Hello, and thanks for reviewing my AVVO profile. If you think I may be of service to you, please contact me -- there is no charge for an initial consultation.  Thanks, Tim. ---. Tim is a founding partner at Mullin, Allen & Steiner, PLLC, and a seasoned trial lawyer with extensive experience in multi-week trials. Although regularly recognized as a Washington Super Lawyer for his defense of healthcare providers, outside the healthcare arena Tim also represents injured individuals in significant personal injury and civil rights cases. His practice ranges from the defense of alleged medical malpractice to representing both plaintiffs and defendants in insurer bad faith, insurance coverage, wrongful death, civil rights, employment, product liability, injunctive relief, and equine law cases, among others. Tim is licensed to practice in Washington and Oregon, and represents clients in both state and federal courts.. As a defense attorney, Tim has obtained defense verdicts, dismissals, and favorable settlements for clients including health care providers, hospitals, clinics, employers, universities, product manufacturers, building contractors, insurance brokers, and insurance companies.
