Savior

Atty. Tim English works for the Law office of Bo Katzakian and specializes in handling workers comp. I have Tim work my case and the results are nothing but perfect. He took care of me from day one and took the burden away from dealing with the insurance and my employer. All i have to do was provided... him with all the papers that he needed (mostly signing), from the day that he worked my case, i never have to deal with any stress and all i did was wait and relax and 6 months after, the settlement i did deserve was awarded. I was amazed on how quick and efficient the claim was given with all the pandemic and crazy things happening Tim was always working and was ready to answer to my sometimes nonsense questions. I highly recommend Atty. English if you want peace of mind and someone that will be compassionate and easy to work with workers comp lawyer. Nothing but professional and delivers on his promises.

Highly recommended

Tim is very knowledgeable in work comp cases. He helped me get treatment that I desperately needed as well as the compensation I deserved. He was very helpful and was available to answer any and all my questions in a very timely manner! I highly recommend him!

Tim English “Team Tim”

After many months of frustration, stress and the 5 year statute getting nearer I finally made the call to Tim English at the Bo Katzakian Law Firm. Scheduling a consultation with Tim was the best thing I could have done! A few minutes of my time changed everything. Tim took my WC case and fought... for back pay, penalties, medical and eventually a new award that had been settled years ago. As the saying goes “If I only knew back then what I know now.” I am grateful and confident I received fair compensation. I highly recommend Tim and his Team at the San Jose location.

Best attorney ever!!

Highly recommended! Tim English is the best wage claim / mis-classification attorney I've had the privilege to retain. He is absolutely reliable and highly knowledgeable about wage and hour laws. Beyond his unparalleled attention to details, Tim brings expertise and has a mind towards issue resolutio...n. His confidence is contagious. His mindset brings clarity and methodology to any chaotic situation. My experience with Tim far exceeded all my expectations!!

  • 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.
