About Tim
Tim Haga – Attorney, National Guard JAG Corps Officer, Sexual Assault Investigator and Police Officer. A wealth of knowledge here to assist you.
Raised in Swansboro, North Carolina, Tim grew up next door to Camp Lejeune. From a young age he knew he wanted to serve and protect. He joined the National Guard infantry in 1988 and then in 1994, after graduating from NC State University with an undergraduate degree in Finance, he left the National Guard to become a City of Raleigh Police Officer. After serving as a Police Officer for many years Tim returned to school and graduated from Campbell University Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law in 2005 with his Juris Doctor. In 2010 Tim was accepted into the NC National Guard JAG Corps, our country’s oldest law firm established to handle the legal needs of the United States military. Tim has served as a Sexual Assault Investigator leading investigations into accusations made in National Guard units across the country, as a Technician advising soldiers on legal matters and as a reserve officer.
Today, in addition to owning and operating his private practice, Tim is an officer for the NC JAG Corps and a police officer for a small town outside of Raleigh, however, he serves in a reserve capacity; he is not engaged full-time with either outfit. His full-time work is devoted to being an attorney in private practice. When he isn’t working or spending time with his wife, two children, elderly boxer and two crazy cats he can be found out in the North Carolina woods or panning for gold in a creek.
