Thomas A. Kokonowski

I called Tom on a Saturday morning (he actually answered and talked to me for 30 minutes before I even hired him). I was frantically looking for a criminal defense attorney to guide me in the right direction. I had no experience with the court system and desperately needed guidance to protect my prof...essional license. I hit the jackpot when I found him. Tom is professional, confident, down to earth, trustworthy and very easy to talk to. I always felt he had my best interests in mind. He explained the processes in detail, answered all questions, and allowed me to make informed decisions. In the end, Tom helped me get the best outcome possible and I am very grateful. Even though Tom is a fabulous attorney, his best assets are being a kind, decent, caring human being. I genuinely feel like he isn’t in it for the money. I hope to never need a defense attorney again, but if I did, it would be a no brainer. I wouldn’t think of hiring anyone else! A+++

We hired Attorney Kokonowski to represent our son for an OUI charge. Living out of state added to the stress of having many questions and concerns, however, Tom was very responsive, knowledgeable and compassionate. He thoroughly explained all of our options and found the best one for our situati...on. Before the hearing, Tom prepared our son by explaining what to expect from the Judge. He also worked with the prosecuting attorney to confirm acceptance of our plea, and the Judge to assure we received the best result from a bad situation. We would highly recommend Attorney Kokonowski if you are in need of legal representation.

Attorney Kokonowski is a well-versed criminal defense lawyer with extraordinary character. He made it extremely easy for me to focus on schoolwork and applying for jobs while he handled the casework, yet he made sure it was abundantly clear to me where the case was headed and the options I had to ch...oose from. Attorney Kokonowski is the reason my case went exactly the way I had wished and I would absolutely urge anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney to hire him.

Thomas Kokonowski saved me from a great deal of angst by getting two serious charges dropped due to insufficient evidence. He gently but incisively shredded the police report's presentation of a traffic stop. The judge sided with him and found insufficient evidence for all but a low level moving vio...lation. I would highly recommend him if you need any type of criminal defense. He handled my case with a clear grasp of the facts and a measure of grace which I think impressed the judge. I certainly am grateful I hired him to defend me.

From the very first phone call I made to Attorney Kokonowski I knew he was the right choice. He helped me rationalize the situation and gave me advice on handling the immediate circumstances before I even met with him the following day. When we did meet, he took the time to collect every detail of ...the case and made sure I understood each step of the process and the choices that were available. My case contained many grey areas that don't come up often and Kokonowski took his time delving into the legal literature to look at every potential piece of info out there. If you need someone who will think outside the box and really put the work in, Tom is the first person you should call. Not only that-- Kokonowski has had experience as a prosecutor before becoming a criminal defense attorney so he knows how every aspect of the justice system works and all of the players involved. Definitely a force to be reckoned with and everyone in the court room knew it! Ultimately he was able to work out the best case scenario for my case and because of him a stupid mistake isn't going to haunt me later in life. I could not have asked for better defense. There were many points along the way that I realized just how much he does for each of his clients, and I'm not only grateful for our legal outcome but for all of the genuine life advice as well. Look no further.
