Tim Feth graduated summa cum laude from Central Washington University with a degree in philosophy and earned his law degree from the University of Washington with honors. During law school he worked for the nonprofit Hanford Challenge assisting with whistle-blower cases, clerked with the UW Division of the Attorney General’s Office, and interned at the Thurston County Office of Assigned Counsel. Tim also volunteered with two Clinical Law programs at UW, where he mediated cases in King County’s small claims court and taught the basics of law to students at Chief Sealth International High School. Tim began his legal career with Rafel Law Group in 2016 and became a partner in 2022.

Tim’s practice focuses on representing community association clients in nearly all aspects of general counsel and litigation. He has assisted clients in resolving pre-litigation building warranty claims and has successfully litigated construction defect cases to resolution. Tim enjoys the many challenges of community association law and helps his clients navigate, among other things, rule enforcement matters, governing document amendments, discrimination claims, and contract review.
