His career has been in representing clients through very difficult times in their lives – bringing compassion and personal client service to the representation.

A successful law practice, like a solid legal case, is built with determination, hard work, study, and dedication to the cause. Tim's cause - the central theme of his career in law - is helping injured people. He is the managing partner of his law firm of Benson, Byrne, Risch, Siemens & Lange, LLP. His partners and he are from, and live, in Louisville. Tim attended law school at the University of Louisville, graduating in 1993 from the Brandeis School of Law. He passed the Kentucky and Florida bar exams on his first attempts. He is admitted to the state bars of Kentucky and Florida, the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals of the United States.

Dedicated to his continuing education in injury law, Tim sought and attained the status of "Advocate" by the American Association for Justice (the AAJ - formerly known as the Association of Trial Lawyers of America), and has been a member of the American Association for Justice since early in his practice. He is a member of the interstate trucking litigation sub-group of the AAJ. He is also a long-time member of the Louisville Bar Association. Last, Tim has served on a number of community and charitable boards and organizations in Kentucky, currently serving as a Trustee of the Louisville Zoo Foundation Board.

A little more background:
Tim's career path, from the present time and back in time as far as when attending St. Francis DeSales High School, has been the pursuit of a career in the law representing injured people… He achieved academic honors in law school, made national mock trial and moot court teams there, and gave back to the local community as Chief Justice of the legal fraternity of Phi Alpha Delta. He also worked his way through college, with a dream of practicing law – and the good fortune of earning an internship in the Washington DC office of Hon. Romano Mazzoli, of the Third District of Kentucky in the United States House of Representatives. Last, he made his high school moot court team too, where as fate would have it, his passion for the law was born with his first moot court case involving a young man killed by a negligent truck driver.
