Certified Specialist in Personal Injury and Wrongful Death by the Arizona Board of Legal Specialization
(602) 354-8989
Over the past three decades, Tim has developed a reputation as one of Arizona’s premiere civil trial lawyers. In an era where most lawyers settle litigation without a trial, Tim is one of the few attorneys who frequently presents his client’s cases to juries in state and federal court. He is admitted to practice in all courts in Arizona and has litigated and tried cases in more than a dozen states.
Having spent more than fifteen years representing some of America’s largest corporations, Tim has devoted the latter half of his career to advocating for individuals and businesses who have suffered financial or bodily harm at the hands of others. His experience and success in high-stakes litigation defense, as well as his deep understanding of corporate defense tactics and strategies, has given him a unique advantage in the courtroom.
Tim has secured record-setting jury verdicts and obtained civil justice for many clients – sometimes even changing the law in the process – and making his home state a safer, more just place for Arizonans. He represents businesses on claims involving shareholder disputes, breach of fiduciary duty, business fraud or misrepresentation, breach of contract, legal malpractice, and commercial counterclaims. He also represents individuals on claims of whistleblower retaliation, dangerous and defective products, nursing home negligence, wrongful death, and serious personal injury, including traumatic brain injury.
Tim and his cases have been the subjects of attention in both national and local news, including at The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, and The Washington Post, among many others.
Tim is currently a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates, Arizona Association for Justice, and the Maricopa County Bar Association. Previously, he served as a member of the Arizona Commission on Judicial Performance Review and the state bar’s Disciplinary Committee. At the invitation of various legal associations, Tim has also taught as an instructor at continuing legal education (CLE) seminars on the subjects of product liability, negligence and tort law, trial practice, constitutional claims against government entities, and election law.
Tim has served as General Counsel to the Arizona Republican Party, a member of Bishop Olmsted’s Finance Council for the Diocese of Phoenix, and as a member of the Pastoral Council for his local Catholic parish. He has also served in various board or volunteer positions with local charities, including Esperanca, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP), Arizona Right to Life, and Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS).
