Excellent lawyer!

Excellent lawyer! Mr. Sills calls you personally the same day! He is very professional and very knowledgeable! He will tell you about the process and tells you the possible out comes! You are always kept up to date as to what is going on with your case. He helped me out of an extremely stressful situ...ation and got my case dropped. I definitely would call him again if I needed a lawyer in the future as well as recommend him to a friend who needed a Laywer!

Money well spent!

I was arrested for DUI. The following morning I called a friend that recommended Mr. Sills who had helped him out in some traffic citations. Taking his advice I called the Law Office of Mr. Sills, he answered his phone directly. I being very concerned about the charges against me Was a nervous wreck.... Mr Sills calmly explained to me what I was to expect and gave me a time and date we could meet at his office. My wife and I attended the meeting, we left feeling relieved and much more sure footed in the future road we would have to endure. The majority of the stress in a situation like this is the not knowing what the future holds from punishment to even knowing what to expect in a courtroom. The entire process would be unbearable without the guidance of seasoned professional such as Mr. Sills. His calmness and certainty in a family’s time of chaos and confusion was greatly appreciated. The best result from my case that we hoped for was achieved, and my wife and I left the courtroom with my charges being dismissed. My record will remain clean and I can continue to provide for my family thanks to the mild mannered Mr. Sills. Rarely in life do you get a chance to give a positive review about a experience. This one was my pleasure. Thanks again Law Offices of Tomeo Sills.

He truly helped me

I contacted Tomeo Sills based on an Internet search for DUI related law firms, in order to appeal false violations on an Ignition Interlock Device. My experiences up to the point of contacting this firm were not good. In most cases I would make multiple calls, which were not returned, and the answers... I received when I DID get a response, did not inspire confidence. Basically, nobody seemed to know how these types of cases worked. From my first call to Tomeo Sills, it was apparent to me that I had found the right firm. Attorney Jonathan Sills returned my call very promptly, listened to my saga and explained to me exactly what the process would be and the likely outcome or possible alternate scenarios. Attorney Sills and all of the staff at Tomeo Sills were polite, professional and competent at all times; emails and phone calls were returned quickly and he was able to help me achieve the desired result. I would recommend this firm and Attorney Jonathan Sills to anyone I know. Thanks again to Attorney Sills and the fine folks at Tomeo Sills. Sincerely, Nicholas

J. Sills Was Not the Right Hire for Us

We hired J. Sills after reading reviews on Google and after he initially made us feel comfortable over the phone. After a few months he disengaged, didn’t seem to have a plan, was not readily accessible and a man of few words. He kept us in the dark. So, we terminated the agreement, hired and paid an...other lawyer. Steve

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.
