Absolutely Outstanding!

Mr. Kolman represented me in a delicate employment matter which never went to court. I asked for his advice early on and he counseled me behind the scenes. He saved me my job and my livelihood and no one ever knew that he was my attorney. I can really recommend him for tactical expertise. Timothy Ko...lman is one hell of a lawyer. I have no idea why anyone would complain about them except that may be you can't please everyone, especially people who have been fired. Anyway, I was fired and Mr. Kolman filed an EEOC complaint from me which ultimately led to a lawsuit. He relentlessly went forward, leaving no stone unturned and even when the case looked hopeless, at least from my point of view, he stuck in there and ultimately succeeded in getting a good settlement. I couldn't be happier. After I was let go, I felt worthless. I didn't even know if I have a case. I ran it by Mr. Kolman. He said it might be difficult but he was willing to take a shot. You can't imagine how I felt when he ended up to opposing all the people who treated me so badly. I truly felt vindicated. It wasn't only about the money, it was about my dignity and the fact that I gave this company my best years. I couldn't recommend Mr. Kolman more highly.

Very creative and skilled trial lawyer

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.

Best attorney for your case

Mr. Kolman took my case when others turned me down. He understood that what happened to me, as a low level employee, was just as important as a high level one. My confidence in Mr. Kolman proved to be true. He never gave up, pursued every possible avenue, and was ALWAYS truthful with me. It was not n...ecessary to have many conversations with him because he gave to me a very clear outline/timeline of what to expect. Everything in that outline was exactly what happened. I can state, with no reservations, that if your rights have been violated, Mr. Kolman is the attorney for you. He has several offices and even if all of them are a long drive for you, it is well worth it. I only made one trip, presented my case, and Mr. Kolman took it from there. I am more than pleased with the successful outcome, but mostly I am grateful for the expertise, kindness, honesty and straightforwardness of Mr. Kolman.

Experienced And Tenaciously Effective

Every lawyer is faced with unknown circumstances that truly make up a case or non case. My case seemed clear cut to me, a "no-brainer" as some people might describe it. It was my case and these things that happened to me were real and damaging. When I first met Mr. Kolman he was very attentive to my ...plea for help and listened to all I had to say and I had a lot to say. My former employer had deliberately set me up to fail at my new job by not providing the proper training involved with a new promotion I had received. The position had clear objectives related to proper training and performance reviews etc.., that I had signed and agreed to. Several weeks passed and I had received no training for my new position but was still expected to perform my new duties regardless the circumstance. This new position required special training that could not be learned properly just through common sense. The reviews came and I was written up for bad performance and was placed on probation with still no training given to me. To make a very long story short In the end through tenacious persistence and obvious experience with employment law, Mr. Kolman was able to resolve my case to a very lucrative end. I was impatient, angry at my employer and too emotionally involved. Timothy was able to ground me and the case to a successful outcome. I would recommend Mr. Kolman to anyone who has a labor dispute or concern about where they work and who they work with. He offers free consultations and works on a contingency basis.

Mr Timothy Kolman Made Our Journey Easier

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!
