I would recommend Tim Sullivan to all my friends and family. When I made a hasty decision without fully understanding what I was doing. Mr. Sullivan informed and guided me in the right direction with no hesitation. He’s a great guy and an even greater attorney. I give him a 10/10. Thank you for your diligence, kindness, and professionalism!

Tim Sullivan is a very professional and understanding attorney. He made my experience run very smoothly throughout my legal process. Tim and his team respond to questions and concerns very quickly. I was told by several people, including some that work in law enforcement, that I was “in good hands” when I mentioned Mr. Sullivan was representing me in my case and they were right. I would recommend him as a defense attorney to anyone looking.

Timothy Sullivan and his entire team are by far the best law firm in the Tampa Bay area! Tim’s knowledge on both sides of the law are seemingly unparalleled from any vantage point. Tim was the first proffesional that reached out to me at a desperate time in my life. Having Tim in my corner was like winning the lottery. I watched him take center stage of the courtroom. He literally took complete control of the room and never gave it up. Mr. Sullivan is most certainly the consummate professional. I needed a miracle and that’s exactly what I got. Mr. Sullivan and his knowledgeable staff are undeniably a dream come true!!!

I highly recommend Tim Sullivan as a criminal defense attorney… Tim walked me through every step, ensuring that no detail was missed, and was available at virtually any hour to personally handle any questions I had. Before choosing Tim, I spoke with other attorneys who told me that the outcome I was hoping for was impossible. However, when I spoke with Tim, he was realistic but also assured me that he would diligently work every angle to arrive at a solution I would be happy with. He followed through on his word and was able to negotiate with the state to have them agree to the terms I was hoping for, so my case was resolved the day I went to court… Overall, if you’re in need of a criminal defense attorney who genuinely has your best interests at heart, I cannot recommend Tim Sullivan and his team enough. Thank you, Tim, for your exceptional work!
