Mr. Lees is an excellent lawyer and I very much appreciate all the legal help he gave to me. Mr. Lees was able to use his legal expertise to come to my aid with difficult situations that were troubling and stressful to me, and his help put me at ease. This is something that I will always be Thankful for. My legal needs involved the most important thing in the whole world to me, my children – so I needed a lawyer whom I could trust. Mr. Lees was recommended to me from a highly regarded source as someone that I could trust, and to my relief this proved correct – I put my trust in the right person. Mr. Lees worked very hard to help me, and because of his help some bad situations were turned around and made better for my son. Without this help my son would have been in a situation that would have been very unhealthy for him. Mr. Lees made a way for my son to be free to live his life the way he was meant to live it – and this meant everything to me. Mr. Lees understood me, and what I needed for my children – and he worked to make things better – and that is exactly what I needed. I have much gratitude for all that Mr. Lees did for me during the time that he was my attorney. It is clear that Mr. Lees has much experience as a lawyer, is hard working, is responsive to his client’s needs, wants to make things work for the benefit of his clients, and is trustworthy. I highly recommend Mr. Lees as an attorney.

Tim is an outstanding lawyer. He worked very hard on my case. He was very knowledgeable in all areas of my case. Tim is a compassionate lawyer, who was understanding, caring, and took my case very seriously working very hard on it. I was coming out of a very bad domestic abuse marrriage where I thought I could lose everything. Which would mean losing all the stability that my children had, while going through trauma themselves. I had a head injury, and Tim was so patient, and understanding . He did a great job letting me know what he needed from me. And if I didn’t respond. He would always be persistent, but in a way that was very much appreciated. He did an exceptional job in court each time on my case, and we won. I could not have asked for a better lawyer. I would highly recommend him to any person I know.

I was impressed by Tim's demeanor in the Courtroom. He had a much better methodology than his counterpart, which resulted in a positive outcome for us.

When I first contacted Timothy Lees I was scared and overwhelmed. He helped me understand what I needed to do and how to do it. While divorce is not an easy thing to go through, Tim helped it make sense. He guided me through each step and answered every question. He was an ally I could count on and trust in. I highly recommend Tim!

Tim Is an excellent, efficient and very personable attorney. He does what he says and returns calls promptly. Everything went smooth. He really has his act together as an attorney. He is a bulldog when he needs to be and an awesome negotiator. My Case was so fast and Tim handled all the stress for me. I have had other attorneys but none that actually did the work for me . I never felt like I had to question his expertise because he really knows his stuff.

Tim has been our attorney for many years and I have recommended many family, friends and clients to him. I met Tim when he worked at his first office working for someone else, I had a case at the firm a year prior that had become active again and Tim remember me and my case right away. He handled my child support case, later the adoption of my daughter by my husband and most importantly a highly volatile, complicated family case with one of our "blended" children and their other parent. This case has been a continuous challenge for 15 years and Tim has stuck by us and represented us efficiently, ethically and fairly. Tim is a superb attorney, his knowledge of the law is outstanding. His first choice is to try to work outside of the courtroom and he is wonderful with clients that are able to proceed this way but he is also very successful for high conflict cases like ours that must go in front of a judge. He is able to work with other attorneys and professionals to try to get the best results for your family. Tim has always been very honest and fair. He has tried to save us as much money and sanity along the way as possible while still giving us better service than I could have imagined. He always kept us involved with our case and the decisions and helped us to remain realistic throughout. His communication skills are excellent and he never made us wait and linger for answers. Tim has been more than just our lawyer, he is part of our family. He brought our family together. I refer anyone that is looking for a family lawyer to Tim, regardless of how easy or difficult their case because I trust Tim to take care of them and he ALWAYS does!
