Timothy P. Tobin

Tim's approach to litigation is practical and direct. "Although I deal with some pretty complex cases, most are really about one or two issues, a fact too many lawyers lose sight of. After nearly twenty years in practice, I've found judges and juries respect lawyers who focus on what's really in dispute and not waste time on side issues, a technique my wife and I have applied with equal success to resolving conflicts between our two children."

PRACTICE
Focusing his practice exclusively on litigation and insurance law, Tim was among the first group of attorneys to be certified as a civil trial specialist by the Minnesota State Bar Association. He regularly handles cases in the areas of employment litigation, insurance coverage, construction disputes, environmental damage, premises liability, and contractual and other disputes.

Tim has successfully tried numerous cases to verdict, and frequently appears before the appellate courts, where he has argued several cases of national significance. He is a sought-after speaker and chairperson for legal seminars.
