Extremely professional and polite

Tim English handled some Court appearances in my WC case with his colleague Marc Wiesner. He is amazing. Very polite guy but was able to press on the insurance company to follow CA law correctly. The opposing insurance company didn't know the law but Tim did! And I got the Temporary Disability funds ...that I was entitled to. Tim works well in the whole Katzakian law firm as a team are truly the best lawyers I have worked with. Feel free to pm me if you would like more information about Esquire English

Extremely knowledgeable, personable and responsive Attorney.

Excellent attorney! Tim knows the workers compensation process in California better than any other attorney I interviewed. He knows all the key players in the process and can guide you smoothly through very confusing system to get you the settlement you deserve, as he did with my case. Being my firs...t time through the broken WC process, I was very fortunate that Tim was there to guide me through it all.

Exceptional Service and Support!

I had the pleasure of having Tim as my lawyer. Words cant expess how much I appreciate him and his hard work. He always made time for me and my sometimes ridiculous questions. He always greeted me with a smile and treated me with respect and honesty. Workers Comp is a scary beast to deal with alone ...but with Tim's help it was manageable. He helped me through the toughest time in my life and career. Seeing me through to the close of my case and even offering me help with somethins after all was said and done. I would encourage anyone who is looking for help and guidance with their workers comp case to use Tim! He is honest, wont blow smoke your way, helps you figure out what is best for you and does his best to get you there.

Honesty and clarity

Tim was my primary for the law firm of Bo Katzakian. He is very communicative, clear, responsive, straightforward, and has to sense to be concise about the very complicated world of workmen's comp. He is very good at what he does and I'd actually go to the length of saying that he is a good person.... He had a very good oversight of my case and saw it through from beginning to end. Thank you Tim, and I wish you the best in your professional career and best for your family.

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.
