Timothy J Rose

Firm: Rose & Associates, PLLC
3420 E. Shea Blvd. Suite 200 , Phoenix , Arizona 85028
Practice Areas: Divorce, Child Custody, Child Support, Alimony, Bankruptcy, Guardianship, Probate, Divorce & Separation, Divorce & Separation, Divorce & Separation, Bankruptcy & Debt, Guardianship, Probate, Alimony, Child Custody, Child Support
Timothy Rose founded Rose & Associates for one reason: to redefine the legal experience for his clients. Mr. Rose handles all types of family law cases including those involving children. Mr. Rose became a single dad in 2008 and had to seek his own legal counsel to protect his rights as a parent. He learned quickly how stressful and costly litigation can be. His steadfast belief that everyone should have a right to have meaningful roles in their children’s lives and everyone should preserve their rights in divorce led him to start Rose & Associates with a focus on family law.. “When the case involves children, I tell every client during the initial intake that the goal at the conclusion of the case is for the client to place the parenting plan on the top shelf of their closet and never have to look at it again”.. Mr. Rose always prefers reasonableness over litigation, and in a perfect world all cases would settle outside of court. No one wants a court dividing their pots and pans or making decisions about their parenting time with their children. When expert testimony is required, Mr. Rose will utilize experts he has develop relationships with in the legal community. As a result of his professionalism, reasonableness, and thoroughness at trial, Mr. Rose has received the appreciation from his clients by referring Rose & Associates to their friends and family and Mr. Rose routinely receives referrals from colleagues in the valley.. Mr. Rose found his clients had additional needs after the firm’s representation in family court was over. To serve his clients he has expanded the firm’s practice areas to include guardianships and conservatorships, juvenile dependency and bankruptcy with a continued focus on domestic relations.

I look at the practice of law as a chance to advocate for people who are struggling through difficult and upsetting litigation or simply haven't received a fair shake. This has been my philosophy since I became an attorney in December 1989, and it has stayed with me for over three decades in multiple legal arenas, including criminal, family, and juvenile court—as well as appellate practice.. I enjoy a number of personal activities, too, that keep me happy and well-balanced. These include sports, music performance, hiking, reading, and writing. I am also the proud grandfather of five little ones. I look forward to watching them change our world for the better.

Michael Lincoln

Firm: Lincoln & Wenk, PLLC
20830 N. Tatum Blvd. , Phoenix , Arizona 85050
Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation, Alimony, Adoption, Child Custody, Child Support
I grew up in a military family and, like most, was stationed at various bases throughout the country and overseas before finally settling in Arizona.  I stayed close to home and attended the University of Arizona for my undergraduate studies, before venturing out to California for law school, where I graduated from the University of San Diego School of Law in 2003. Shortly thereafter, I moved back to Arizona, and began my legal career and gained valuable courtroom experience as a juvenile public defender.. In 2010 I transitioned into private practice, and since then I've focused my practice almost exclusively on family law, divorce and child custody issues.  I like to think I bring a reasoned and compassionate approach to my cases, and understand the emotional stress often involved in family matters. With over a decade of combined experience as a litigator, I'm also well equipped to handle contentious disputes when necessary. When I'm not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, running and hiking.  I'm also an avid sports fan – especially when it comes to my favorite teams, the San Francisco 49ers, San Francisco Giants, San Antonio Spurs, and the University of Arizona football and basketball teams (“Bear Down”). When time allows, I also try to give back to the community by volunteering my time with Wills for Heroes and the Family Law Assistance Program.
