The prospect of working with an attorney in this type of case can be intimidating. After my first consultation with Mr. Brennan, I had a clear understanding of the law, my case and the possible litigation options. Mr. Brennan kept me informed on the court process on a regular basis and followed up to ensure I was involved. Mr. Brennan’s research, attention to detail and litigation skills were of enormous…
I worked with Attorney Brennan in the resolution of my parents’ estate. I had heard of him through a mutual business associate and was extremely satisfied with Tim’s expertise, professionalism and communication throughout the process. Tim counseled me on nuances of estate law that had implications we never would have been aware of. In fact, I plan on working with Attorney Brennan to review my personal estate plan. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and works with the highest standards of integrity. I would definitely use his services again.
Timothy Brennan, Esq. has advised myself and my family several times on various common legal matters and questions. His work ethic and dedication to his clients and the practice of law is clear to all who interact with him, and it is also evident that his heart is in the right place when it comes to his motivation for practicing law–he is motivated by a sincere and altruistic desire to serve his clients to the best of his ability. He is also making a name for himself as an excellent practitioner of election law.
Timothy Brennan is one of the most well versed lawyers I have met. I have worked for major law firms such as Pepper Hamilton and Ballard Spahr in Philadelphia and for Pennsylvania attorneys…..Timothy is like no other. I had the pleasure of sitting with him on a Sports Law panel and his litigation work with NFL players is impressive. I completely endorse Brennan Law Offices and look forward to working with him in the future.
I unhesitatingly recommend Tim to people when they are looking for a lawyer because I know that he’ll always do an excellent job for them. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tim on cases in the past and his expertise, work ethic, and zealousness are second to none. There are few lawyers you will find of this caliber.
Tim Brennan is a well accomplished real estate attorney who is an expert in his field. If you have anything related to Real Estate, you need to talk with Tim. He is able to quickly come up with the right plan and process for your issue. In our case, Tim handled a few very technical real estate deals and saved us time and money. He explained everything and answered all of our questions. When you want the best, call Tim!!
Attorney Brennan provides loyal and hardworking support to his clients in a variety of fields like workers compensation, election law, and personal injury, to name a few. In my time working with Tim, he has proven to show care, compassion and dedication to each person’s individual needs.
For my first time seeking legal council, I could not be happier. I received a call the second business day, received good advice and information to get me on my way. Knowledgeable, courteous and informative. I look forward to working further with Timothy in the future and I strongly recommend him.
Municipal Law
So grateful for everything Tim and his associates have done for me! It was my first, and hopefully my last, time going to court for a traffic violation and I had no idea what to expect or what course of action was best for me. Tim and his associates were very helpful in addressing all of my questions and concerns in a prompt and thorough manner. I can not recommend Tim Brennan and his associates enough!

Can’t say enough about Tim and the help he provided me. I was injured at work, and I didn’t know what my rights were or what I should do. Tim thoroughly explained the law to me, what my rights were and the best way to protect myself. He helped me through a difficult time and I was very happy with how my case was handled. If you’ve been injured at work, give Tim a call. He cares about his clients.

Workers Compensation
Tim was patient with my very long and unusual case. Without the help of Brennan Law Offices I would’ve been another young, inexperienced worker who didn’t get their fair compensation after a workplace injury because of how sly and deceptive workers compensation insurance companies can be. He was very responsive to any questions I had and made sure I understood every step moving forward in my case.

Tim is incredibly professional, reliable, and pleasant to work with. He made my experience unimaginably easy. I was extremely impressed with his quick responses and how proactive he was in making sure I had everything I needed for success. He answered all my questions quickly and thoroughly and was a great negotiator. I’m grateful to have found him and would happily recommend his services.
