Outstanding, thorough lawyer

Attorney Beauvais represented me in a construction mal-practice suit where he adroitly captured the grievances against the construction company and litigated fair compensation from them. Beauvais was the consummate professional in all of the negotiations, kept me apprised of the status of the case a...nd was a pleasure to work with.

Great Legal Help

I needed Tom to help me receive payment from a former employer for commission unpaid. No other law office would take my case because they deemed it risky without much of a payoff. However, Tom and his partner Lou were willing to at least send a demand letter. I was very impressed with their demand le...tter: it was written in such a way that it made a long, complicated situation easy to understand and completely obvious that the employer was at fault. No wonder the former employer's legal team immediately reached out to settle. However, Lou and Tom did not take the easy way out. When the legal team wanted me to sign a non-disclosure and other documents, they recommended we ask the employer to pay more for those requests. In the end, they even helped with the way I was paid and how I was going to be taxed on the payout. I received more than I was expecting, and am extremely grateful for Lou and Tom's help. Throughout the whole process they were very responsive to my emails and calls and checked up on me to ensure I had received payment. I would absolutely recommend this team.

Outstanding

We met Lou and Tom at the a Wage Theft Clinic hosted by the Attorney General’s Office. I had already consulted with several other law offices that couldn't be bothered and were totally uninterested. Right out of the gate Lou and Tom were different. They asked excellent questions and listened intently... to our responses. Throughout the entire process communication was quick and efficient. They new exactly how to manage the entire process to achieve the desired result to perfection. What is also most important to me, they care about integrity and understood it's value. They are very perceptive and I very highly recommend them.

Invaluable Professionalism

When I was in need of an attorney’s advice, Tom's expert knowledge on the issue in question and his sincere and strong interest in helping his clients was immediately evident. Tom is very personable and his direct and pragmatic approach to my specific issue proved invaluable. It felt more like I was ...asking a friend for advice than a lawyer I had just met. I will recommended Tom to many others.

Great attorney to work with

Tom along with his partner were excellent attorneys in my book. In my case, I only had to meet with them for literally 10 minutes, in which he gathered information and put a great case together. A month later, I got what I deserved. Our relationship continues, as I recommend clients to them, and i lo...ok forward to working with them again. Tom was the person who filed my case and put my evidence together. He kept up to speed and was able to almost guarantee a win. I only ever met him twice in person, but he was a very competent attorney in court.
