Civil Rights

There have been many civil rights victories in the last 50 years, but we may be heading the other way and society is still incredibly unequal. Tim works on racial profiling and LGBTQ issues for clients.

These situations are incredibly demoralizing for clients, but Tim helps you get the result you deserve after being discriminated against because of race, gender, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, or other characteristics.

Tim is a passionate and dedicated advocate of civil rights. He is a founding board member of the Virginia Equality Bar Association, Virginia's first association of LGBTQ attorneys. He is also a member of the Los Angeles LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce, Los Angeles County Bar Association, and LGBT Bar LA.

Estate Planning

Human Relationships are complex.

Tim has helped closed to 50 families prepare their estate plans. Tim provides a space for each client to think through their legacy and make sure the plans reflect each person's preferences. Although not always fun discussions, Tim can help guide you through what you must consider to reach a final plan.

Having a lawyer who understands navigating chosen or biological family dynamics is key when preparing an estate plan. Tim began his work litigating what is charitably called “sibling divorce” but better known as the all out battles between siblings over their parents’ estates.

Tim has mostly left litigation behind and focuses instead on positive planning with a specific eye towards litigation avoidance. He works to understand his clients’ goals and help them achieve those goals through properly drafted and explained estate planning documents, and, if necessary, meetings with those who will receive the estate distributions. The idea is for your legacy to go to your loved ones rather than the Probate Court or other legal costs.

Land Use

A key part of many people’s estates is the real estate they own. Tim has experience with Land Use and is able to provide his clients service related to zoning laws, legal issues with construction, and advise on real estate development (especially under California’s new land use laws meant to eliminate single family zoning).

Contact Tim if you have:

a zoning matter,
environmental issues,
have to deal with city or town planning commission,
get approval for projects, or
present a project at a public hearing.

He understands real estate law and requirements for permits, environmental issues, construction, and contracts.

Personal Injury

Being involved in an accident is traumatic. By hiring a lawyer like Tim you can focus on healing yourself while Tim handles the legal stuff.

As soon as you are injured it is important to get an attorney because the defense works to minimize your claim from the outset. Let Tim handle your case and you handle recovery.

Tim serves those who are injured through no fault of their own in accidents. His specialty within personal injury is suing government entities when their employees cause accidents in California and under the United States Federal Torts Claims Act cases. There is an old British tradition that you cannot sue the king, which continues in the United States and so there are steps to follow, which Tim can help you navigate.
