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.

Tim English at Wiesner English, P.C. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Tim was extremely knowledgeable in my Union Workers comp case. He knows how to fight a case at any angle due to his wealth of knowledge, experience, patience and resources. He was always able to answer all my questions and explain the details of the case in way i can understand. Walking away from t...his unfortunate incident Tim truly put in the work for me to ensure I was not only covered financially but all my medical, insurance and any union matters are handled correctly.

Great Lawyer, just don’t plan on many phone calls.

Tim accepted my claims in about the first 5 seconds I spoke to his firm. He is very professional and has probably every answer you will be looking for in what seems like an impossible subject to understand, work comp. the only issue I had was a personal issue but should be mentioned in the event ot...hers are like me. Tim prefers email over phone calls and will make that obvious. Not at all a knock on him, I just preferred one on one conversation over email at times. That said, he never failed to take a call and answer my questions fully. He gets it. In regards to my case settlement, Tim was instrumental in offering his expertise and advice in what direction we could go and left every decision up to me. I rarely heard from him during my case which I learned is actually, a good thing. He knows what he’s doing. Not only would I recommend Tim to others, but have sent people I care about to him.

While it is hard for most work comp attorneys to jump on the phone for each inquiry, I am happy that we were able to work out a pattern that worked well for your case! Also glad to know you were happy with how everything turned out and that we got you a great result. All the best!

Tim W. English, one of the best Workers Comp Attorneys in the area.

My Son had a work injury around 2015 and Tim English was the lead attorney and settled his claim to our satisfaction. I sustained a work injury in 2018. There were disputes with my employer regarding liability and treatment and I felt I was being ignored. I contacted a workers' compensation attorney... and was connected with Tim English. Tim was very approachable, a good listener, responded to my questions in a timely manner and most importantly, he helped me navigate the WC/Disability system. Tim was constantly providing updates about my case and delivered what he promised. He gave me a voice during a difficult situation and followed through from beginning to end. I have found Tim to be a very professional, approachable, compassionate and well educated gentleman who always goes the extra mile. Even when I was at my wits end, Tim always kept his cool and even managed to calm me down. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking to navigate the difficult and often confusing workers comp system. Tim English has since launched his own firm, Wiesner English, P.C., so if you are in need of someone to assist you with your WC needs, hands down, Tim English is your man.

Highly recommended

Tim was my representative. He came in and helped me greatly through my case. He helped speed things along and helped me through this very difficult process. He was quick to respond to any and all questions I had, and was always very professional, thorough, and polite. He always came across very c...ompassionate and thoughtful which was greatly welcomed when trying to navigate the workers compensation process. I would like to thank Tim and his team for fighting for me, and helping me get through this case. 5 stars all across the board. I highly recommend him and his team.

  • 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.
