Tim graduated from the University of Wyoming law school in 1987 at the top of his class and as editor of the Law Review. He then clerked for a Judge on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for a year in Reno, Nevada.

Since law school, Tim has practiced law in a very broad and diverse range of areas, including working for the FDIC during the height of the banking crisis for several years and private practice during the balance of his career. Tim's specialty is litigation, both civil and criminal. He also focuses on environmental law, immigration law, constitutional law, employment law, Indian law, and transactional matters.

Tim is licensed in both Wyoming and Colorado and is able to practice in these states courts as well as all federal courts and agencies throughout the United States. Tim is especially proud of his award from the Colorado Bar Association for his services to indigent and needy clients.
