About
Timothy S. Semelroth is a seasoned attorney based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, specializing in insurance and personal injury law. Raised in Hiawatha, Iowa, Tim has deep roots in the community and is committed to advocating for individuals facing the hardships of death or injury due to the negligence of others. Tim’s journey into law was influenced by his upbringing. Coming from a hardworking family—his father a factory worker and his mother a teacher—he understands the challenges that everyday people face. His parents instilled in him the value of playing by the rules, and he aims to be an ally for those who may find themselves in dire situations, often without knowing where to turn for help. His motivation stems from personal experiences. Standing at just five feet, two inches in high school, he wrestled in the 90-pound weight class, giving him first-hand insight into the struggles of being the underdog. This perspective fuels his commitment to leveling the playing field against powerful insurance companies that often seek to minimize or deny valid claims. Tim takes pride in being a voice for his clients during their most challenging times, ensuring they receive the justice they deserve. Outside of his legal practice at RSH Legal, Tim is actively involved in his community. He serves as a den leader for his son’s Cub Scout pack and enjoys playing sand volleyball with friends from high school. Additionally, he coaches middle and high school mock trial teams, sharing his legal knowledge with aspiring young minds. When time permits, Tim and his family cherish opportunities to travel, appreciating the beauty of Iowa even more after their adventures away. If Tim weren't an attorney, he might follow in his mother’s footsteps as a teacher. His love for learning and helping others find answers reflects his approach in the courtroom, where he strives to empower his clients every day.
