Biography

Tim has significant experience in civil litigation, personal injury, workers’ compensation and criminal defense. He attended law school at Widener University School of Law in Wilmington, DE. Tim graduated with honors and finished in the top twenty percent of his class while earning Dean’s List Honors and Certificates of Achievement in several subjects.

Tim grew up in West Chester attending SS. Simon & Jude and then Bishop Shanahan High School in Downingtown. He attended Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan where he graduated summa cum laude while earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Aviation Flight Science. Tim’s aviation passion has led to multiple pilot certificates including a commercial pilot certificate and certified flight instructor privileges.

After Tim earned his B.S., he felt a desire and an ability to do more for people. Tim enrolled in law school the following year. He began his legal career as an unpaid student intern at a small law office in West Chester. Through his hard work and determination, he earned a position as an Associate Attorney. There, he learned to advocate on behalf of those injured in accidents, as well as those facing criminal prosecution.

After several years of hard work for his first firm, Tim took his experience and joined a large firm specializing in insurance defense in Allentown. Tim quickly discovered that the drive he had for law and his desire to help people were not being fulfilled when his clients were large insurance carriers. Tim decided to take that experience on the “other side” and use it to his advantage and to the advantage of those injured in accidents. He has appeared in almost every district and county court in the region and worked on behalf of hundreds of clients facing a variety of legal hurdles.

Tim is an avid fan of both the Philadelphia Phillies and the Philadelphia Eagles. Tim has a background in music and has played concert piano since 4th grade. He also has

Legal Answers
Q. In Pennsylvania, I was issued citation for failure to come to complete stop at stop sign. Can I plead not guilty…
A: You should plead not guilty. Bring proof that you had the vehicle inspected to the hearing, and the officer may withdraw that citation. The officer may also be willing to change the stop sign citation to a section that does not add points to your license. Consider reaching out to a traffic attorney in your area for a free consultation.
Q. Can an officer mail me a citation for following too closely without ever positively identifying me?
A: No. An officer can mail a citation without ever making contact with a driver if the driver can be ID'd by the trooper, such as if the officer can see the driver and has had prior run ins with him/her. The question in your case is what the trooper is relying on for his identification of you as the driver. Consider reaching out to an attorney in your area or near where you received the citation for a free consultation.
Q. I have received a citation stating that I fail to stop at a stop sign. Has me as a defendant and a vehicle that I own.
A: Certainly sounds like a mistake was made, which happens from time to time. You should plead not guilty, which means a hearing will be scheduled that you will have to appear for. It should be as simple as the officer realizing he/she made a mistake when you see him/her at the hearing. You can also reach out to a traffic attorney for a free consultation.
