Tim has been licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania since 2014. Tim has extensive experience in criminal defense, civil litigation, personal injury, and workers’ compensation matters. Tim attended law school at Widener University School of Law in Wilmington, DE where he 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. Tim 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 holds multiple pilot certificates including a commercial pilot certificate and certified flight instructor privileges.

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

After several years of hard work at that firm, Tim decided to use 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 the clients were large insurance carriers. Tim decided to take that experience back to the “other side” and uses it to his advantage and to the advantage of those injured in accidents. Tim 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 currently resides in Northampton. He is an avid fan of both the Philadelphia Phillies and the Philadelphia Eagles. He has a background in music, having played concert piano since 4th grade. He also has a passion for animals and is the proud father of two adopted pets: a dog named Nox and a three-legged cat named Jaco.
