Workman's Comp

I have a serious work related injury. Retaining Mr Timothy Roberto as my attorney was one of my best decisions. Mr. Roberto and his team we're very professional and personable and kept me updated every step of the way. Mr Timothy Roberto fought hard and won my case. I highly recommend Mr. Timothy R...oberto.

Workers Comp Nightmare

From the very start it was an uphill battle. Sadly, I realized shortly after my incident that the workers comp. company, Sedgwick, would just keep pushing me around until I obtained legal representation. Tim Roberto is educated and was able to answer all of my questions throughout the entire process.... He went above and beyond to make a “less than ideal” situation manageable. Without Tim, I’d still be no farther along in this process than I was on day one. My particular situation and maybe yours too, can never be made right. Tim cares, legitimately cares about his clients. He pushes for fast and justified actions every single time. He stayed on top of my case and notified me with/on every update. If you’re in need of representation, consider me having done the leg work for you. Tim and his team, Jamie, moved mountains for me.

Best decision I made was hiring Tim.

I thought I wanted a super aggressive attorney. Tim's demeanor ended up being just what I needed to get my business settled. He was calm, thoughtful, and smart. All Tim's actions were well thought out and that made for a smooth resolution that was in my best interest (I wasn't feeling so patient...). Without naming names, Tim went up against some of the best attorneys in the state and had no problem dealing with their rather vile personalities. I would hire Tim without reservation and recommend him to anyone who has a valid legal claim they need help with. (Note: I worked with lawyers for years, that is why I answered more than 10 to the question below). Note I have never "sued" or taken action except in this instance. Tim resolved this in about 6 weeks, which is rather unheard of.

He has taken the time to speak to all of the clients that I have referred to him, counseled them on the law, and represented those who needed help. Working relationships with other attorneys are vital to any law practice and I appreciate Tim being a part of mine."
