About Timothy
Timothy Sifers earned his J.D. from the University of Missouri - Kansas City School of Law in 2000. He completed his legal education at UMKC and entered the bar shortly thereafter. The timing of his degree and bar membership places him among attorneys who began practicing at the turn of the century.
He was admitted to practice in Missouri in 2000 and maintains admission in Kansas as well. He has held membership in The Missouri Bar continuously since 2000. That steady affiliation has provided a professional anchor while he developed his practice across state lines.
Sifers joined Potts Law Office, LLP and rose through the ranks to become Managing Partner for the Kansas City office in 2011. In that role he took on administrative responsibilities alongside client work. He has overseen day-to-day operations for the office while also advising clients on matters brought before state courts in the region.
Colleagues describe him as practical and straightforward in his handling of legal matters. He favors clear explanations over legalese. That style aims to make complex procedural and evidentiary issues accessible to clients and witnesses. He is known for steady courtroom presence and steady case management, rather than headline-making litigation.
Outside of firm duties he has kept active ties to the bar. His continuous membership in The Missouri Bar since 2000 has kept him connected to developments in state law and professional standards. He has practiced in both Kansas and Missouri courts, which has required attention to differences in procedure and local practice. That experience has shaped how he prepares pleadings and organizes pretrial work.
Throughout his career Sifers has balanced leadership responsibilities with client work. As managing partner he coordinates matters across the Kansas City office and contributes to firm policy and staffing decisions. He remains based at Potts Law Office, LLP and continues to handle cases in the jurisdictions where he is licensed.
As of 2026 he practices from Potts Law Office, LLP’s Kansas City office, representing clients in matters arising under both Kansas and Missouri law and managing the office’s caseload and operations.
