experience in car and truck collisions and negligence claims. Our goal is always to recover the maximum compensation my clients deserve.

My work has been recognized by the King County Department of Public Defense with the Excellent Trial Advocacy Award, and I've been named a Super Lawyers Rising Star, an honor given to fewer than 2.5% of eligible attorneys. But the recognition I value most comes from clients who trusted me at their lowest moments and came out the other side with their lives intact.

If you're facing criminal charges or recovering from a serious injury, don't wait. Contact me today.
