When you’re dealing with a workplace injury, you need an attorney who will stay responsive, explain the process clearly, and push your case forward. Tim W. English represents injured workers across California with the commitment to moving cases forward efficiently.
Background & Experience
Tim has been practicing law for 13 years, with 11 years focused on workers’ compensation. He was drawn to this field by a clear goal: to represent people directly and make a real difference in their lives. His interest in employment law, combined with that people-first mindset, led him to a practice area where he could advocate for injured workers navigating a complex system.
From the start, Tim has focused on helping clients cut through delays and move their cases forward as efficiently as possible. For most people, a workplace injury is not just a legal issue: it affects their ability to work and support themselves and their families. That’s why Tim is driven by the desire to ensure that our nation’s most crucial workers receive the support and care they need and deserve.
Education & Credentials
Tim earned his law degree from Santa Clara University School of Law in 2013 and is licensed to practice in California. He is currently awaiting certification as a Certified Specialist in Workers’ Compensation Law through the State Bar of California. He is an active member of both the California Applicants’ Attorneys Association and the California Lawyers Association.
Strategic Advocacy Backed by Experience
Leadership & Recognition
Tim plays a leadership role within the California Applicants’ Attorneys Association, serving as co-chair of the Regulations Committee and as President of the Santa Clara County Chapter. He helps shape policy and stays at the forefront of changes that impact workers. He has been recognized for his work through the Witkin Award in Employment Law, an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell, and a High Tech Law Certificate. Tim often speaks at industry events, including the CAAA Summer 2025 conference and the Winter 2026 convention.
Approach & Philosophy
When you work with Tim, you can expect direct, consistent communication and a clear plan for moving your case forward. He prioritizes responsiveness and often communicates by email or text so you can get timely updates without unnecessary delays. Tim helps break through the red tape that often slows treatment and benefits, while using the firm’s proprietary systems to streamline the process. He also takes the time to explain key issues, including how disability is evaluated and what to expect at each stage.
Personal Motivation
Tim’s motivation comes from both personal experience and what he’s seen firsthand. Growing up with a disabled sister, he saw how difficult it can be to navigate medical care, limitations, and day-to-day challenges. He also deals with his own significant low back condition, so he understands what it’s like to live with ongoing pain and physical restrictions. Because of that experience, he doesn’t treat your case as just paperwork. He knows how frustrating delays, denials, and uncertainty can be, and he focuses on helping you get answers, access treatment, and move your case forward without unnecessary setbacks.
Community Involvement
Outside the office, Tim remains deeply involved in his community. He volunteers with programs at Santa Clara University, supports the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and participates in local charity events, including bike rides and fundraising walks. He also supports local organizations, including the San Jose Police Department and the San Jose Police Emerald Society, as well as community events such as county fairs and high school programs. His involvement reflects the same commitment he brings to his clients: showing up, staying engaged, and supporting the people around him.
