Timothy J. Fetterly

Tim followed his family’s tradition when he elected to pursue law as a career. In his first ten years of practice, Tim worked on major fire/explosion litigation throughout the country, including industrial manufacturing fires, warehouse fires, church fires, hotel fires, agricultural fires, mill explosions and single and multifamily dwelling fires and explosions. Tim appreciates the need for developing a case from the incident forward and is familiar with and has worked with some the best origin and cause experts, electric engineering experts, metallurgists, material scientists and fire protection engineers in the nation. Since joining McCollum Crowley years ago, Tim has continued to focus his practice on fire/explosion litigation including recent cases involving a CNG explosion at a national manufacturer of commercial  vehicles resulting in multi-million dollar claims; a propane tank explosion resulting in multiple property damage claims; and another propane explosion at a lake cabin resulting in multiple fatalities and wrongful death claims.  Tim’s practice also includes a variety of tort and contract litigation claims including construction, vaccine, and commercial transportation. Tim welcomes the challenge of creating “out-of-the-box” solutions for his clients.

When not practicing law, Tim enjoys spending time with his wife, two daughters, and friends. He loves the outdoors, particularly biking in and around the Twin Cities. Tim is also an avid traveler and he has trekked in Nepal, Peru and northern Spain, fly-fished for Atlantic salmon in the Scottish Highlands, and experienced the good food of Provence.
