john,
You’ve convinced me.
If I’m ever in trouble I want Tim on my Case. Not someone who is unfamiliar with the court system.
Most every profile case is defended by Tim Case. I would think he must be a good attorney.
Would you call him?

You know the normal feel and thirst for knowledge that you have in reading the morning newspaper about some crime, that has been committed, which is nefarious enough to appear on the front page or the front page of Region/State. While you’re into the crime that’s committed, the back of your mind says, “I wonder what lawyer is going to be making some statement that his client is not guilty and he intends, with his staff, to fight this case to the end to prove it.”
Let me tell you forum readers, in this area there is an attorney who advertises about putting “Case on the case.” Well, Tim Case sometimes, or more than often, is the case. Since 1996, Tim Case has been the defendant in over 31 different actions filed in Colbert and Lauderdale County. They range in lawsuits from a 2010 Yellowbook case against him to a 1996 case filed by Samford University. What follows is a list of some, but not all, of the lawsuits filed by individuals against Basil Timothy Case or Tim Case. One could guess that when Tim isn’t working hard on criminal cases, he’s practicing law representing himself against people that have sued him. Tim is currently set for a bench trial December 8, 2010 in front of the Honorable Carole Medley at 10:00 a.m. on the Fourth Floor of the Lauderdale County Courthouse. Tonya Allen is suing Tim for $3,000.00. You might come and watch your favorite attorney in combat against one of his clients who allege some wrongdoing.
I have never used Tim Case but have been familiar with him since we were kids and I have always thought he was a sharp witted fellow and a hard worker. If I ever had a need for a criminal attorney then he would be on my short list of choices.
As for the person who started this post, it's obvious they have some personal vendetta towards Tim, sounds like someone who he might not have been able to "get off" for whatever they did. I would not put a lot of stock in worrying over if someone had a dispute over or couldn't pay their yellow pages bill or perhaps some money he might have owed to where he went to school. If you want to convince people that Tim's a bad guy then you better do better than that.
It takes a big person to anonymously say something like that about another person. I am pretty sure you don't even know Tim Case, because anyone who knows Tim will tell you that this list of lawsuits does not define him as human being. I DO know Tim Case on a personal level and can tell you that he is a great guy. Tim has helped me, members of my family, and some of my friends out of a bind on several different occasions. Just because you (obviously another attorney) have access to Alacourt, can run a search on his name, and air out his dirty laundry on a public forum, doesn't mean you know who he is. I know for a fact that for every lawsuit listed here, there are 20 or more people that can tell you how Tim has helped them. I'm sure this pathetic attempt to defame him is fueled by your jealousy of him. I know Tim is a very busy man and probably doesn't even have the time to read crap like this MUCH LESS compile something of this nature. Maybe you should focus more on yourself and your professional career and not so much on TRYING to defame a great guy like Tim Case. Keep in mind, when you are in the spotlight, you walk around with a target on your back. If Tim Case was some loser with no talent, you wouldn't waste your time on him. Get a life.
It is easy to thow false accusations from an annonymous forum. I can tell you until you have someone close to you facing disaster in every way you will not know how important someone like Tim Case is! He cares about his clients but more importantly he cares that justice is served. Many find that the justice system is not fair but based on soley what a person can pay for. Tim Case truly wants to see justice served and is not afraid to take on the big boys or the system to prove his client's innocence. My family and I pray you never need a Tim Case to protect your family and their very livelyhood but I promise you will glad he and his staff are there for you. As for Yellowbook and such, have you ever missed a monthly payment to something stupid and then they won't go away? If not you are the exception!
Thank you Mr. Case for being the man you are and the talented law professional that separates the truth from the hype!

It is hard to analyze this unless I know how many times other lawyers have been sued.
Well, about half of these lawsuits are by a business or some type of agency, so I don't think those have ANYTHING to do with Tim's professional career. These lawsuits seem to be of a personal nature. Even the suits filed by a person, could be personal and not have anything to do with Tim Case as an attorney. WE DO NOT KNOW THIS INFORMATION BECAUSE IT IS NONE OF OUR BUSINESS!!!!! I am very young and just starting out in life and already have one lawsuit on my record (and for the record, I did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to bring said lawsuit upon myself). Does that make me a bad person because a lawsuit was filed against me? It goes to show that ANYONE can file suit against another person, and it doesn't necessarily mean that their claim has any merit whatsoever. Perhaps they just want a little piece of someone's pie.
Looks to me that the one hiding behind this post has had his feelings hurt by Tim Case. Has HE got nothing better to do than this? Maybe HE should care more about what is going on in his life than that of Tim Case.
The johnjanitor99 boy needs to get a life and leave this great lawyer alone. Maybe if you worried more about yourself and your life, that you wouldn't be so jealous of Tim Case.
Tim Case is a great attorney and a good man. I bet that if you got in trouble you too would need him on "your case"

Sounds like you and your posse get into a lot of "binds".
I'm glad to see that this posting has been received with the skepticism it deserves. This looks like an unsuccessful hatchet job, and nothing more.
Geesh!
Geesh!
irving- First off, don't be a dick. Are you saying you and your "posse" have never had a traffic ticket/divorce/lawsuit you could use an attorney for? I didn't say I was caught trafficking meth, you judgmental @$$!
Wonder which name on that list is the "johnjanitor"? All lawyers have issues. BTW, I'd be more scared if he had no complaints against him. Then he really would be a figment of our imagination.
Ok, first let the record show that it doesn't take another attorney to look someone up on Alacourt. ANYBODY can go to ANY courthouse in Alabama and get this information. Anyone with one eye and half a brain already knows this. Furthermore, look at the PLAINTIFFS in the cases listed. Does no one see that Tim's the DEFENDENT in every case listed? Ummm...but yet you think this shows nothing of his character?? Oooook. Looks to me like clients suing him for their money back...hummmm. Good job??? Or did he take the money and run? YEP!
What lawyer gets sued by the State Bar??? Does no one find this odd?
Eastside -- you'd be more concerned with a lawyer that didn't have complaints against him? Are you SERIOUS? Lawyers are VERY private people. I know this because I am friends with many of them in this area. And NO, I have NEVER had a legal issue in my life. Not even a speeding ticket. But I could almost guarantee you if you looked up any other lawyer in this area, you wouldn't find one being sued by his clients, or one being sued by Probate Judges, the state bar, court reporters OR advertising companies. I am truly amazed at the lack of knowledge here.

hah. and you expected what?
There was a topic some time ago that mentioned Case. I don't know the guy but know he did take an appeal case. The first lawyer told several people, inc. the client that he would not appeal because IT COULD NOT BE WON.
So, if that's true Case took the little old lady's money on false pretenses. BTW, my lawyer is in Huntsville and I've never met Case.

Apparently he is a winner in the courtroom. It seems like CASE handles every high-profile CASE in the area. The janator and legal one sound like they may have lost a CASE to CASE.
LOL @ LawFirstndForemost! Apparently you know not how to read, my friend. I just said I have NEVER had any legal issues in my life. So no, I have NOT lost a CASE to CASE. Aren't you cute with your play on words! Just for your edification, Tim Case got sued by Justin Alred last week in Colbert County for $12,000 and Wednesday, November 24, Tim was sued by a Nelson man, SM 2010-1082, for $3,000. Obviously, Tim is having problems with some of his clients, but he's able to fool people like you.
The problem Tim had with the State Bar is well known about and old news, excuse me if I am wrong but I'm thinking Tim prevailed in that case. The fact that he has been sued by some people does not mean a lot but I would put more stock in what the outcome of each case was.
What makes the Alred case so interesting is that Judge Hughston's brother, Jimmy, is suing Tim. Make what you will of that. You don't think the judges in Colbert and Lauderdale County are considering how many times Tim is appearing before them as THE defendant? What type of impression do you think that makes with them?

That maybe he should be more selective with who he represents or takes on as a client.
Maybe it is not WHO he represents that he should be more selective with. Perhaps he should NOT be fooling around with other men's wives and girlfriends.
Rumor has it that he has married a former drug client recently. Some think this will curtail his behavior. I seriously doubt it. All of us men folks should have a reunion and compare notes on this old codger!

Although I find extremeexplorer's comment to be HUMOROUS, yet accurate, this is not the case. Eastside -- this man is taking these people's MONEY and making empty promises. He doesn't show up for court. He doesn't prepare the necessary documents to even BE IN COURT. Some of these clients have paid him $10,000 and he's never even done a notice of appearance to GET IN THEIR CASE. I know one personally. I really wish those of you defending him BLINDLY had ANY KNOWLEDGE of his actions. It's really quite pathetic.

Splain. Alred is who? Alred is suing? J.D. Hughston is her/his lawyer or is he suing also?
Hughston has been in business with Gene Crump, Jimmy Neese, and Mike Self from time to time I hear and now ppl say he owns Backyard Burgers that Muscle Shoals is buying. Any of this true?

Please tell me where I can find these cases and I'll give you a more in depth opinion of the cases. I have googled several and the only thing that comes up is this thread, so I can't speak to your claims that they are all suing him for not rendering legal services or for taking their money and running. I do have knowledge of some of his good actions but to someone like you they would not matter so I'll continue to defend him "blindly" as you say. BTW, I'm not even defending him per se, I'm just not buying what you are selling. I know Burdine to be a far worse attorney in our area, but he won an election -- so my opinion is just like yours -- just my opinion.
An opinion is an opinion. You are correct. Only I know precisely what I'm talking about. I'm not "selling" my opinion. How is me telling you I know personally one of the plaintiffs that sued him because he never filed the first motion in court AFTER being paid thousands of dollars to represent this person "selling" my opinion? Please, PLEASE go to any courthouse in Alabama, go on Alacourt and search his name. Court information is NOT something you can Google, btw. You'll see that I know my facts.
If you do take a notion to look up those cases, please note how many of them are suits for "Legal Malpractice" where TC is the defendant.
Actually yes, you can google court information -- roe v. wade...duh. The dead horse thread we talked about for months was all googled info on court cases. Then again, if these cases have not been decided or are still in limbo -- then it's still just their word against his, but I will go to Alacourt and see what I see. Just like you said though, You know someone and have an opinion and I know someone else and have the opposite opinion. I'm not buying yours and you aren't buying mine.
Oh wait, you have to pay $150 to join Alacourt? No thanks. And I have a life other than investigating this attorney to go to the courthouse and search something that is truly irrelevant to my life. I'd rather just keep the opinion I have of the man and you can keep yours.

Row vs. Wade? Really?? I'm referring to cases which may not be relevant to UNITED STATES HISTORY, such as those in COLBERT and LAUDERDALE County, for example. See how far you get on Google with those, PLEASE! Also, please note that I don't pay for Alacourt, nor do I "investigate" an attorney. Just KNOW my facts, friend! ;-) There's OUR difference.
You've just joined supposedly after johnjanitor, so I'm assuming you are closely related. However, there was a whole thread about a father's loss of his rights to an adoptive family and all of the case law related to the case -- Alabama case law -- I was able to Google and look at to form an opinion. Without specific cases I couldn't prove this fact to you but I"m sure if you search for the thread you'll see that I know my facts as well. If you don't "pay" for alacourts then obviously someone you know does which is fine by me. Like I said, I don't care enough to look further into your accusations. Just be careful to not cross a line with your opinion of your facts and commit libel against one of the most hired attorneys in the Shoals. You might find yourself on the wrong side of the courtroom. Good luck to you, LegalOne.
I'm not related to johnjanitor, nor do I know this person. I just heard all the buzz about this post in the legal community, so I joined. I appreciate what you've said, and rest assured I know enough about the law to never be on the wrong side of it. I have yet to speak "my opinion" of the "facts." I have simply concurred with the facts and what I know to be true about the cases themselves. This is not "libel."
What about someone that has sued Mr.Case step up and tell us the real truth.
I had to sue Tim Case. He failed to pay me money for services rendered. I contacted him many, many times and he refused to pay. I went to court and got a judgment and collected my money from him. Don’t act like Tim Case is some saint. Look at all the business people that have had to sue him. You know it takes a long time for Yellow Book to get to the point that they want to sue you for their money. I believe you may be Tim Case writing under the name Eastside. I also believe this P.R. nightmare is being fought by Tim Case’s staff at his law office writing these wonderful reviews when the facts clearly show he won’t pay his bills and he won’t give clients their money back when he doesn’t do the work.

Look, guy, look how many posts eastside has. eastside is not Tim Case, but he/she is entitled to like him. I've never met him but I have heard a lot bad about him. I'm entitled to be suspicious of him, just come on out and say I wouldn't trust him.
But if eastside likes him that's his/her right. Glad you came on here to tell what happened to you. As I said in an earlier post I know at least one case he took on appeal that other lawyers wouldn't. He didn't win. He knew he couldn't but he knew the lady had money and he wanted it. I believe that's called being unethical.

You are kidding right? Your first post is to say I'm Tim Case? I have been accused and called many things over the years but that's the best yet...I have not called him a Saint, but he is by no means the most crooked attorney in the Shoals area. BTW, I'm not Tim Case, nor have I ever had to have need of his services, but I do have friends that have and have gone back to him many times when they needed legal advice. I'm sorry you feel taken, but coming on this forum doesn't fix your problem. Accusing me of being someone I'm not -- I hope it made you feel better because I laughed for 10 minutes at your post. Thanks for giving me a great laugh today!!!!!
That was the best post from these newbies yet!!!!
Good stuff Eastside! Gotta love some people. BEV comes here, runs off at the mouth about not only Tim Case, but anyone that has something nice to say about him. I bet this Troll would go as far as to chastise his(Tims) mother for loving her son.
BEV - you lose all credibility when you speak of things you dont know about like that. Eastside has been a regular poster here for a long time, on many other subjects besides this. You, on the other hand, have not......

@ Eastside - Dude, it was a JOKE. I can clearly see how long you've been posting. Lighten up! If you were really Tim Case, I'm sure you would've only joined a week ago.
DUDE! Nothing about this thread has been serious for me to have to lighten up. Again, thanks for the belly laugh at you yesterday...good luck man.
