How I Help Clients
Create an awareness that my client’s world matters
I understand what my individual clients are going through and understand that my representation is not a one size fits all situation. I feel privileged to get to know my clients and give them a voice to help advocate fully for what’s right for them.
Anticipate what could happen in their case
and always think two steps ahead to prevent surprises of unwanted outcomes.
Take full responsibility to handle the legal aspects of my client’s case
so they can embrace making the most of what time they have left—I try to give the gift of time!
Preserve dignity
and a sense of security amid adversity and uncertainty.
Professional Credentials
Outside the court room, Tim has been recognized as a Northern California “Super Lawyer,” and named to the nationally recognized “Lawyers of Distinction” list. He has presented at continuing legal education conferences to lawyers and judges on a variety of subjects including asbestos bankruptcies to the use of expert declarations in litigation.
Tim’s professional involvement includes being a member of the State Bar of California, American Association of Justice, Consumer Attorneys of California and the San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association. He graduated from California State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and went on to earn his law degree from the University of California Hastings College of Law in 2001.
