Tim Cullen is a trial lawyer, a member of the American College of Trial Lawyers, and head of the worldwide Trial Practice at Jones Day. Tim is commonly called on to lead teams and present cases in the most complicated commercial matters, including antitrust (for both plaintiffs and defendants), contract, trade secret, and shareholder disputes. He has tried federal and state jury cases, argued federal appeals, and been lead counsel in U.S. and international arbitrations.
Recently he and his teams have achieved a multimillion dollar ruling for a French client seeking in arbitration a return of part of its purchase price for an acquisition, a multimillion dollar jury verdict for a coal company seeking return of the unearned portion of a bonus, and a Delaware Chancery ruling allowing a client's merger to go through despite a challenge from a joint venture partner.
In addition to being selected to the American College of Trial Lawyers (an honor given to fewer than one percent of active trial lawyers), Tim has been recognized by the Legal Times as one of D.C.'s Top Ten Commercial Litigators and named nationally as a BTI Client Services All-Star MVP two years in a row. For more than 15 years, Tim has been an active member of the Center for Public Resources, a leading group of corporate and firm lawyers focused on alternative dispute resolution, and developed a broad sensitivity to where and how mediation or other alternative procedures are the best way to serve the client.

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.
