Hired Attorney Tim Bottaro

Working with Tim was a very good experience. I had never had a car accident of this magnitude before and had no idea where to start. Tim assured me that he would handle everything for me. And that's exactly what he and Alicia did! I didn't need to worry about the bills getting paid they just handled it. This made my recovery much less stressful. When it came time to settle they took care of it. They made sure to keep me in the loop all through the process and got me the maximum amount available from the insurance companies. I would highly recommend him and would definitely use him again in the future if the need arises.

Hired Attorney Colby Lessmann

Can't say enough about Colby Lessman! He helped guide us through the probate process when our mother died. The Craft Huff law firm wrote up her will but wouldn't help us when she died as wasn't big enough for them . Colby went over her will and did everything to help us understand every step. Took time and took our phone calls whenever we had questions. In fact we are considering changing our executor on our estate when we get the money and will go to Colby. Have recommended him to two others and will continue to rate him highly!

This is the second time I needed to consult a lawyer and did not hesitate to call on this law firm. I knew I would get the right results and he would be straight forward with me. When not understanding all the legal terms he sat and did not rush and broke down the wording to make me understand. When I got overwhelmed he talked me through it and took the time anytime to talk with me and let me know exactly what I should do. Thanks so much.

Working with Cody was great. He was professional, and took the time to explain everything to me me in a way that was easy to understand. He made me feel well prepared and confident that the case would go well. I would recommend him to anyone, and have actually already had 2 friends of mine use him for their cases as well.

Thank you for your kind review. Referrals are the BEST review you could have given me because that means you not only trust me with your legal matter, but those of the people you care about, as well. Thank you for that compliment. I wish you all the best.

Hired Attorney Tim Bottaro

The first time I met Tim, he was sitting across the table for me in a court room. I didn’t believe he had a leg to stand on. My lawyer‘s name was Skip, I should’ve known right there and then that I was in trouble. Tim went on to win his case and needless to say I was not pleased about this. Fast forward two years, an individual pulled out in front of me and my girlfriend while on a motorcycle and the first person that I thought of for a lawyer was Tim Bottarro. After all, if he won his case while his client was in the wrong, I couldn’t imagine what he would do for a client that was in the right. The more I got acquainted with Tim I was confident in my decision to use him as my personal injury lawyer. His attentiveness, knowledge of the law and his wit is what I needed. Alicia and Tim were wonderful with their response time and attentiveness to my case. I definitely would recommend Tim to anyone looking for a great personal injury attorney.

Greg, this is the ULTIMATE compliment. In my career, I've never had the other driver hire me to help with their own personal injury claim. I'm so glad you did. You were by far one of the most fun client's I've ever had. I really enjoyed working with you.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
