I am a client of Tim's. With a profession as taxing and laborious as being an attorney kindness is not the first thing that one finds when interacting with an attorney. I was put in contact with Tim shortly after losing my job. I was in a place that made me fee like i was lost. Tim's experience and knowledge of the judicial system made me leave our initial meeting feeling supported and hopeful. I have been supported and informed of any changes in my case and also recieved calls to make sure that i was doing ok. You would think that these are things that a social worker would do not a lawyer. but Tim does them in stride with a smile on his face. I would recommend Tim to anyone that was or is struggling with issues supported by Tim's firm.
I am a client of Tim's. Right away he made a difficult situation much easier. I felt protected as a client in my situation should. Tim is kind, thorough, and has worked in his areas of expertise for 20-30 years (maybe longer.) Although he is kind, (you may have heard) kindness is definitely not weakness. He is a respected attorney in the WA area. He honestly puts hard work into his cases and pays close attention to his clients needs. If I could do this all over again I would hire him. Keep up the good work Tim and I thank you kindly for a favorable result!
