Healthcare work injury

Tim is great to work with. He understands the anxiety and distrust people might experience in dealing with worker's comp. He is patient, quickly responds to all communication, immediately keeps you updated, helps you understand what you need to know, and doesn't pressure you into any decisions. He is... always friendly and approachable. Even from just the consultation alone, you can tell he cares about not only getting things done for his clients, but also their experience in general. He really took this burden off my shoulders, and I wouldn't have been able to navigate this without him.

He also got me a great settlement so if anyone needs representation do not hesitate to call and talk to Tim because I know you will be very happy that you did :)

Finding a Lawyer

I found myself in a bind and I needed a lawyer quickly. Mr. Tim W. English was referred to me by a friend. My experience with Mr. English was better than I could've hoped for. Very professional & friendly.

Excellent Legal Advice

I reached out to Tim regarding a current worker’s comp claim for some advice and direction. He was very thorough with his answers and showed a true interest in helping me. Tim asked many questions, gathering as much information as he could from me, and gave me good direction. I felt very confident ...moving forward. Tim also followed up and I dropped the ball on responding back. I very much appreciated the follow-ups. Overall, I had a very positive experience and would definitely recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
