I was elected to the Fircrest City Council in November 2015.  I was re-elected in November 2019.  I was appointed Fircest Mayor Pro Tempore in January 2020.

I was born in Idaho, raised in Las Vegas, and attended Brigham Young Univeristy and the University of Puget Sound School of Law, which is now known as Seattle University School of Law.. I am married, and my wife and I each have four children, and I have three grandchildren.  I am active in my church and have served in many positions from scout master to priesthood leader.  As a young man, I served as a missionary for two years in Denmark.  Rock climbing was my passion as a teenager and I build ham radios.  At age 22, I started Jolley's Thermal Accoustical Insulation, Inc., in Las Vegas, which I operated for 6 years.  If you stay in an older Las Vegas hotel, Jolley's insulation is in the pipe chases.  In 1983, I began a financial planning career with an office in Framingham, Massachusett's.  In 1990, I began law school in Tacoma, Washington, graduating in 1993 and passing the bar exam that year.. As an intern, I began preparing bankruptcies in 1992 and have represented individuals and companies in bankruptcies since that time.. The other part of my law practice deals with estate planning, including complex tax planning.  Estate planning is something everyone should learn about because many will become disabled before the die and unfortunately, we will all die, and preparing for those events just makes good sense and is an act of love for those who survive us.

I love meeting potential new clients, reviewing their options and putting their minds at ease.  I have been practicing bankruptcy law for over 20 years and have helped hundreds of people through the bankruptcy process.  Just hearing the relief in their voices when they realize that there is a solution to their financial stress brightens my day.. If you are considering bankruptcy, you are probably wondering... Do I qualify... What are my options... Can I keep my property... My car is about to be repossessed, what can I do... Can I repay my mother... Can I sell my car... My mortgage company is starting foreclosure, what can I do... Do I make too much money... Do I make enough money... How do I rebuild my credit.... All of these questions, plus many more, are likely causing you significant stress. Information, answers and a plan of action are just a phone call away.  Call today to schedule a free consultation where we can discuss all these questions and plan your next course of action.

Attorney Tim Wilson's pledge:. My law firm is 100% devoted to representing individuals in bankruptcy matters.  I prepare most of the bankruptcy documents with my client's involvement (as opposed to just handing over the case to a paralegal or legal assistant).  When clients have questions or concerns, they speak directly to me.  Although I have a busy law practice, I do not operate my firm as a "mill' but rather I strive to focus on each individual client's concerns.
