Mr. Kolman and his colleagues at Kolman Law are compassionate when it comes to communicating with clients and tenacious when it comes to serving their interests. They helped me through a difficult employment situation when others had told me that there were no more options but to take a devastating loss. Mr. Kolman has a sharp legal mind and the reputation and contacts to put it to use. If you are a working person who needs help, I highly recommend consulting this firm.

Timothy Kolman not only has a stellar legal mind, but his empathy for his clients is outstanding. I could not recommend him, or his team, more. He truly cares about his clients and fights for them.

Mr Kolman and his team were an absolute blessing to me. The knowledge, sacrifice and respect I received was top notch. His concerns for my overall mental health throughout the process was way beyond what I ever would have expected from a lawyer. The fast and easy communication between us gave me a sense of ease. I was never left in the dark about anything that was happening with my court case. Top notch lawyer I would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me!

A professional team who listened, cared and generated results. Having never dealt with this type of issue before, they thoroughly explained the various legal perspectives, discussed possible ways to handle it, and made sure I was comfortable in proceeding. There was no pressure, no up front cost, and no lengthy process. They kept me informed throughout and the end result was positive. I would highly recommend them to anyone in an awkward situation which may require legal help. (Seeing their fantastic office alone is well worth the time for a consultation.)

I honestly can not put into words how amazing this law firm is. Mr. Kolman told me at our initial meeting that he would get me something out of this case and fight for me, and he did just that! THe people that I mostly dealt with at the law firm are Timothy Kolman, Wayne Eli, Charles Sipio, Danielle, and Theresa Novelli. I am telling you, you will not be making a mistake if you go with this law firm.

Mr. Kolman exemplifies professionalism. He is courteous, punctual in responses, deliberative in thought and his judgement demonstrates his many years of experience and expertise. Additionally, his staff demonstrates similar professional qualities. This a firm I will continue to turn to in times of need and remains at the top of my recommendation list, as it was recommended to me. Mr. Kolman and his staff are a secret weapon. He truly understands, respects and is devoted toward the vital need of employment to humanity. I admire his work ethic and his service to the public.

Knowledge: There is not a single lawyer out there that is as intelligent, knowledgeable, polished, professional and well spoken as Timothy Kolman. He will take the time to communicate with you. I value Timothy and his team and trust him. He is a good person and a fabulous lawyer. Timothy has represented me twice and both times we won. I just love working with him and the other lawyers in his office. All are helpful and do not like when someone is treated unfairly. They will fight your fight and will not tolerate any nonsense from employers or people that discriminate against innocent victims. I can't thank Timothy Kolman enough for his candid personality, his talent and expertise in what he does. He is a true artist when defending you and your case. If I could give him 10 stars I would.

Knowing his practice included other attorneys, I expected to get a call back from one of his associates. Especially as the consultation was "no charge". But Tim took the time to call me and spent over 90 minutes with me on the phone. I had sent a 5 page synopsis of my situation and he clearly read it before calling me. Which made the conversation much more efficient. He was very patient, listened to everything I had to say, explored every possible scenario with me, and did not give me any indication that he needed to hang up. He was sensitive, concerned, and stayed with me and talked with me until I was 100% convinced and comfortable with the course of action I needed to take. He clearly had the right experience to advice me on my claim. I would recommend Tim Kolman to anyone who feels they have a discrimination claim. Thank you Tim.

After literally being abandoned by my long-term attorney when the going got tough, Tim Kolman and his team stepped in with energy, intelligence, and passion to pick up the pieces, to build a winning attack plan, and to ultimately resolve an employment dispute that had been outstanding for over seven years.
Tim's deep experience -- and his calming counsel -- both won the day and helped me and my family through a very, very difficult time. I can't thank Tim and his team enough. Without his outstanding perspective, his endless energy, his deep intelligence, and his proven experience, I am certain we would have come-up empty in this litigation.
If you have been treated unfairly, and you need a "modern gladiator" to be a champion your family, you need Tim Kolman. You can't do better. My wife and I trust him implicitly, and we are very happy to give him our highest recommendation.
Sign me "Very Happy Fan of Tim Kolman in Jacksonville!"

After 15 years with my the top healthcare company in the world, I suffered discrimination and retaliation. I looked for a super labor lawyer to defend my rights and found one with Tim! He took the time to fully understand my case and offered highly strategic advice. His responsiveness is amazing. I highly recommend him!

I retained Mr. Kolman for a wrongful termination and was extremely pleased with the results. He fought hard for me with little to go on and exceded my expectations for an outcome. He and his staff were very helpful in a stressful situation. I highly recommend him.

There is not a high enough rating I can give to Mr. Kolman. He is honorable, tenacious, and compassionate. His service to clients goes far beyond anything I ever expected. He helped me maneuver through a very difficult and trying time in the workplace, making me feel hopeful and listened to. His genuine concern for my situation and my well being helped change my situation from one of fear to one of empowerment. I am so grateful, and highly recommend him and his firm.

Mr. Kolman is both honorable and talented. His staff, paralegals and administrative team is responsive and competent. He brought me justice against a company that is one of the world's ten largest, withunlimited respurces. He matched them and beat them from every legal technicality. Most appreciated was his advocacy and protection from their abusive, intimidating actions both in deposition and out of court. He remained committed to me over the lengthy process. He was accessible and communicative. A good human being as well as a talented, tenacious advocate/attorney. In the various strategic decisions throughout the case, he was right in his direction. His firm's attorneys also provided excellent additional support at key junctures. I am fortunate to have had Timothy Kolman as my attorney.

Throughout the duration of my case, Mr. Kolman and his firm made me feel comfortable and protected. I was always confident in their expertise and efforts to achieve the best possible solution in this matter. I was not disappointed. They were the absolute BEST attorneys I could ever want. They took me through every step of the legal process, answered questions, and represented and protected me throughout. I highly recommend Mr. Kolman and his firm. Mr. Kolman's knowledge base of employee-employer relations and the legal aspects are outstanding and I never doubted his judgement. Any and all questions were readily answered and I was always reassured that the law was on my side. They dealt with the opposing side and defended me to the utmost. All of my paperwork and forms were professional and thorough. If I requested coppies of documents, I had them in a few short days. I would recommend Mr. Kolman to anyone who needed assistance in this type of representation.

Outstanding service from Tim Kolman and his firm. I loved the fact he was always looking out for my best interest. That was his first priority. Great integrity and overall great service. I always felt confident his decisions were spot on. Always making me feel well respected and a part of the process. Thank you so much Tim for a job well done. I would highly recommend Kolman and Ely. Outstanding job!

Mr. Kolman was a true professional and is very passionate about his work. I'm a police officer in a small community and was retaliated against because I uncovered back door deals my boss was involved in. Mr. Kolman made me whole and I was very pleased with the outcome of my case. If you are in need and want real help this man will fight for you. I highly recommend his services to anyone with workplace issues.

An outstanding attorney and a wonderful human being. Tim resolved my issue rapidly and equitably. He is a true professional and is highly knowledgeable, not only of case law, but also of human nature. His guidance was spot on and HE GETS OUTSTANDING RESULTS.

I had a very positive outcome, but my case was cumbersome and lengthy and we were up against a giant national corp w/big-city lawfirms representing them. If I had it to do over I would most definitely engage Kolman to fight on my behalf. His knowledge is amazing and he never gives up. His associates are excellent at what they do and were available at any hour. He was honest about the strengths and weaknesses of my case and was always focused on getting me the best outcome. One piece of advice is that you must be open to letting the attorney be the expert and trusting them to do the job. Give them all the information you have and let them figure out how to win. There are times you feel like nothing is happening, but that is just the nature of a case. Kolman was on top of every detail and I was well informed whenever necessary. The legal system is complex and can be intimidating but Kolman knows what he is doing and cares about getting you the best result.

I just want to say that Mr.Kolman and his staff were great. I was a little concerned because the case was moving a bit slow but I can really say with the outcome they were still working my case for me. We did win the case and my daughter and I are truly grateful. In the beginning of my situation I went to another lawyer and what he told me was to find another job which left me in tears. I am so glad that I didn't give up. Thank you Thank you Thank you

I am so glad that I had Mr. Kolman on my side. I approached Mr. Kolman. after I was fired and I was really sad & confused. I didn’t really know what my situation was, what were my rights and what should I do. He got my situation immediately (10 min conversation because he actually LISTENS to what the client says) and helped me understand the whole legal process, which can be very confusing, answered all my questions and was extremely understanding. He knew immediately that my employer was breaking the law. He also made himself remarkably available, by responding to all my emails and phone calls very promptly. I ended up getting more than expected and I know without Mr. Kolman I would have ended up giving up the money just because I didn’t know how to get it. All in all, I am very relieved and so very happy with the outcome of my case.

When one wins a case, the tendency is to give a glowing report. I want to set aside the fact that we won and tell you like it really is. Mr Kolman is excellent! He understands the law and practices it to the letter. He does not give up especially when he knows he is right and the law is on his side. His tenacity shows and I can vouch for that honestly because I sat in front of three judges and listened to him pretty much put the other sides lawyer in their place while speaking directly to the judges letting them know what the law governing out case states. He would not back down when challenged and in the end, he showed his superior knowledge which sealed the case. Aside from the legal proceedings, he is a gracious and fair man. Integrity is a way of practice for him and going through what we were going through, my wife and I needed that honesty. He has a sense of humor as well which made a few things more palatable. If you need a lawyer of this caliber, you need Mr Timothy Kolman!

Mr. Koleman handled my wrongful termination lawsuit against my former employer with ease and brought this lawsuit to a very lucrative end.

I contacted this firm over two years ago. From the initial interview I was impressed but am now irritated. No calls returned, excuses constantly. Even with an EEOC ruling of ADA violations. Every time I call his firm he is "away". Everything that has been done so far, I had to do. Will begin searching for a new attorney tomorrow. Will give him one more call and that is it! Will let you know.

I have read through the comments and I can only say that I do disagree with various statements regarding Mr. Kolman's services. You must be knowledgeable about your case but, you also must be understanding that he has MANY clients and that you are not the only one who has a case that his firm is representing. Mr. Kolman and his staff were always available when I called. If he wasn't he did follow up via email or text me to ensure that I knew the progress of my case. I did NOT expect him to be available 2-4-7 but he always seemed to be. He fought my case with much tenacity and I must say I was more than happy with the results. I would HIGHLY and without any apprehension recommend Mr. Kolman. He is a fighter and will not back down. Thank you very much.

I went with a family member here after they were "let go" due to age. We spoke directly with Timothy Kolman and he assured us the case was a sure win due to the evidence we possessed. BOTH of us also heard him promise he would be the one who would directly represent us. Naturally, months progressed and we heard nothing, as we assumed more evidence was being gathered and people were being subpoenaed to appear in court. We were finally given a preliminary court date and did not hear from Mr. Kolman until the day before. We were also shocked to find out we weren't being represented by him at the last minute. When being interrogated by the other side's lawyers, the Kolman firm's lawyer never once stood up for us! Afterwards, when we had follow-up questions, he said, "Now isn't a good time because I’m hungry". If this is the kind of service you get from this firm, you'd be better off purchasing a book on law and represent yourself. This is not an isolated incident.

Timothy Kolman Of Kolman Ely PC Spent many hours reviewing my possible case. He presented the circumstances associated to my case in a clear and genuinely responsible way. Although the journey was long in the end we prevailed and brought some form of justice to the organization that made my life so difficult. I want to personally thank Mr. Kolman for his patience and understanding.

Speaking from experience as a client of Kolman and Associates, I would avoid them if at all possible. I was promised aggressive representation, which never happened. I was promised communication and again that never happened. My case was given to a junior associate who quit the firm and I was never even notified. The paralegals gave me wrong information, and presented themselfs as the legal professional denying me the right to talk to my Attorney. I have proof with several emails that were sent and not responded to, as well as personal messages that were left for Mr. Kolman and his partner Mr. Ely, they never once returned my calls or offered help. Once this firm found out that my employer was fighting back, they put their tail between their legs. There was no aggressive representation at all. Infact I was treated like the a defendant, and not a client. Please look at the reviews of this firm you will see a pattern. Mr. Kolman I welcome a conversation with you!

WOW,they wanted to settle @ EEOC level deciding to take a minimum reward that even @ that level could have and should have exceeded the amount by at least 4x,an inexperienced junior represented me which whom I did not even meet until the day of my hearing.This firm is only out for a quick settle and are not for your best interest.Please look around and do your homework before settling with this firm or you will be disapointed, Oh and by the way,do you believe this firm wants me to pay the taxes on the money that they will receive for representing me,WOW!!

In working with Mr. Kolman, I found him to be professional and very astute in his knowledge of handling my case. He was accessible and always available for any questions that I may have had. I thoroughly would have no problem recommending him to other individuals which I have done so. It was a pleasure and I did indeed win my case!

Kolman and his staff were gracious, respectful, did give us honest expectations, and 2 yrs later, my coworker and I were compensated for age discrimination by a local, now international company. Happy? Yes, we were. We felt vindicated and heard, and we got paid for it. So did Kolman and his staff. Lawyers are business people first, and then help you get the best of their services. I shopped around before I found Kolman, who was referred to me by a NJ judge and 2 excellent defense attorneys from NY. He was excellent and several people who have had previous issues with employers, I have send them his way. We get what we ask for, so you can complain about someone, but you must do 100% research on your case. I do think he is credible and honest. We all got paid in the end. Excellent staff and lawyer!

"Timothy Kolman took my case when other attorneys turned me away. He believed that I was wrongfully terminated and gave me the support I needed to recover money that I had lost during the 18 years I worked for this former business, I would like to recommend Timothy Kolman & Associates to anyone who might need help in an employment matter.

I hired Tim in May and have not spoken to him since Aug. He NEVER returns calls, and his paralegals lied to me about your case status. She told me she filed the right to sue letter since Sept I recently found out she only filed once in Jan. I received a letter from Tim stating my six months is approaching which in fact it has been 10 months. I would not recommend him to anyone. He was very nice on the first appointment, but since he has told me nothing about my case.
