Thomas Andrew Balerud's Peer Endorsements

Tom and I have worked many case together through out the years. He is by far one of the best lawyers I've ever worked with.

I endorse this lawyer. Great attorney, that always comes up with new ideas in the representation of his clients.

I have known Thomas Balerud, a Tacoma, Washington criminal defense attorney for twenty years. We were classmates at the University of Puget Sound Law School. Since then, both of us have practiced in Tacoma. As a result, I have had the opportunity to assess his competence as an attorney first hand. On many occasions, I have observed Mr. Balerud in court during pretrial and trial sessions. He exhibits excellent communication skills and relates well to juries. Tom Balerud engages in a great deal of preparation for court appearances. His legal arguments are thorough yet succinct. He anticipates counter-arguments and judicial scrutiny well. Tom Balerud is well above the vast majority of his colleagues in overall competence. Mr. Balerud never fails to improve his skills. He is conscientious and willing to take difficult cases. Accordingly, he deserves a superb rating.

Mr. Balerud is not only an excellent attorney, he is an institution in Pierce County courts. I highly recommend this lawyer.
