Best personal investment ever

Being an injured worker and not knowing how or where your help is going to come from, leaves you scared and afraid. Upon contacting Tim and meeting him, very polite, explaines what was going to happen and his role of being my advocate to navigate the workmans comp river. Rim immediately secured the p...aperwork that workmans comp failed to tell me I needed to fill out and got behind me protecting my rights as an injured worker. Rim answerd my calls in a more than timely fashion, emails whatever it was he had the answers! He knewand knows the system, and as each case is different his skills made it possible to communicate into laymans terms, so that I could completely understand. Had I waited one (1) more week my outcome would have possible, no my outcome would have been different and I would have been lost on my on. I emplor, any injured worker no not wait ro seek and retain council, my money is on Tim English, of the Bo Katzakian Law Offices! 4 years and he secured me a very large settlement! Trust me it was not easy and the work was hard, but without someone in your corner who knows how to file the required paperwork and make moves to counter the not friendly workers comp insurance companies! Whose only job is to work for the employer against you!!! Tim didnt let me feel like it was my fault that I got injured! I was doing my job and it showed in his work ethics and vast valuable knowledge of the complex poly systems, from securing the right medical doctors, correct paperwork, negotiating and standing in the gap, when I got very tired. Thanks Tim English esq. You went above and beyond and Me and my family thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Great Laywer

Tim English is an outstanding lawyer, he helped me get through my workers compensation case with ease. He always responded in a professional timely manner to emails, voicemails, etc. He worked hard on my case, to get me the money I deserved, and was there to answer any of my concerns throughout the p...rocess. I'd definitely recommend hiring him as a lawyer, because he truly cares about working hard for his clients, to make sure their needs are met.

Excellent Work

I had the good fortune to have Tim English represent me in my Workers Comp claim. He left little doubt about his thorough knowledge and skill of handling the challenges of the Workers Comp system. He quickly deduced in our first meeting that my employer was underpaying me in medical leave. Tim was ve...ry clear and concise in keeping me well informed to make decisions through the process that led to the best possible outcome for a settlement. I am grateful to Tim English and would highly recommend his expertise.

Review of Tim English

Working with my employers insurance company, was a nightmare, after a year and a half, I was not getting anywhere with my workers comp claim, I contacted Bo Katzakian and they got my case on track. With their help I received lifetime medical And a settlement that I was happy with. Tim English was th...e main person on my case, he was professional, caring and kept me in the loop throughout the whole ordeal. I would give 6 stars if I could.
