"If you need an attorney, Tim Hessinger is the best. My husband and I was returning from a cruise and lived out of state. Tim handled the case complete for us and kept us up to date and answered any and all questions we had. With his help we were able to return home and not have to worry about traveling back and fourth. He fought for the best possible outcome all while we got back to everyday lives. I cannot thank you enough for taking all of my calls, explaining the process and fighting for us. We only wish you worked in Texas as well. Absolutely would recommend to anyone needing someone to fight for them! He knew the case was ridiculous and almost 20 years old. Got all misdemeanors dropped and the felony reduced for my husband. We couldn't have done it without Mr. Hessinger!"

"Tim did an amazing job. Without his help and advice my case would have gone completely differently. Very glad I used him and would definitely use him again if there was a need for legal counsel."

"If you are looking for top notch attorney experience in the judicial system, look no further. After weeks of searching for an experienced attorney I chose Mr. Hessinger. There was never a question left unanswered. He kept me involved and up to date from the first day till the last. The end result was much better than expected. Thank you Tim Hessinger for your excellent services. I don’t know how I could have gone through it without you."
