Tom is absolutely amazing!!!!

I had court today with tom for the 3rd time for a criminal case. He walked over to the judge handed him a green sheet for dismissal and the judge said he couldn't dismiss it with restitution so tom and the DA were both like um ya you can just do it and the judge just said Um ok case dismissed. I have... been involved in the court system for quite some time and I've never seen that. I will def never use another lawyer. His prices are not bad and now that I've seen him work they are completely worth it! Thank you so much Tom! I shall remain free because of you.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
