He has authored a scholarly work entitled "Parent's Loss of Consortium Claims for Adult Children in Iowa: The Magical Age of Eighteen", published at 41 Drake L.R. 247 (1992).

He then attended the University of Iowa College of Law earning his law degree with distinction in 1988. Since 1988 Tim has practiced law in Waterloo, Iowa. He has been a member of the Iowa Bar Association and a member of the Family Law Section as well as a member of the Black Hawk County Bar Association where he served as Treasurer from 2002 - 2004, Vice President from 2014 - 2015 and President from 2015 - 2016.
