About Tim
Tim was licensed as an attorney in 1990. He has been practicing almost exclusively as a family law attorney for most of this time. Tim is a Board Certified Family Law attorney, which means that he has devoted a substantial amount of his practice to family law, engaging in contested trials of cases involving matters such as divorce, property division, child custody, child support, adoption, and paternity. Although Tim is an experienced litigator, and will continue to help people in court, he knows from experience, that people are better served both emotionally and financially, if they can resolve their case outside the courtroom. This is why Tim is a strong proponent of collaborative law. His general philosophy is to try and settle the case, if at all possible, and litigate as a last resort, if there are no other alternatives.
A quote from Abraham Lincoln summarizes how Tim feels about the practice of law:
Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser -- in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.--July 1, 1850
Essentially, Tim believes that competition and gamesmanship should be reserved for the football field. Tim grew up participating in sports, and avidly follows his alma mater football team, the Texas A&M Aggies. He cannot wait until the college football season rolls around every year. So, if you enjoy sports, you and Tim will immediately have something to talk about!
When Tim is not working with clients or watching football, he enjoys spending time with his family. Tim is happily married and is the proud father of two sons (future Aggie quarterbacks?). He also enjoys exercising on a regular basis.
