Vindicated by Justice
Mr. McNair Advocated for me on my PA Unemployment appeal. My former employer had lied about the circumstances regarding my lay-off. Mr. McNair made sure that all of my rights were protected and eventually prevailed by letting my ex-employer's 3rd party benefits administrator know that our defense was willing to go to the mat.

Superb
Attorney McNair is a kind, caring, dependable and extremely knowledgeable professional. My situation pertained to a wrongful, workman's compensation related, termination. I made contact with Attorney McNair because I felt like I was being harassed by my employer. The free consultation was impressive . I was terminated a few months later and immediately hired Timothy. Attorney McNair made it possible for me to obtain a major surgery and medical treatment . He negotiated two settlements on my behalf that were life changing . During the entire process he kept me informed and my mind at ease. Everything was done in a timely manner on my behalf. My life is better now because of Attorney McNairs professional and personal service. He honestly cares about his clients.

Americans with Disabilities Act
Mr. McNair advocated for me on an ADA matter and was quick to respond. He stayed in touch with updates in a timely manner as well. Would highly recommend him to those facing employment issues or labor law questions.

Excellent Legal Representation
Atty. McNair has represented my wife and I in several legal matters. He has always been straightforward, honest and open with us. The work he has done has been excellent and I will continue to use his services in the future. In addition, I have, and will continue to recommend him to people in need of legal representation.

very professional and efficient.
I've worked with Tim for numerous years and have always been represented in a very professional and competent manner. I feel very comfortable knowing that he will not squander his time or my money billing me for work that was really not required. I also feel comfortable knowing that if Tim thinks the work might be outside his expertise he will advise and recommend other avenues. Highly recommended.

Workers Compensation
I would highly consider a different lawyer, didn't do anything to prepare for my case. Smart thing he did do was tell me 4 days before hearing that I did not have a chance, Thank you for that no sarcasm there, walked out hired a new attorney what a difference.
Response from Timothy McNair June 8, 2017
I am sorry you were not happy. My recommendation was based on the fact that the medical evidence was not sufficient to support your claim and that the Workers Compensation Judge is known to be very strict on the application of the law. I recommended that you withdraw and refile, which I offered to do. I am not surprised that your new attorney is more optimistic, since he is probably going by what you are telling him. Please accept my best wishes for success in your case.
