Timothy M. Kolman

Employment law is not always cut and dry, unfortunately there are more cases in the "grey / gray area" than their are in the black & white category. I am an attorney myself who specializes in criminal law and deferred my own labor issue to Timothy Kolman from a friends recommendation. Tim's firm outl...ined the strategy they wanted to take in my case and explained why in my specific case that prolonging the case would be beneficial in the long run. I was very anxious and impatient about the whole situation but decided to listen to the expert. There is a reason why we have professionals handle things for us in life. We call on dentists to treat our teeth, cardiologists to treat our hearts and landscapers to care for our lawns. Even though I am a lawyer myself I still handed over my case to the professional that only handles employment law cases. With that said people who may have been taken advantage of by their employers are generally very upset and frustrated by the time they seek out an attorney to help them. They might think that fast action is what is needed when in fact patience might be the best course of action. Law often times comes down to negotiation, compromise and always involves peoples emotions. Hence the terrible stories you may have read about bad divorces. Usually when someone complains they complain because they did not get what they wanted, but that reason alone by itself should not be the only reason a good lawyers efforts and reputation be destroyed. Timothy Kolman was able to win my case for me, however it did take almost a year to resolve and the cash award was not what I would have preferred, but I was never misled into thinking more was expected. In fact tim's firm always presented a conservative and careful perspective on any type of eventual award. Often times it is us the customer that engages in wishful thinking because our emotion is involved. We as victims of our employers do not normally see the law process as a business but unfortunately it is a business. Law is a business for everyone involved and sometimes the business is very profitable and sometimes it's not as profitable. If your case is just and the damages are grave, in most cases some type of justice will prevail. However, we almost always never get what we want, it just does not work out that way. I would recommend Timothy Kolman to anyone who wants a clear and honest firm to tell it like it is, no matter how painful or unsatisfactory it might be to them.

Mr. Kolman helped me during a very dificult time in my life. I was taking care of my mother who's health had gotten very bad and then found myself also running into some medical issues. Caring for a family member that is not feeling well is hard enough, imagine not feeling well enough to help your ow...n mother. I was at a point in my life where I needed to take a break so that I could get well enough to not only take care of myself but of my mother as well. I needed time off of work, but they would not give it to me and I had no choice but to take the time I needed to heal myself and my mother. Timothy Kolman helped me so much during this ordeal and helped me find the strength to face the company that I worked for for over twenty years. We faced then together and with Tim's help I was able to get healthy and eventually get my mother feeling better as well. It's not often you can turn to someone for help and they actually do really help!

I am proud to recommend Timothy M. Kolman to anyone who is experiencing problems at work or has been fired and feels they have been fired unfairly. Tim was very supportive during an extremely difficult time and helped me find the strength to continue on when I just felt so frustrated. His experience ...and sensitivity towards my my case was what kept me going. I will always be grateful for his professionalism and his friendship.
