About Tim
They say law is a second language for those who study it deeply. For Tim Steinhelfer, the study began at Tulane University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in 2007. He continued his legal education at Chicago-Kent College of Law, Illinois Institute of Technology, receiving his Juris Doctor in 2012. Those academic years set the shape of a practice based in Ohio and in the federal courts that sit over it.
Steinhelfer built his early career on the routines of litigation and court work. After law school he entered practice and over time established himself at The Steinhelfer Firm. The record shows he is admitted to the Ohio bar and to practice before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. He has maintained active membership in local legal organizations since 2021, including the Central Ohio Association for Justice and the Logan County Bar Association. Those memberships place him in a community of trial lawyers and local practitioners.
His work has involved regular courtroom appearances and appellate filings. He handles procedural work, client counseling, and filings in state and federal settings. Colleagues describe him as methodical in court preparation and attentive to case details. He is accustomed to the timetables of litigation and the demands of brief writing in appellate matters.
Outside the courtroom, Steinhelfer has kept a presence in local legal circles. He joined the Central Ohio Association for Justice and the Logan County Bar Association in 2021 and continues as a member. That participation has given him contacts across county lines and a sense of how litigation practices differ from one courthouse to the next. He also maintains ties with peers who practice in the Sixth Circuit, where regional precedent can shape trial strategy.
Clients who come to his office can expect a lawyer who understands both trial work and the mechanics of appeals. His background — a liberal arts degree from Tulane followed by a Chicago-Kent law degree — supports a practice that spans local and federal levels. He works out of The Steinhelfer Firm and appears regularly in Ohio courts and before the Sixth Circuit. He practices law in Ohio and before the Sixth Circuit at The Steinhelfer Firm.
