The Bussey Law Firm P.C. Will Fight for You to Protect You
Timothy R. Bussey is the lawyer other lawyers request when they need to learn innovative trial tactics and techniques.

Mr. Bussey has taken over 100 cases to trial before judges, juries, and courts-martial. This is more than a statistic, since today's bar is loaded with attorneys who seem to avoid the courtroom at any cost. Granted, negotiating favorable dispositions is an important part of an injury lawyer's job.

When casework becomes routine or repetitive, one response attorneys can take is to mechanize their practice or perform half-heartedly. A much better response, and one that Mr. Bussey has chosen, is to use his experience as an opportunity for exploring new strategic ground.

Despite the demands of a busy legal practice, Mr. Bussey remains highly energetic and values spending time with his family, including coaching his children’s junior basketball teams.
