Testimonials
See what some of our recent clients have to say about their time with Attorneys at Law Timlin & Rye, P.C.
We found our experience with the law office to be both rewarding and fulfilling. Our family was attempting to address some relatively significant concerns with our child’s school and school district. We were fortunate to work with Jeff. His services gave true meaning to the phrase counselor at law. The insightful and meaningful guidance we received really helped us make some difficult decisions. We felt supported and ultimately they were instrumental in our family efficiently reaching a satisfactory resolution.
Jeff Timlin proved his strategic prowess and resolve to me during a very difficult time. As you can imagine, it is very difficult to stay calm in familial matters because they are so close to the heart. Emotions easily overrun rational thought processes. Therefore, you hang onto every word and hope for the absolute best. Jeff delivered on every word, he never gave up, and he triumphed. It was very clear to me during our engagement that my case came before everything, including the money. He is worth ten times his rate.
Divorce is one of the most difficult journeys one ever embarks upon; you are faced with huge decisions. One of the first will be choosing an attorney that will be in your corner, represent you well, and most importantly help you navigate the immense mountain of paperwork. Jeffrey Timlin, and his paralegal Kerry, walk you step by step through the process. They help when you feel overwhelmed and are responsive, trustworthy, and knowledgeable – I highly recommend them to anyone facing a divorce.
