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

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!

Professional

First I want to thank Tim English with Wiesner English, P.C. for stepping in to represent me in my work injury when I needed it the most. Tim is an excellent guy when it comes to getting clarity. He is upfront and tells you how it is without sugar coating it so you can ultimately make the best deci...sion for you and your family. I am not the type to leave reviews but I wanted to share my experience so that maybe one day he can help you through a tough time like he did with me. What stood out to me the most is Tim’s integrity because through this whole process he’s been accurate, honest, and truthful through his actions. Thanks again Tim I really do appreciate it!

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.

This is your dude! He knows what he's doing and CARES!

I got hurt at work, I work for the state,- it was suggested to me to get a lawyer right away. I searched high and low and made a few calls and spoke to quite a few lawyers... something just didn't feel right; finally I got a phone call from a compassionate voice- he listened and then shared some word...s of encouragement with me. I was hesitant, at first, to ask for anything- I had been given the run around, with accusations of untruthfulness, by the state doctors- then Tim dropped in like only he can! He got me out of the "state friendly" good ol boy club and got me some real doctors that are solution bound. Then the results started showing! I was walking again! Today I am back at work! Mind you- that was NOT my only option: there were 2 other options. I accepted the continue to work option and still got medical covered for the LIFE of this injury! AAAND enough compensation to live a little better, spread out through the next 3 years! Today, I'm still in pain but, I'm back to work...WALKING! I've heard there are no honest or "good" lawyers- THEY LIED! I not only found a good, honest lawyer but a person I call friend and dare I say BROTHER, in Tim! He's got my 6. I trust that. I trust him. So should you! So you know I'm just a guy: my name is Jay A, call me Wah. I'm retired out of Cal fire and work in caltrans. I'm a biker. So I'm a mixed bag of nuts- he speaks my language. Service.
