Timothy Kennedy Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Broomall

Timothy Kennedy Bio
Timothy Kennedy has been certified as a SPECIALIST in the practice of workers' compensation law by the Pennsylvania Bar Association's Section on Workers' Compensation Law as authorized by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.. Mr. Kennedy obtained his law degree (Juris Doctor) in 1992 from Rutgers Law School in Camden, New Jersey, where he had the very great honor of becoming a Law Review Editor, a distinction recognized by other lawyers as the mark of a truly ambitious and hard-working attorney. Tim was also a dean's list scholar and worked in the coveted position of research and writing assistant for the internationally known constitutional law expert who drafted the constitution of the Russian Republic in 1991 and forty other national constitutions world-wide. Tim also obtained perhaps the most impressive and immediate success of anyone in his law school class, securing a summer associate position with a large and prestigious Philadelphia firm after just his first year of legal study.. Graduating in 1992, Tim immediately took and passed the Pennsylvania Bar examination and was admitted to practice. By that time, he was no longer interested in leading or even joining the herd pursuing large firm practice. Instead, Tim was committed to representing injured individuals and creating great outcomes for folks who were injured at work only to see their rights abused and manipulated by insurance carriers and savvy employers. Tim set out to take on the insurance companies and slick operators, as an advisor and litigator fighting for individuals -- or better still, avoiding fights by arming his clients with superior knowledge of the "games" forever being attempted by workers compensation defendant employers and insurers who try to put protecting profits over doing right by their employees who suffer harm.For the past thirty-plus years, Tim has concentrated his practice on representing injured workers, persons who have suffered serious personal injuries, the families of those who have been killed under wrongful death circumstances and the survivors of persons who have died due to the effects of work-related injuries or illnesses. He knows the law and he knows the practice, with an astonishingly high success rate in getting the best possible results for his clients. Mr. Kennedy has established himself as a uniquely skilled and accomplished Pennsylvania workers compensation and personal injury attorney, appreciated by his clients, respected by his colleagues and feared by his adversaries. While his main office is in the Philadelphia suburbs, he is able to represent injured workers or their families throughout Pennsylania, where the practice of workers compensation has been largely "virtual" -- with hearings utilizing videoconferencing -- since the Covid pandemic.Rather uniquely, Tim's practice model focuses on maximizing the recovery for his clients, and very often employs the tactic of "stealth representation" -- where the emloyer and insurer need not know he is offering aid and advice to those with work injury claims, to get workers the benefits they need and deserve after a work injury. This allows him to exploit the missteps common among employers and insurers, to get workers on benefits and make those benefits binding and secure WITHOUT a fight in court, whenever possible. This can't be said of the "big billboard" workers compensation firms, with their legions of young, lesser-experienced attorneys, who want every claim to go immediately into court disputes so that their legal fee interests will be activated to pay for all the billboards. Mr. Kennedy, instead, favors strategic thinking and custom advice for each client's particular situation, playing thing out in ways that better benefit his clients. Decades of experience confirms that this will typically make the overall claim far more valuable, positioning his clients to be in control while boxing in employers and insurers within the confines of the law.. The Law Offices of Timothy Kennedy maintains a primary office on Lawrence Road in Broomall, Pennsylvania, convenient to the Blue Route and at the very center of the five county Philadelphia region.  Mr. Kennedy also maintains regional satellite offices and meeting sites at business centers accessible to all of eastern Pennsylvania, for the convenience of the firm's many clients from York to Scranton, Reading to Harrisburg, and far beyond. He also makes himself directly and consistently available to his clients by phone and videoconference, for the kind of excellent communication that gets claimants the best results. As his wealth of enthusiastic reviews shows, Mr. Kennedy and his staff give their all in putting the firm's clients in control of their valuable rights, giving them options and ultimately providing fully satisfying outcomes for their work injury claims.. Tim is a family man, with a wife of thirty-two-plus years, two sons and a very sweet and loyal goldendoodle.
