His work in the wider world prior to becoming a solicitor, including as a taxi driver and telephonist as he worked his own way through law school, after which he was initially admitted as a barrister in 1975 working with the Commonwealth Crown Solicitors Office, has given Tim the ability to enjoy communicating with people from all walks of life. He has conducted motel and property law matters for clients throughout the whole of NSW, and regularly has repeat clients, all of whom value his expertise, friendly approach and dedication to their specific work needs. Tim has given numerous motel seminars, covering topics such as the process of purchasing and selling a motel, whether freehold or leasehold, financing, and providing general advice about things to be aware of and pitfalls to avoid.

Happily married to Bev since 1975, and the father of their seven children, Tim is a devoted family man who claims to be able to speak "teenagers talk" and regularly photographs their currently 14 grandchildren. An amateur train buff, outside the office you may well find him at his drum kit or enjoying his model railway.
