ATTORNEY PROFILE

Tim is married to Kris Newhouse, an attorney specializing in adoption and probate. They have two children.

After graduating from law school, I became employed at a local suburban law firm.  After 13 years of practicing with that firm, I decided to open my own practice so I could concentrate my practice on the areas I enjoy and so I could better serve my clients. My office opened on January 2, 1998 and I have been serving and advising my clients ever since.
