He has equal amounts of success in this area of law as well. Indeed, Tim now knows that his mission in life is to represent the individual and protect his/her rights. If you feel that you have been wronged in any way, you are up against a large organization without representation or just need to learn about your rights, please call The Upton Law Firm, LLC and Tim will take pleasure in personally advising you and representing you if you see fit.
