Rapid Response Excellence

What I appreciated most about my lawyer , Tim, was that I could count on him to get back to me fast. I had lots of questions, he gave great advice, and again, he was so very quick to get back to me. I truly felt represented by a knowledgeable professional that had my best interest at heart. Tim was k...ind, patient and listened. In the beginning when I was looking for an attorney, I was shocked by the lack of response, or interest, by the various attorneys I had called. I was very fortunate when I found Tim English, Esq, from the first call I made to him, and throughout this WC journey, he took care of everything. I definitely recommend Tim. Oh, and A+ with compassion, I probably whined too much about pain and challenges… reflecting , he was gracious to me.

So Grateful for Tim English’s Help

I honestly can’t thank Tim English and his team enough. From day one, Tim was easy to talk to, patient, and truly cared about my situation. He explained everything clearly and always made sure I understood what was going on, which really helped during a stressful time. Anytime I had a question, Ti...m or his office got back to me quickly and made me feel supported. I always felt like my case mattered and that he genuinely had my back. Thanks to his hard work, my case ended with a great result. I’m extremely grateful and would absolutely recommend Tim English to anyone looking for a workers’ comp attorney they can trust.

Workers compensation

I can't thank Tim enough for helping me with my workers' comp case. From the start, he was very friendly and explained everything in a way I could understand. He was always there to answer my questions and kept me updated on what was happening. I didn't expect to get much from my settlement, but T...im worked really hard and got me a lot more than I thought I would get. His knowledge and dedication really showed through. He made sure I understood each step and never made me feel rushed. If you're looking for a workers' comp lawyer who really cares and knows what he's doing, I highly recommend Tim. He did an amazing job for me, and I'm really grateful for all his help. He's the best!

Tim English, Hero

When I had a work injury & my works Insurance didn't want to take responsibility I met with & hired Tim English. He was very easy to talk to & straight forward and has stayed that way thru the whole experience. He was on top of every problem the insurance company and state threw @ us by the time I kn...ew about it. Always making sure my medical & payments were taken care of & got me a good settlement in the end. A couple friends were very upset their attorneys weren't Tim. After it was all finished Tim got ahold of me & asked a couple questions and said he thought I qualified for a SIBTF case. He just won that case, which is huge, unexpected financial help. I don't know how to express how great Tim has been.

The Best

Tim was the only workers comp attorney that gave me the time of day when the pandemic first hit. While attorneys were waiting for the onslaught of covid cases to come piling in, I was trying to navigate a biological/chemical exposure case that nearly killed me. I was pushed off by attorney after ...attorney except for Tim who took my call immediately and was in my corner till a settlement was reached. Tim was an advocate for me when I was reduce to nearly nothing and he constantly treated me with respect and dignity. His knowledge and insight of the system were invaluable and he approached every interaction with me with calm, collaboration and empathy. Simply put, Tim helped me ensure a future for myself when my former employer would have preferred to sweep me under a rug. Professionals and more importantly, human beings, like this do not come around often.
