Completely Satisfied

Due to an unfortunate incident my wife was charged with 2 misdemeanors, domestic assault and disorderly conduct. After her arraignment we were told we did not qualify for a public defender, so we asked for a referral. We were given Thomas Thomasian's phone number. All of this was very, very unsettlin...g for us. We were both a nervous wreck over this and did not know what to do. After calling his office and leaving our info with his secretary, he called us back in 5 minutes. He set up an appointment with him at his office 90 minutes later. That was unbelievable service! After meeting with him we felt so much more at ease. He told us not to worry and that through his contacts he saw no reason why this case couldn't be dismissed. He called the night before her court date and said to relax and everything would be fine. Well he was right. it was dismissed in seconds and we were on our way home by 9:30 AM. If you need a defense lawyer I would highly recommend Attorney Tom Thomasian.

Thanks so much!

When you are in a silently escalating DV situation and you become the wrongly accused perpetrator after going almost 40 years of your life never once being in trouble - or even nearly thought of as someone who could be capable of being a criminal - you just want to close the doors on the painful expe...rience and never look back. I called lots of attorneys in the Providence area before I called Tom. It took me less than 3 minutes on the phone with him to know he was the guy I needed to work with. I could not nearly afford this in any way - and my money needed to be used wisely. He was the only attorney who, after patiently hearing my entire situation, said "it's going to be okay, I am going to help you." And he did; with a lot of respect from the prosecution and really a fair amount of supportive communication that reminded me none of what happened was necessarily fair (and was now over for good with a simple dismissal) nor should, could or would it be a reflection of who I really am. Don't second guess or keep looking for someone else to help you, if you are here reading this just make the call and feel good about someone working with you who will do a great job at it.

Worth every penny

When I was charged with a domestic I knew i was going to need a lawyer. I visited three different lawyers before I sat down with Tom. Tom was the only one who said that he wanted to help me. He made me feel as though he could conquer my case and he wanted to see me get through it. I walked out of his... office with confidence. Thanks to Tom i was able to get my no-contact order dropped before the trial and got back to my life sooner than expected and get my charges dropped. Tom is an excellent Lawyer who was always there to answer my stupid questions on the phone to calm my nerves. I definitely picked the right lawyer and I would recommend him to anybody!

Empathetic Lawyer-Excellent Representation

Tom Thomasian was representing me in court on the charge for Domestic Violence. Tom put me at ease from the moment we first spoke on the phone. He clearly explained my legal rights and addressed my concerns. He was an empathetic listener and I appreciated that very much being under so much stress. ... I was able to stick to my normal work routine in between the court dates because I knew Tom had my back and indeed he proved to be reliable. He was punctual, I felt very confident in his abilities to represent me in the courtroom. My case was dismissed and Tom had filed for expungement of the records. The motion was granted shortly after. I highly recommend him without any reservations. I will be using Tom's legal help in the future and will recommend him to my friends and family.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I had the pleasure of being on the opposite side of the bar from Attorney Thomasian while I was a Rule 9 intern at the Attorney General's office on several occasions. Attorney Thomasian was a consummate professional and it showed in the way he treated his clients, the Judges, and those of us on the opposite side."

"It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I am writing to endorse Tom Thomasian. I have been dealing with lawyers for 20 years and not very often do I find a lawyer with the talents of Mr. Thomasian. He fights hard for his clients, he has the respect of the Judges and is feared by the prosecutors. I hope my perspective will be helpful to you as you evaluate this exceptional lawyer and member of the bar."
