Best attorney I have ever had!!

Mr. English has been my Worker's Compensation attorney for a couple of years now. I've dealt with numerous attorneys in my past for divorce/family law, (and small stuff of the same nature), but I am happy to say with 100% certainty that Mr. English has been THE BEST attorney I have ever had! His work... ethic is like no other & he just does a fantastic job all the way around....Always keeping me informed, or explaining things (sometimes in 8 different ways) until I understand it, he goes that extra mile, and is VERY attentive to my treatment needs. I can't fully put into words or express in this review how happy I have been with his services. I would HIGHLY recommend him (or his partner) to anyone needing WC representation. Maneuvering my case through unchartered waters during the period of COVID definitely presented Mr. English with more challenges than usual but that didn't phase him one bit. He dealt with all that whilst continuing to fight for the treatment I desperately needed.....and he succeeded at every turn, regardless of the "wrenches" (denials) the other side attempted to throw at him! Where other attorney's may not have put in the extra effort to fight for something that was originally denied, Mr. English got each and every negative decision overturned in my favor which allowed me to get the surgeries I needed. Over the past couple years and currently, I tend to "vent" alot to him about how broken the WC system is & how terrible "they" are to the patient. I know am preaching to the choir as Mr. English is well aware of how frustrating this process is for the patient, yet never cuts me off or gets upset with how long-winded I can be. He is compassionate and allows me my time, then keeps focus on what steps need to happen next in order to help get me the treatment I need. Work comp is a VERY frustrating and intimidating system to fall into. I've realized I could never have gotten the care & surgeries I needed without Mr. English & his expertise. Words could just never express my gratitude or how happy I am to have him on my side helping me stay strong and battle through all this. On occasion, when I've had a pressing issue come up while Mr. English was in a meeting or in court, I had a chance to work with his partner Mr. Wiesner, and he is also quite pleasant and very knowledgeable as well! Can't say enough about my positive experience with Wiesner & English and I hope my review helps you decide to go with them. I'm so glad I did!!

Awesome workers' comp lawyer

I cannot say enough good things about Tim. He was very thorough from the moment we first met with him. He makes the very frustrating and convoluted workers' compensation process easier to deal with. Communication was always consistent, clear, and timely. We never had to wonder about the status of ...the case. I highly recommend Tim and his firm if you are exploring filing a workers compensation claim.

Highly Recommended

Tim helped my family and I with our Workers Compensation death claim after my father’s passing. He’s very knowledgeable, personable and committed to his work. He answered all our questions in a timely manner and ensured that all our concerns were heard. We got a really good settlement, thanks to Tim’...s dedication and hard work.

Best decision I've made

The last few years have been by far the hardest and the darkest for me and my entire family. If there it was a "bright light" to shine and show a path, it was my attorney, Tim English. Tim's response time was always less than one hour! Tim patiently answered all questions I had regardless many oft th...em I asked more than once. Tim was always "watching over" and making sure I made the best decisions. There is absolutely no way I would have been in any position to protect my best interest in this long and extremely complicated process. Tim is not only very knowledgeable, but always eager to help and going out of his way to make sure I have all the information to make the best possible decision. Tim, thank YOU from the bottom of my heart!
