In addition to the Florida Bar, Timothy is admitted to the Federal Bar for the Southern and Northern Districts of Florida.  He is a member of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, Florida Justice Association, Palm Beach County Bar Association, South Palm Beach County Bar Association and the Broward County Bar Association
