Timothy M. Kolman

I had the misfortune of being discriminated against by my employer due to my age. I had been with this company for 22 years and a new management team came in and changed all their personnel to a much younger group of people. My work was always exemplary and my attendance was perfect and yet they term...inated me for no reason. Timothy Kolman of Kolman Ely PC took my case on a contingency basis where they didn't receive any compensation unless we won. Kolman Ely was very professional and caring at the same time. They fought aggressively for me and always kept their sites on a trial by jury outcome. I believe they did such a great job with the case that the other attorneys had no choice but to settle prior to trial. Timothy negotiated on my behalf and never pressured me into a decision. We finally settled the matter and I could not be happier. I gladly recommend Timothy Kolman to anyone seeking legal help with an employment law matter.

My case was cumbersome and lengthy and we were up against a giant national corp with big-city lawfirms representing them. Mr Kolman worked with me from my first EEOC filing until we reached a settlement and if I had it to do over I would most definitely engage him to fight on my behalf. His knowled...ge of the law is amazing and he never gives up. His associates are excellent at what they do and were available at any hour. He was honest about the strengths and weaknesses of my case and was always focused on getting me the best outcome. He took time to explain the pros and cons of a particular course of action and set the proper expectations with me for each part of the process. What I learned and would pass on to anyone requiring an employment attorney is that you must be open to letting the attorney be the expert and trusting them to do the job. This is not an easy task when you have been through discrimination or harrassment on the job, I know. But give them all the information you have and let them figure out how to proceed. There are times you feel like nothing is happening, but that is just the nature of a case. Kolman was on top of every detail and I was well informed whenever necessary. The legal system is complex and can be intimidating but Kolman knows what he is doing and cares about getting you the best result.

I could talk about my case longer than it took .. I was fired from my dealership after 5 years of all kinds of harassment and discrimination .. I hired Mr. Kolman . 4 year case of Anxiety and work . From day one Mr. Kolman was honest and sincere .. This man is Brilliant , smart , professional,a...nd on top of all !!! he does his job like a pro. like the best lawyers we watch on TV .. Watching him in court .. Doing what he is good at .. Should be recorded and taped and taught to all law students in colleges .. That is how a lawyer should be . With the help of his assistant Charles .. We won against one of the biggest dealers in Pa in size and the smallest to none in manners and work ethic . I can't recommend a better law firm , and humans to feel with you . To turn your case to VICTORY . Thank you Mr.kolman.

I retained Tim for a discrimination matter that ultimately went to trial. My previous employer was determined to not admit any fault, but Tim successfully and eloquently argued my case and got the court to award many tens or thousands of dollars more than I had ever expected. He's certainly one of th...e top employment lawyers in Philadelphia and I would go back to him in heartbeat.
