When one wins a case, the tendency is to give a glowing report. I want to set aside the fact that we won and tell you like it really is. Mr Kolman is excellent! He understands the law and practices it to the letter. He does not give up especially when he knows he is right and the law is on his side. ...His tenacity shows and I can vouch for that honestly because I sat in front of three judges and listened to him pretty much put the other sides lawyer in their place while speaking directly to the judges letting them know what the law governing out case states. He would not back down when challenged and in the end, he showed his superior knowledge which sealed the case. Aside from the legal proceedings, he is a gracious and fair man. Integrity is a way of practice for him and going through what we were going through, my wife and I needed that honesty. He has a sense of humor as well which made a few things more palatable. If you need a lawyer of this caliber, you need Mr Timothy Kolman!

I had the pleasure of working with Timothy Kolman on a very unpleasant labor issue with my former employer. I originally contacted Mr. Kolman regarding a hostile work environment that eventually transitioned into a wrongful termination. I was in a position of authority in my compay and prided myself ...on being efficient and productive. I was placed in a very awkward position when the owners of the company I worked for had hired one of their daughters to work for them under my supervision. At first the relationship was professional and seemed normal until two weeks into her employment she began to come in late repeatedly, not finish the work that had been designated for her and became very confrontational with me regarding almost any interactions we would have. After several weeks of this type of behavior I presented the owner (her father) with some of the issues I had been experiencing (which were all documented) and the owner was outraged, however he was outraged with me because in his words I was creating the negative environment. To make a long story short, my employment their became very stressful and I was uncomfortable with directing or even supervising his daughter anymore because now both she and her father were yelling at me and questioning everything I did. I had worked with this company for over 20 years and had never been given a bad performance review before, in fact all my reviews were positive and most resulted in a raise. Timothy Kolman took my case on a contingency basis (he didn't get compensated for his efforts unless I did) and prevailed in court with a very satisfactory settlement one week prior to our trial date. He helped me stay calm through out the process and always tried to paint a realistic picture of what both our expectations should be for the case. I would recommend Timothy to anyone that truly has a justifiable reason to approach a labor lawyer/

I highly recommend Timothy Kolman.He represented me for my case.Him and his firm were knowledgable and supportive to me. I was always able to get him on the phone when I needed him. He fought for me and did an amazing job.I have dealt with terrible lawyers before Tim was a breathe of fresh air.He r...eally listened to me.Most importantly he knows the law.

I was devastated when my employer terminated me and felt very lost. After calling Timothy Kolman and meeting with him to discuss my problem I knew this was the man for me. His experience with labor law became clear when after only several weeks he was able to mount an offensive strike against my empl...oyer that had them insisting on a quick settlement. Mr. Kolman pointed out all the different possible scenarios that I needed to consider and gave me his opinion but let me make the final decision. I was happy with the final outcome and would recommend his firm to anyone running into a labor issue with their employer.

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.
