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.

great lawyer!

have been fighting with employer and WC for a long time. Tim helped me with every step and kept me posted along the way. we settled out with what i thought was a fair settement, but Tim was willing to go even farther, cant say enough about his drive and understanding! I was super worried the entire t...ime, but Tim was able to talk me off the ledge several times. if you need a WC lawyer, you absolutly need to request Tim! you wont be sorry!

They provide excellent service and i recommend this commpany. Your client Thanks! Benjamin

  • 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.
