Thomas J. “Tim” O’Neill, our longtime partner, colleague and friend, passed away on December 28, 2020. Tim was passionate about his work, was long recognized as one of the preeminent voices in the world of municipal finance and was one of the most sought-after lawyers in the region in bond matters.

A great story-teller with a keen Irish and always-very-dry wit, Tim was a partner at Lamb McErlane for more than 25 years. Everyone at the firm benefitted from his humor, his stories, and his unwavering enthusiasm for the law. He graciously mentored many younger lawyers in a complex area of the law and was exceedingly generous with his knowledge, time and talent.

Tim always strove for perfection, in both his work and his home life, and was deeply devoted to his faith. Most of all, however, Tim was a family man who cherished his time with his wife, Kate, his children and adoring grandchildren.

We at Lamb McErlane mourn Tim’s death but celebrate the way he lived his life.

We are better for having known you, Tim.
