Precise, Unrelenting & Compassionate

It's not often that I get the opportunity to commend a person or business. It is however with great pleasure that I do so now. I was battling a former employer of mine for terminating my employment with them due to what I believed was directly related to my disability. I had worked for this company f...or 8 years with a very good work performance history and not one complaint or work related issue to speak of, certainly nothing that was written up or documented. My case was difficult because the company I had been working with was bought out by another larger company and they "cleaned house". I was not the only person they terminated which made singling me out for my disability very difficult to prove. Kolman Ely (Timothy Kolman), took my case when no one else would. To shorten a very long story, after almost 19 months of back and fourth legal "stuff" my former employer chose to offer me a deal. Mr. Kolman's unrelenting position to go to trial frustrated the other side so much that they (in my opinion) were left with no options but to avoid trial. I am truly thrilled with my final settlement and can't say enough about how professional and human Timothy was during the whole process. Even when I thought my case was floundering Mr. Kolman always believed something good would come out of all the stress and anxiety my circumstance had created. I wholeheartedly and with great pride commend Kolman Ely PC for their work ethics and tenacity and highly recommend them.

Truly Amazing Representation

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.

POSITIVE OUTCOME :-)

With Kolman Law, my case resulted in a positive outcome. If it wasn't for their experience and tenacity, I'm not sure the results would have been positive. I have learned one thing about attorneys: you can have an attorney that is on your side. But, you can have an attorney that really intends on ...getting that home-run. Kolman Law did this for me.

Review of Mr. Timothy M. Kolman, Esq.

Mr. Kolman is intelligent, aggressive and will FIGHT for your civil rights!! My case was a long drawn out experience, mainly because of the defendant, but Mr. Kolman stayed the course and we settled with a favorable amount. Moreover, it shower the defendant that they CANNOT treat people with disrespe...ct. Thank you, Tim...you are the BEST!!!!

ADA Case

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.
