Workers compensation

I can't thank Tim enough for helping me with my workers' comp case. From the start, he was very friendly and explained everything in a way I could understand. He was always there to answer my questions and kept me updated on what was happening. I didn't expect to get much from my settlement, but T...im worked really hard and got me a lot more than I thought I would get. His knowledge and dedication really showed through. He made sure I understood each step and never made me feel rushed. If you're looking for a workers' comp lawyer who really cares and knows what he's doing, I highly recommend Tim. He did an amazing job for me, and I'm really grateful for all his help. He's the best!

The Best

Tim was the only workers comp attorney that gave me the time of day when the pandemic first hit. While attorneys were waiting for the onslaught of covid cases to come piling in, I was trying to navigate a biological/chemical exposure case that nearly killed me. I was pushed off by attorney after ...attorney except for Tim who took my call immediately and was in my corner till a settlement was reached. Tim was an advocate for me when I was reduce to nearly nothing and he constantly treated me with respect and dignity. His knowledge and insight of the system were invaluable and he approached every interaction with me with calm, collaboration and empathy. Simply put, Tim helped me ensure a future for myself when my former employer would have preferred to sweep me under a rug. Professionals and more importantly, human beings, like this do not come around often.

5 STAR REVIEW FOR ATTORNEY TIM ENGLISH Filing for Workers Compensation benefits can be a pain and overwhelming for sure. All the denials, unanswered requests for medication for relieve of pain, different doctors assigned to but never goes through, and just so much more emotionally, physically an...d mentally. One thing I’ve learned for sure, is that WC is a scary, and filing for WC is much scarier, but with the right strong, knowledgeable, go-getter, competent, consistent etc.… Attorney such as Tim English? You will be for sure planning a promising FUTURE. I went through the whole 9 yards of it all starting from the day I was asked to stay home from my Employer because my job was unable to accommodate me anymore after placing me on light duty. The very first day I stayed back home is when I searched online for a WC Attorney and thank God, I found Tim English. Tim English and I started connection through email and was really understanding and ready to help in every way, Attorney English also assured me that he will guide me along the lines of the WC Process. For 2 years Tim and I have been contacting through email. I must say that all his emails were transparent, there was nothing Attorney English said he was going to do and did not do, he did it all. He is an Attorney of his word. He listened to all my moments of hardship, struggle and pain as we moved along with my case. Furthermore, id like to say that there was never a time I wondered about my WC case, Attorney English handled everything with grace and much wisdom and Knowledge. I felt the calmness of being on this difficult, hard, never-ending confusion, and anger road of WC process, THANKS to the awesome hard work, intelligence, knowing his work and especially his turn around time of same day Answers for all my emails and phone calls. when I had crazy absurd questions, I’m sure he thought many times, but Attorney English always answered back with truth and honesty. Attorney English will always be my #1 recommendation WC Attorney because of his HONESTY, HARD WORK, Sincere care and love for his clients. He not only works hard on their behalf but serves clients as if we were his family members. For that? My whole family and I will always be thankful. Finally, Attorney English completed my case with a significant settlement and Benefits offer advice that helped my struggling family today and possible future. I am forever grateful for Attorney English for all his hard work. Attorney English push in every area of my case, that has brought me to a Strong ending and great beginning for my family. Even after my case is done Attorney English still helped me navigate my new outlook and experience in another field of job in the future. God Bless Attorney Tim English in all he does. He is the right Attorney for you when it comes to Workers Compensation, He is Your Guy! Best, Laveaina F. Faalau
