After graduating from Mizzou, Tim attended law school at the St. Louis University School of Law and was admitted to the Missouri Bar in 2013. Besides being admitted to the Missouri Bar, Tim is also licensed to practice in the US Federal District Courts in the Eastern District of Missouri.
Tim joined the Schnaare Law firm in August of 2016 and quickly made his presence known with his strong legal research and writing skills in assisting with complex litigation matters including will contests and land partition suits.

Tim and his wife are adult advisors for Venture Crew 2720 based out of Beaumont Scout Reservation which focuses on equine activities. Tim is also a Trail Guide for the Greater St. Louis Area Council. Tim continues to enjoy serving the Scouts because it was such a positive influence on his life growing up and he hopes to share that with the younger generations.
Prior to joining the Schnaare Law Firm, Tim practiced on his own for a couple years while pursuing another passion, one for the outdoors while working at Bass Pro Shops. Tim is a big advocate for 2nd amendment rights and conservation efforts. Any free time that Tim has is usually spent with his family or enjoying the outdoors, either hunting or fishing.

Hired Attorney 2025My husband and my situation was tied together by a family member. My husband suggested this Schnaare Law Firm and after taking to Timothy Nickless I know he was the lawyer we needed. He understood our situation. Even when I couldn't stop crying he was very compassionate and yet very professional. Very knowledgeable young man. I will always be very grateful to Timothy. My first experience in needing a lawyer and after taking to him my mind and heart felt such peace. Thank you Timothy.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
