Tim klisz is an excellent defense attorney. My girlfriends car windows we're bashed out because long story short, she refused to finish paying someone for working on her car when he never finished the job, I did. He kept blowing her off and she needed her car fixed for work so I youtubed how to do the job and did. We'll he got drunk one night and came to our house and bashed her car windows out. She ran outside yelling at them, he was drunk and physically assaulted her. I lost it when I seen him swing something at her and beat him so bad he left in an ambulance. Well I was arrested for fouloneous

Tim Klisz has represented my company and myself numerous times over the last 8 years. He's honest and will give you his professional opinions when handling anything for me. He has also done my living will/estate planning and has drawn up many contracts for me personally as well as for my company. He is very respectful, professional and is very reasonably priced, considering his expertise and knowledge. He has always been punctual, reliable during cases and is wonderful in defense cases.

Tim did an excellent job helping me with some real estate transactions. He was knowledgeable about the process and educated me on what to expect. He was always available--returned calls immediately and explained everything clearly. Both transactions went through without a hitch, and I got very fair prices thanks to Tim's expertise and professionalism. In addition to all that, he is also just a really nice guy who will have your best interest at heart. Highly recommended, and I will be using him for all my legal needs in the future.
