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.

Tim English -a great and devoted attorney- a person you can trust and a person you can rely on

I got the injury at work. Nobody around me, neither my friends, my relatives, nor my coworkers have had any kind of work-related injury. I felt lonely, I didn't know what to do, I didn't know how to deal with the injury and the workers' comp insurance company. Then I googled and found the Weisner... English Law Firm. I am really happy with my choice. Tim is my attorney. He has done excellent jobs. Tim walks me through the whole process, fights for my benefits, consults me, and finds me the good doctors. Many times, my doctor(s) ordered the treatments, the workers' comp insurance denied the orders, then Tim helped me to overturn the denials. Those happened again and again. Every time he fought, he won. And I received the treatments I deserved. Thank you very much, Tim! I owe you a gratitude for your great helps! I reached the MMI in September. We had a court hearing yesterday, and we got a nice settlement. Thanks Tim! When I reached the MMI, the temporary total disability benefits ended. Tim instructed me to apply for the other programs and benefits that help me to maximize the income. That is a thoughtful help of Tim. If Tim didn't tell me, I didn't know the available benefits that help me survive during the difficult time. Whenever I have questions, Tim is always there to answer me, and he replies pretty quickly. Sometimes I have stupid questions, and Tim is patiently responding those. I have worked with Tim for more than 2 years. I can say Tim always goes above and beyond his duty. He is not only a nice but also a great and devoted attorney. He is the person you can trust. He is the person you can rely on. I am very happy to have Tim as my attorney, and I will ask Tim again for help if I need him in future. I would highly recommend Tim to my friends, my family members, and anyone that need a workers' comp attorney. Tim takes care all of the works for us so we have time to take care of our injuries.

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!

Best workers comp lawyer!

I am writing this review to recommend Tim English as Workers comp lawyer! I injured my shoulder and arm at work in 2020. I was dealing with workers comp and employee health myself for a while. However, it was getting more and more difficult to deal with them after it was obvious they did not want to... do anything about my injury. I called few lawyers who deals with workers comp but didn’t seem very helpful. But when I called Tim, things just went from dark to light! He was very approachable, very responsive to call or email, very knowledgeable and reliable. He made sure to give me a peace of mind. He is also very resourceful. In the end, we were able to settle in my favor. If you need a lawyer for your work injury, you should at least call him to have consultation! You won’t be disappointed!
