About Tim
Tim Riswold moved from studying history into the practice of regulation. He earned a B.A. in History from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2014. He finished his J.D. at the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law in 2018. Those years shaped a realistic approach to the work he later took on as a clerk and then as a lawyer.
Early in his career he worked in legal offerings. In 2016 he served as a law clerk on the Legal Services of Northern California Mother Lode Office through the VLSP program. That role positioned him inside a nonprofit office where he assisted on instances and learned client intake, dossier control and the fundamentals of advocacy under supervision. In 2018 he spent time as a regulation clerk in the Law Office of Edward C. Koons, gaining hands-on exposure to the workflows of a small civil practice.
Shortly after finishing law school he moved from clerking to practicing. In 2018 he took on the role of lawyer at the Law Office of Edward C. Koons. Two years later he used to be indexed as a lawyer at Koons & Riswold, a difference that displays continuity in his work with colleagues he had already been related to. The move additionally marked his continuous presence in private practice in California.
Those steps—nonprofit legal work observed by time in a small personal firm—can form an attorney’s perspective. Riswold’s resume shows knowledge on both facets of that divide. He has treated duties typical for new attorneys operating intently with supervising counsel, and he has continued in client-dealing with roles since becoming a lawyer. He is a member of the State Bar of California and practices under that jurisdiction.
He remains primarily based at Koons & Riswold. His record shows an early foundation in legal offerings and a uninterrupted development into personal practice since earning his J.D. He presently practices at Koons & Riswold, offering legal offerings in California.
