As a plaintiff's attorney he has recovered millions on behalf of his clients.

In 2023, Tim opened the Law Office of Tim Etzkorn to focus on lawsuits and small businesses. We still take cases where someone has been injured and wronged, but we have added a focus on helping local small businesses protect themselves and their customers before lawsuits need to be filed. Our experience as litigators allows us to identify these crucial and expensive issues before they become a problem.
