Why should a client hire The Law Office of Timothy J. Deffet for their legal needs instead of another firm?
Answer: I provide prompt, personal, professional service.
At The Law Office of Timothy J. Deffet, prompt, personal, professional service is the cornerstone. At some law firms, clients are lost in the shuffle of a big office and are handed off to one legal assistant, paralegal or secretary virtually half the time they have any contact with the firm. Some of these firms may provide you the service you deserve and obtain a favorable result but your case may be passed around the office.
However, this will not happen in my office. I personally handle every case myself. Period.
What cases do I handle?

Falls are the most frequent cause of all preventable non-fatal injuries and a leading cause of all preventable fatal injuries in the United States.
