Timothy was my lawyer throughout my whole family law matter. I highly recommend. He takes care of his Veterans as well. He is compassionate and very knowledgeable with what he does. I feel I had one of those long, drawn out, extremely frustrating cases, but despite everything Timothy was there for me every step of the way. I don’t think any lawyer can “guarantee” anything, but this one here will do everything in his power to help you get to where you want to be or in the best spot possible. He is very fair and reasonable with his fees and willing to talk to you about anything he bills you. They say “you get what you pay for” when it comes to an attorney. Well..... I highly disagree with that considering what I was charged and what he did for me. I’m not so sure there is a “better” attorney. He knows sooooo much just off the top of his head it’s mind blowing honestly. All in all, I am satisfied with His work! Thank you! Kasey W.
