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.

Awesome workers' comp lawyer

I cannot say enough good things about Tim. He was very thorough from the moment we first met with him. He makes the very frustrating and convoluted workers' compensation process easier to deal with. Communication was always consistent, clear, and timely. We never had to wonder about the status of ...the case. I highly recommend Tim and his firm if you are exploring filing a workers compensation claim.

Highly Recommended

Tim helped my family and I with our Workers Compensation death claim after my father’s passing. He’s very knowledgeable, personable and committed to his work. He answered all our questions in a timely manner and ensured that all our concerns were heard. We got a really good settlement, thanks to Tim’...s dedication and hard work.

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!

  • 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.
