      "I was in the most capable hands!"
      Like a medical emergency where sometimes your future hangs in the balance of the skills and capabilities of your doctor, there is no more important decision you can make than choosing the correct defense attorney. I am here to tell you that my future rested 100% in the skills and capabilities of Mr. Hessinger. Whereas my “emergency” revolved around “White Collar” issues that could have had extremely serious implications, Mr. Hessinger represented my case with the utmost skill, discretion and professionalism one could ever ask for. His years of experience and insight into understanding the complexities from both the prosecutorial and defense aspects of the criminal justice system were paramount in my decision to retain Mr. Hessinger. From my initial interview to the successful conclusion of my case, Mr. Hessinger was extremely thorough, thoughtful and most of all gave me a sense of security knowing that I was in the most capable of hands. As I am sure is true with many “White Collar” cases, we are generally well educated and acutely aware of the collateral damage and a lifetime of implications of not having a successful conclusion. Regardless of the financial considerations in retaining Mr. Hessinger, I believed then and am fully convinced now that I could not have made a better investment on my future and that of my family.

      "We are so grateful beyond words as to hiring such a dedicated attorney who always had our back."
      From the first day Tim signed on to represent my husband in a very serious case, Tim has kept us involved in every aspect of the case. He was referred to us by a friend who also hired him as well a few years ago. Tim was always available either by text, call, and email; he always promptly answered our questions as to anything pertaining to our case. He was honest about the outcome and we knew that with every document he asked us to get, the truth would come out. He worked diligently to prove my husband was innocent. The outcome was what Tim was positive would occur and no charges were ever brought up against my husband. We are so grateful beyond words as to hiring such a dedicated attorney who always had our back.

      "Tim Hessinger has an impeccable back ground in law with years of experience and it was demonstrated many times during the case in which he represented me."
      My life changed in one day, It changed from being ab normal working guy into finding myself needing a lawyer, I called several high profile lawyers, you know, the ones on the bill boards and radio, and I told them what happened in my life and why I needed a lawyer ASAP. The next following days all of the Big Firms returned my phone call and informed me they would not handle my case. They only wanted something they could win and make big money on, not a difficult case such as mine. They wanted no part of it and sent me on my way. If I could not find a good lawyer, I would be faced with the possibility of losing my job, my retirement and even worse possibly 5 yrs in prison. I never imagined I would be in such a position in my life and had no idea how to find an attorney that would be able to explain, defend , and fight for me. I Searched the Internet looking for a lawyer, and was very fortunate to see Mr Hessinger 's information . I called his office, received a return call and met him in his office. The following day Mr. Hessinger contacted me and stated he would represent me. Mr Hessinger stood by me from start to finish I never got a break from the courts, but Tim Hessinger never quit. Never . He did more then I could ever ask from anyone, Tim Hessinger has an impeccable back ground in law with years of experience and it was demonstrated many times during the case in which he represented me. He is truly a great person who is fair and honest with his clients and relentless in his pursuit of representing his clients. Tim Hessinger saved me from an unjust situation, protected my rights, and worked diligently to protect me from a horrifying situation, bringing it to a positive resolution. Although I will never forget the experience of being in the position I found myself in, I also will never forget how Mr. Hessinger worked until it had solid footing into a positive outcome. Tim Hessinger showed me without a shadow of a doubt that he is the best lawyer in Tampa Bay.

      "He met every single goal that we had set."
      Timothy Hessinger is very professional. along with his staff at the office, if he wasn't available they are always helpful and willing to get you what you need no matter if they had to make calls,emails, faxes, etc.. Tim kept me in the loop about my case and when certain things needed to be handled ever step of the way. He gave me all the possibilities and was always positive from the start. He met every single goal that we had set. I have 5 felony drug charges pending against me. Tim, along with his knowledge and resources was able to get me into a Pre Trial Intervention program which when complete my charges will be dismissed. During the process of my court appearances; Tim is always there standing by me, making me feel comfortable and at peace. He also makes it possible for me to be in and out fast ( I am usually one of the first ones out of there). Tim is definitely one of the attorneys that gets paid for what he does, he earns every dollar. Took care of things in timely manner and never slacked. I could not have asked for better legal representation.

      "I was very satisfied with his services and he was the best attorney that I have had the experience working with."
      I am writing this recommendation on behalf of Attorney Hessinger. I have been in the legal system for the past 4 months. Fortunately, I had the representation of Attorney Hessinger to guide me through this process. With professionalism and patience, he personally addressed all my concerns and explained in detail this unfamiliar and overwhelming process. Additionally, he communicated with me with caring and compassion. If future needs warrant legal representation, I would not hesitate to call upon of Attorney Hessinger, and I would highly recommend his services to others.
