Reviews for Timothy
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Mr Hessinger acted in a professional and competent manor. I felt very secure with him handling my case. He went above and beyond the call of duty, he helped our entire family feel secure through a troubled time.
Tim and his partner, Donny, are great force for justice in our judicial system. His advocacy creates much needed balance in our system that often times might be seen as unjust.
Mr. Hessinger handled a case for us recently. I called other lawyers before I called him. The other lawyers told me that the case could not be won; best bet was aplea. Those lawyers were asking for a lot of $ to hold my nieces hand in front of a judge.We could have done that for free. We realized it was going to be a tough case to beat.Mr. Hessinger also suggested a plea but when we adamantly refused a plea he told us he couldn't make any promises but he would give it his all. He did and WE WON!
Professional, straight forward, trust-worthy
Mr. Hessinger was very knowledgeable in all fields of criminal law. His previous experience was a huge asset to us in getting through this very difficult time. He kept us informed throughout the process and his professionalism was appreciated. I would highly recommend Mr. Hessinger to anyone needing assistance in this profession
I've hired Tim and Donny on 4 separate occasions (4 separate arrests), for a total of 8 felonies and and 3 misdemeanors. The charges ranged from DUI to DRUG TRAFFICKING. The DUI was dropped completely! (no info filed) It doesn't even show up on my MVR.DRUG TRAFFICKING charges were reduced and I received a very lenient sentence, even with a prior record. Every other charge I've ever had was either dismissed or reduced. I would recommend Hessinger Law Firm to anyone!
Mr. Hessinger was very responsive to my concerns and to my case. He was very knowledgeable, and that knowledge helped my case significantly.
If you can afford him I think he is very good.
