Attorney Timothy Sullivan has a wide range of practical experience in the defense of criminal cases. His background also includes a focus on the specialized and unique training law enforcement relies upon in conducting a DUI investigation.
Tim grew up in a rural town on the New York and Pennsylvania border. He attended Lycoming College in Williamsport, Pennsylvania where he earned a degree in Economics. During his undergraduate education, he was elected by his peers as the president of his class, worked part-time as a paralegal for a local law firm, and served as a lector at St. Boniface Catholic Church.
After graduating from college with honors, Tim went on to attend Stetson University College of Law, where he was a Dean’s List student. As a law student, Tim gained valuable experience serving as a law clerk for a United States Federal Judge in Tampa. He also completed a clinical internship for the Pinellas County State Attorney’s Office. Tim served as a law clerk at a local criminal and DUI defense law firm.
Subsequent to graduating from law school, Tim was sworn in as a Pinellas County Assistant State Attorney. As a prosecutor, Tim learned street-level DUI enforcement tactics from the inside. He quickly rose through the ranks in the State Attorney’s office and was selected to run the North County Traffic court division. Tim was subsequently promoted to “Lead Trial Assistant” and supervised other Assistant State Attorneys. Tim’s experience as a supervisor at the State Attorney’s Office gave him valuable insight into the practical effects that a criminal record could have on an individual’s livelihood.
From 2011 through 2024, Tim served as an Attorney, Managing Partner, and Vice President of a local multi-office criminal and DUI defense law firm. After thirteen years working in and managing a multi-lawyer office, Tim determined that a solo law firm would be best suited to serve the needs of his sealing and expungement clients. Tim’s solo practice allows him to provide individualized attention to each client in an effort to secure the most favorable outcome in each case. During his career, Tim has supervised the sealing and expungement of more than 250 cases.
