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...

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...
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!

Amazing Knowledgeable Worker Compensation Attorney.
Before contacting Tim I did not understand my rights under Labor Law. After making contact with Tim he thoroughly explained to me might rights, but most importantly to me he walk me to worker compensation process step by step. As results I received favorable work compensation settlement. Thank You!
While the workers' compensaiton system has been created to allow the injured worker to represent themselves, insurance carriers and defense attorneys make navigating this process on your own nearly impossible. So happy I can provide my assistance to you to provide a favorable outcome. All the best!

He went above and beyond, making me feel like I was his only client which I know by his actions is not true, but made me feel that way. I have already recommended Tim services to frie...
