Great Workers Comp Attorney

I hired Tim English to handle my stalled Workers Comp case (18 months on appeal) and he brought it to a successful settlement within a few weeks. I wish I had hired him a lot sooner. I highly recommend him, he’s highly professional and knowledgeable, and so very nice to work with.

Thanks for the kind words Sharon! While this sort of speed is out of the ordinary, I was glad to help you reach a favorable and speedy resolution. All the best!

I would highly recommend Tim!

Tim walked me through my claim I filed with my employer. He explained what my options were and answered all of my questions. Tim was very easy to communicate with and I am very happy with the outcome of my claim.

Attorney Review

I can't recommend this law firm enough. My attorney is Tim English who I'm so grateful it was him I had. His Communication was fantastic. Mr. English is not only a great worker, he is very knowledgeable of all aspects of all the procedures beginning to end of the workers comp system. He is a very a...ccessible person He returns your texts, voicemails, or emails him, in a timely manner. My case for workers comp is over and now they are hangling my state case, which I also didnt know I could file. So you see I'm grateful for all his hard work and honestly that he portrays. He is very patient and kind at my age I need that! Im so glad he is the one who will continue on with my next phase, and I highly Recommend him!!!!

He listened.

If I had to wrap up what Mr. English did for me is that he listened. He stepped me through the process of dealing with workers compensation when I was injured at work and he protected my rights and got me a just compensation. What is far more important city help me keep my job. That was more importan...t than any compensation because my job is very important to me one might even say I'm rather obsessed with it. Mr. English understood my desire to continue to work in the field I'm in because the students I work with are the heart and soul of this country and whatever I can do to help them gain their independence I consider honor. But what I was injured I was not able to do that I could not get the insurance company to listen to me because they had a script, I understand why that is and their advocates for their client. I needed an advocate for me and Mr. English was it. He explained the process to me gave me options and listened and, at times comforted me when I was frustrated and angry.I will have to admit that I was physically ill getting a lawyer because of how I was raised, which is a very long story. But back in my day you never Got an attorney no matter what happened to you.You basically dealt with it that is a childish and in some ways selfish you that I had. Any precedent that is set by your case will help another injured worker and will actually also help insurance companies to provide workers compensation insurance provide better service. Mr. English gave me that "Birdseye" view and he was very encouraging as well. I thanked him for his sservice.
