DUI charges can happen to almost anyone and for many of my clients it is their first and only brush with the criminal justice system. A system that is especially terrifying for the inexperienced.

Thorough, realistic, did exactly what he said he would

Mr. Note came recommended to me by one of his law Professor's at Gonzaga. I had a challenging case and I was very scared and angry. He was ably to move around my emotions and negotiate the situation and get my case dismissed. He dealt with some challenges and kept my expectations, timeframe and outco...me exactly as he said. I would highly recommend Timothy Note to anyone for legal matters and also family practice law.

A Caring and Compassionate Attorney!

A caring and compassionate attorney that truly cares for people and fights for justice. I hired Tim at the advice of a good friend when I got a DUI in 2009. I got Tim's card from her several months before my DUI and I called him very late at night from the jail. He calmed me down and advised me of my... rights in the situation I was in. He even called my family to let them know what was going on since he was my only call. I remember being so terrified about my situation since I had just started a new job/career and I didn't know the first thing about the consequences of a DUI. The first time I actually met with Tim he assured me that everything would be okay and immediately began working for me on my case. He knowledgeably advised me on the initial steps that I needed to take and it felt good to leave with some action items and to be in control of something when I had, at first, felt so helpless and lost on what to do. Tim was compassionate about my situation and knowing that I could not take any time off of work at my new job to meet with him he was flexible and accommodated my needs. While working with me Tim saw past the person with the DUI and took the time to get to know me and represented me as the upstanding citizen that I was who simply made a bad choice. Ultimately Tim (impressively) got my DUI reduced and saved my job! I truly feel like Tim represented me the same way he would represent someone in his own family. I am forever grateful to Tim Note as I have since prospered in my career and am doing wonderfully. Without his help at that critical, confusing time in my life I don't know where I would be. I definitely recommend Tim Note!
