For more than 25 years, Tim has focused on the following types of areas: personal injury, wrongful termination, business disputes, professional negligence and civil rights, i.e. police brutality and rights for prisoners. Tim sued the Cape May prisons, resulting in a new prison being built and new privacy rights for female inmates.

A settlement was obtained and approved by the court.
