About

William “Tim” Fleming is a criminal defense and family law attorney in State College, Pennsylvania, with over 31 years of experience in both prosecution and defense of criminal cases, and family law representation.              As a former Assistant District Attorney, and First Assistant District Attorney in Centre County, Tim has a unique perspective as a criminal defense lawyer, and is intimately acquainted with the tactics used by aggressive prosecutors.  Tim understands that the best defense is the ability to anticipate and know the offense against a client in criminal court.             Tim has owned and operated his own law office in State College for over fourteen years. Prior to that, he was a partner in the law firm of Lee, Martin, Green and Reiter in Centre County for sixteen years. He started his career in criminal law in Centre County in 1984.             Tim has handled difficult, high level criminal defense cases in Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Huntingdon, Mifflin, Juniata, Perry, Union and Snyder Counties.  He is the father of two college graduates- a daughter who is a graduate Susquehanna University and a son who is a graduate of Penn State University, in State College, PA.  Tim understands a parents’ and student’s investment in a college education and the value of protecting that asset from the stigma of a criminal record as the result of criminal charges.  He has represented his student clients in Student Conduct review conferences at Penn State for over twenty years, and is familiar with the student disciplinary proceedings at other universities such as Bucknell University, and Susquehanna University.             Tim has also been an active participant in pro bono representation for Mid Penn Legal Services and the Centre County Women’s Resource center, and has been the current President for the Centre For Alternatives To Community Justice for the past four years, and a past member of the Board of Directors for the State Theatre, both in State College, Pennsylvania.             Tim also practices Collaborative Divorce and Family Law, and is an active member of the Collaborative Practice Group- Central Counties Collaborative Law Community in the Centre region.  He is also a Member of the Centre County, Pennsylvania, and Middle District Federal Court Bars.              Tim has been a resident of Centre County for all of his thirty one years of professional practice in law.

Mr. Fleming helped me in two cases I had: one very minor one, another was serious and could have unpleasant ramifications for me and my family. Tim handled both cases as if they both were of utmost importance to him personally and reached very good results in both. What impressed me as much as results, was Tim's punctuality and dependability, he answers phone and email quickly and is there to answer any questions you might have. Highly recommend if you ever need an attorney.

I have been a client of Attorney Tim Fleming. During the past 10-12 years I have had the pleasure of working closely with him in the capacity of private investigator. Additionally, on many occasions Attorney Fleming consulted with me and my agency on a wide rage of legal issues. His attention to detail; his genuine caring for each client and the sincerity of his efforts are unmatched. Many cases, involving Attorney Fleming and myself as his investigator, come to mind that clearly demonstrate his abilities as a skilled and dedicated attorney. One such case involved a young grad student. Attorney Fleming spent 15-months pursuing justice in this matter. It culminated in a jury trial in which Attorney Fleming was, in my professional opinion, nothing less than brilliant. It took a jury less than one-half hour to rule in favor of the client. As a retired law enforcement detective and now a private investigator, I feel very qualified in saying, Attorney Tim Fleming ranks at the very top of his profession.

Attorney Tim Fleming is someone who I would recommend to anyone. I ended up with an issue where the PA Dept of Transportation suspended my Drivers License in error. Attorney Fleming expertly helped me walk back a very complicated series of events and win the case. Thank you to him for a wonderful and caring experience throughout a very stressful situation.

Having no experience with the criminal justice system and being in our mid 60's we asked our Farming organization for a referral and hired an attorney in Harrisburg who did not communicate with us and did not know the law and certainly did not know the Centre County justice system. After being fed up we looked at reviews and Tim's stood out. We asked for a consultation and in minutes Tim understood the issue and formulated a strategy. Tim spent an entire hour with us and would not charge us. However, Tim did not take our case because we were in the process past the preliminary hearing stage. I wish we would have found Tim from the beginning. He offered great advise that our attorney would not take and he offered to talk to our attorney if he would call him for advise on the Centre County personalities. Hire Tim, he knows the system, has great strategies, returns calls and explains everything. We wish we would have known what to look for in an attorney but we were scared so we took a bad recommendation. Now my husband will be pleading guilty for raising animals in the wettest year on record in a natural way that face book people found offensive and we simply can't afford to go on with this criminal justice process that is anything but just and is unbelievably expensive and has put us under incredible stress, worry and fear that has harmed our health and well being.

I hired Tim Fleming to help with a legal issue. He and his assistant, Diana went above and beyond to make sure I fully understood the process, and responded quickly to emails and voicemails. Tim worked diligently to ensure I received the proper paperwork, and was kind and understanding throughout the experience. I would highly recommend his services.

Attorney Fleming is an excellent attorney. He was upfront about all aspects of our case, i.e, what could happen, what our rights were, and what we needed to do to have the best outcome possible. He returned all of my calls within minutes and I always felt he was on top of our case. He promptly followed through on everything he said he was doing and I always had a comfort that our case was important to him and we weren't just 'another' client. I highly recommend Attorney Fleming.

To whom it may concern, I am a man who was convicted of a Felony marijuana possession charge for a crime I committed at age 19. I was interested in exploring my options regarding clemency. I first met William T Fleming, "Tim", almost seven years ago to discuss my case. Prior to our introduction, I contacted my counsel who represented me for my original criminal case to discuss the possibility of a pardon. He instilled more fear than confidence in me regarding this matter. Tim was the exact opposite. Although I felt that I was a great candidate, I still needed the proper guidance. More important than anything I needed belief in myself, in the system, and in my odds of winning in court. Tim provided that belief. Everything involving his representation was truly impeccable. We were well prepared from the point of filing the application to the final moment when we presented our case before the Board of Pardons of PA in the Supreme Court of PA. Our every move was well choreographed and properly executed. I owe Tim unlimited gratitude for his assistance both legally and emotionally throughout my journey towards clemency. I would highly recommend Tim to anyone seeking counsel, especially if they were seeking a pardon from the Governor of PA. Sincerely, Bill

Tim was a truly exceptional counselor during a lengthy and tension-filled process of negotiations. He was unfailingly wise in his advice, available to help with great insight, and consistently promoted my best interests with a view towards long-range outcomes when those were difficult for me to envision. I am extremely grateful that he served as my attorney, and give him my very highest recommendation.
