As indicated above, I believe Tim is one of the best attorneys I have had the pleasure of working against as opposing counsel. Good lawyers appreciate having good lawyers on the other side of their cases. Tim is a complete gentleman and has never, to my knowledge, even once deviated from any law, rule, or professional standard of practice.
