Excellent Lawyer

I can say that i would recommend Tim to anyone who is dealing with horrible Insurance Companies that are trying to do everything but not be responsible for their employees. Tim didn’t represent me but he gave me advice and helped me through the most stressful times. Please call Tim or email he res...pond immediately and even do he doesn’t represent you he keeps in touch how everything is going.So Thank You Tim.

Successful Settlement

I was being denied care for my work injuries for a period of time. Then I found Mr. English and I was able to get the proper treatment. He helped with getting accurate assessments for my injuries, proper care and treatment that I was seeking, and I finally had someone that had my best interest at hea...rt. Mr English was responsive to my concerns and needs throughout the whole process. He was professional and made me feel comfortable and I finally felt that someone was on my side. His team went over and beyond to seek the medical care I needed to overcome my injury, with having two surgeries on my hip, if it wasn't for Mr. English and his team I would not have received the proper diagnoses, treatment, or care to properly recover. I would like to thank Mr. English for all his hard work, dedication, passion and knowledge of the justice system in helping me with the outcome of my case.

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.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
