Worst lawyer ever

tim was hired to help me initially with my bankruptcy case which he was average..however after returning, I needed his assistance in getting a clean title for my car that the lein holder refused to take back..this man never returned calls, emails. He even hung up on me when I did get ahold of him. He... is disbarred in kansas he needs to be disbarred in missouri. Very incompetent and never available for his customers.

Horrible coward of a man

We used Mr. Starosta for my personal injury case, he has been "working" with us for about 7 months and he hasn't even filed the lawsuit yet. He is absolutely horrible at answering calls and returning calls and emails. I'm trying to get my file so I can get a new lawyer and this coward is hiding from... me, he won't answer a call or email, the only thing I've heard in over a month is him telling me to stop contacting him. Such a waste of time, do not use him.

Con artist

Supremely incompetent and when fired him after no getting anything done he refused to give my money back. I got a letter this week from the Missouri disciplinary committee saying he's been disbarred and I'm just happy knowing he won't be able to do this to any other people

Posted by Rhianne | May 07, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Excellent Criminal Lawyer

I hired Timothy after briefly meeting him in his office on a few serious criminal charges. I had outstanding warrants and I was extremely stressed. He immediately made me feel at ease with the situation and explained how we would proceed to get me out of trouble. Then he actually followed through. I?...??ve had lawyers in past and Timothy understood the stress in my daily life. He was able to walk me through a meeting with KCPD detectives and I walked out of the building with no charges pending. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Posted by Paula | February 22, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

One happy client

I hired Timothy to help me with some estate planning issues with my mother. He was very friendly and communicated his thoughts about what I should do very well. The matter was handled very professionally and resolved quickly.
