Highly recommended for worker comp cases.

I can’t recommend Tim English highly enough. From the very beginning of my workers’ compensation case, he was professional, knowledgeable, and truly had my best interests at heart. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I understood each step of the... process. What really stood out to me was how dedicated and responsive he was. He fought hard for my case and made a stressful situation much easier to handle. I always felt supported and confident knowing he was representing me. Thanks to his expertise and commitment, my case had a positive outcome, and I’m extremely grateful for his help. If you’re looking for an amazing workers’ comp lawyer who genuinely cares about his clients, I highly recommend him.

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.

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.

Excellent Attorney and Human Being

I received a personal call back from Attorney English within 1 hour of reaching out to his office. He thoroughly vetted my case and answered all my questions and concerns, in addition to laying out a personal course of action to meet my needs. Mr. English is very knowledgeable, well spoken and abov...e all, a caring human being. I cannot say enough good things about him and I highly recommend him.

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.
