Practice Areas: Elder Law, Estate Planning, Guardianship, Probate

I have had the great pleasure to practice estate planning, elder law, and special needs planning for over 20 years now. I enjoy and appreciate the opportunity to work with seniors, disabled individuals and families to provide holistic and comprehensive solutions for their unique legal and financial concerns.. As a Phoenix native, I like to give back to the community and frequently speak on the various topics of estate planning, elder law or special needs trust for community groups as well as the State Bar of Arizona, AzNAELA, and Maricopa County Bar Association. I also presently serve on the Board of Directors for PASRS.. My firm has grown over the years to be one of the largest and most expereienced in what we do, and I am immensely proud to work with such caring and talented attorneys and other dedicated professionals. When I say my co-workers are like family, a few  truly are. My husband is our firm manager, and my sister-in-law and brother-in-law work with us too. In addition, several of the paralegals have been with me for over 10 years. We all work as a team and treat our clients like family.. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband of 25 years and my two children, Jack and Sarah. We enjoy activities together like travel, hiking, kayaking, and mountain biking.

I am an experienced attorney dedicated to helping clients successfully memorialize their end of life wishes and adequately prepare for their possible incapacitation. I follow a "boutique firm" format that allows me to provide clients meaningful personalized services.. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology and graduated from Arizona State University's Sandra Day O'Connor Law School in December of 1992.. I started as a law clerk at the Maricopa County Public Defender's Office right after I graduated from law school and began handling cases as soon as I passed the bar exam in the spring of 1993. As a public defender, I was in court litigating almost every day. By the time I left the Public Defender's office I was training and supervising new recruits.. In 1999 I left government work for private practice. I had enjoyed family law classes in school and found the transition easy and the new area of practice a good fit. My degree and experience in psychology have also been a tremendous resource. It was then that I realized how many of my clients were running into problems because of poor or no end of life planning. And I fell in love with yet another area of law: estate planning (probate, trust administration and adult guardianship)!. Through my 31 years of practice I have been involved in many Arizona State Bar committees, a Supreme Court committee, as well as other law related organizations, such as Los Abogados. As an estate planning attorney, I find the State Bar Probate and Trust Section a tremendous resource.

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.
