G1 LicensureNot published by ILIllinois does not publish an attorney register we can query, so licensure is not verified here. The state's own attorney search is the place to check it.
G2 DisciplineNot published by ILIllinois does not publish a disciplinary register we can query.
G3 Entity & officeNot published by IL1 physical location verified on Google Business Profile. Illinois publishes no business register we are able to query, so the registration itself is not verified here. The state's own business search is the place to check it.
G5 WebsiteNot checkedSite has served over HTTPS, a working phone number published, no attorney is named on the site we could read. The gate also asks for no misleading claims, which is an editorial read we have not recorded.

Frequently asked questions
How much does The Law Office of Timothy J. Deffet charge?
The Law Office of Timothy J. Deffet publishes no fee terms on the pages we read, so none is recorded on this profile. An absence here is not a claim that the firm has no fee arrangement, only that it does not state one publicly. The rate itself is not published, so ask for it in writing, along with how case expenses are handled and whether they come out of the recovery before or after the fee.
Does The Law Office of Timothy J. Deffet offer a free consultation?
The Law Office of Timothy J. Deffet does not publish a free consultation on the pages we read. That is not the same as charging for one, and it is worth asking.
Where does The Law Office of Timothy J. Deffet have offices?
The Law Office of Timothy J. Deffet publishes one office, in Chicago. Addresses and the Google listing behind each one are on this profile under Offices.
Who are the attorneys at The Law Office of Timothy J. Deffet?
The Law Office of Timothy J. Deffet names no attorney on the public pages we could read. That is a gap in what the firm publishes rather than a statement about who works there, and it is why the licensure and discipline checks on this profile have nothing to run against.
Are the case results The Law Office of Timothy J. Deffet publishes verified?
No. The Law Office of Timothy J. Deffet publishes 20 case results with amounts on its own site. We counted them and we did not confirm them: the figures are the firm's. Pillar B scores whether a firm publishes outcomes and discloses them properly, including whether a prior-results disclaimer appears beside them, not whether the amounts are right. Past results do not predict another case.
What has Law Firm Listings verified about The Law Office of Timothy J. Deffet?
The Law Office of Timothy J. Deffet scores 44 and sits at Listed. Passed: footprint. Did not pass: website. Could not be answered from any public source and therefore counts neither for nor against the firm: licensure, discipline and entity registration. Every row of the scorecard above names where the value came from and when it was read. Nothing on this profile was supplied by the firm for payment, and no placement here can be bought.
