Tim obtained his Bachelor's Degree in Commerce from DePaul University, where he focused on Finance and Marketing.

Tim then worked as a financial advisor with American Express before owning and operating a small business in Darien, Illinois.

Continuing his pursuit of legal knowledge, Tim attended Loyola University Chicago School of Law, where he graduated in the top 8% of his class. While at Loyola, he honed his skills in tax law through the Tax Law Clinic, negotiating with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on behalf of clients.

Tim's legal experience expanded further as he worked at Allstate Insurance Company's Legal Department, where he was involved in the acquisition of an online insurance provider.

After law school, Tim joined a larger law firm in Chicago, specializing in complex financial litigation.

In his role, Tim focuses on various aspects of family law and divorce, including the resolution of complex financial matters and child custody disputes. He represents clients in divorce litigation, post-divorce cases, parentage matters, adoptions, and family law appeals. While Tim aims to achieve resolutions outside of trial when it is in the client's best interest, he has a proven track record of success in navigating complicated divorce trials.

He has also litigated cases involving maintenance, child support, and asset division.
