So Grateful for Tim English’s Help

I honestly can’t thank Tim English and his team enough. From day one, Tim was easy to talk to, patient, and truly cared about my situation. He explained everything clearly and always made sure I understood what was going on, which really helped during a stressful time. Anytime I had a question, Ti...m or his office got back to me quickly and made me feel supported. I always felt like my case mattered and that he genuinely had my back. Thanks to his hard work, my case ended with a great result. I’m extremely grateful and would absolutely recommend Tim English to anyone looking for a workers’ comp attorney they can trust.

Tim English -a great and devoted attorney- a person you can trust and a person you can rely on

I got the injury at work. Nobody around me, neither my friends, my relatives, nor my coworkers have had any kind of work-related injury. I felt lonely, I didn't know what to do, I didn't know how to deal with the injury and the workers' comp insurance company. Then I googled and found the Weisner... English Law Firm. I am really happy with my choice. Tim is my attorney. He has done excellent jobs. Tim walks me through the whole process, fights for my benefits, consults me, and finds me the good doctors. Many times, my doctor(s) ordered the treatments, the workers' comp insurance denied the orders, then Tim helped me to overturn the denials. Those happened again and again. Every time he fought, he won. And I received the treatments I deserved. Thank you very much, Tim! I owe you a gratitude for your great helps! I reached the MMI in September. We had a court hearing yesterday, and we got a nice settlement. Thanks Tim! When I reached the MMI, the temporary total disability benefits ended. Tim instructed me to apply for the other programs and benefits that help me to maximize the income. That is a thoughtful help of Tim. If Tim didn't tell me, I didn't know the available benefits that help me survive during the difficult time. Whenever I have questions, Tim is always there to answer me, and he replies pretty quickly. Sometimes I have stupid questions, and Tim is patiently responding those. I have worked with Tim for more than 2 years. I can say Tim always goes above and beyond his duty. He is not only a nice but also a great and devoted attorney. He is the person you can trust. He is the person you can rely on. I am very happy to have Tim as my attorney, and I will ask Tim again for help if I need him in future. I would highly recommend Tim to my friends, my family members, and anyone that need a workers' comp attorney. Tim takes care all of the works for us so we have time to take care of our injuries.

I highly recommended

Mr English provided honest feedback regarding my work comp claim. He spoke with me VIA email on several occasions asking questions and answering my questions in a timely manner. He allowed me to pick his brain whenever I needed to. Although things did not go the way I had hoped he stuck with me an...d invited me to use other resources. I would highly recommend Mr English to anyone in need of his expertise. He is a fair and honest man.

Great worker's comp lawyer

I had the opportunity to work with Tim at the last stage of a 4-year long worker's comp claim. He took care of the compromise and release step, and I am pretty happy with the settlement that he secured. All of my calls and emails were answered promptly and efficiently. He is very kind and helpful and... genuinely cares about his clients. Looking back, I wish I had started working with him four years ago as dealing with the insurance company, rejected claims, the QME process and taking time off work were all very draining. Tim fought for a rejected physical therapy claim for me and it was approved pretty quickly. I admire his composure, work ethic and most of all excellent representation. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a supportive and professional worker's comp lawyer.
