As a career law enforcement officer, I progressed from patrol deputy to investigating cold-case homicides, confronting profound tragedies that demand we internalize immense darkness to continue serving. This cumulative trauma often leads to severe psychological tolls, including alcoholism or suicide. Recognizing the need for help, despite the unspoken stigma in our profession, I entered therapy. After approximately a year of weekly therapy sessions, my therapist and I determined that ongoing exposure in my role was exacerbating my Post-Traumatic Stress, necessitating a leave to address it fully. I understood this decision would likely precipitate early retirement and require expert navigation of the complex Workers’ Compensation system.
That is when I reached out to Weisner English Law Firm to guide me. Attorney Tim English provided exceptional representation, advocating tirelessly for my interests throughout the process, which spanned over 18 months. He remained consistently accessible via phone or email, responding promptly and offering clear, supportive counsel at every stage. Weisner and English is a highly professional firm that approaches its work with utmost seriousness and dedication. They fought diligently to secure the just outcome I deserved, and I recommend them without reservation to anyone facing similar challenges.
