The opportunity to use his skills to help people through challenging transitions drives Timothy F. Rayne's commitment to the practice of law in two specialties-personal injury and family law.

Tim specializes in civil litigation, focusing primarily on all types of personal injury matters and family law (divorce, support and custody cases). "I find personal injury and family law particularly satisfying because I am able to help my clients through very emotional and often painful times in their lives," he says. "It's rewarding to be able to help vulnerable clients achieve a positive result so that they can move on."

After graduating with honors from the University of Delaware and the Widener University School of Law, where he earned several different academic awards, Tim went on to write more than 20 publications discussing family law, personal injury and civil litigation. His experience with these types of cases has helped him master the legal issues involved and understand how they affect his clients as people.

"The greatest challenge in family law cases is helping the client see through all of the hurt and anger in order to work towards a realistic settlement or litigation strategy," Tim says. "The challenge in personal injury cases is being able to tell my client's story in a way the jury can get a clear picture of how the accident happened and how it has impacted my client's life."

Tim practices in MacElree Harvey's Kennett Square office, and is active with the Kennett at Longwood Rotary and other local organizations, including the Kennett Run and the Kennett Symphony. He is also a member of the Pennsylvania and Chester County Bar Associations and the Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association.

In his free time, Tim enjoys spending time with his family. He also enjoys coaching YMCA sports teams and playing golf.
