This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

I recommend.

Thomas is the best law attorney I have ever worked with. I really felt safe with his work. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. If you are looking for a knowledgeable attor...ney at a great price, then go to Thomas.

Five Stars - Selfless and someone wants to help people

Just Awesome!!! I had an issue with my license as it wasn't going through the registration process and I thought, it is suspended and got nervous as anyone would. After looking up few numbers and reaching through Lawyers.com, was able to connect with Mr.Verrastro who initiated the call and even aft...er I missed his call, he picked up my call and listened to the issue with extreme patience. After listening to the problem and current situation, Mr. Verrastro took few seconds to figure out the potential problem and advised me to go to DMV and speak to them. Honestly, I wasn't expecting such a busy person allocating this much time and propose a solution as well. Five Stars ***** and a huge recommendation for anyone who needs help with legal matters. Once again, thank you Mr. Verrastro. Regards, Asad S. Hussain

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

The text book definition of what being a counsler should be.

A level of honesty, professionalism, work ethic and integrity that I am not use to. I am extremely happy to have crossed paths with him and consider myself lucky to have him as counsel.

Business Separation Agreement

Thomas was recommended by a friend when my partner and I needed a lawyer to write our separation agreement from a third partner who was retiring. As things turned out, it wasn't just a matter of executing paperwork. There were major differences of opinion regarding the retiring partners value and con...tribution. Two conversations later, Thomas quickly realized the potential for counter productive conflict and adjusted our strategy, remaining calm and patient while steadfast in his approach. Even after eight reline changes and unprofessional conduct by opposing counsel. Thomas' knowledge of the law was his price of admission, but what set him apart was knowing how to be a true advocate, someone looking out for my rights as well as protecting me from myself. In the end, the deal got done and both sides retreated to their respective lives no worse for the wear. If you need a calming, knowledgeable and steadying hand on your side, I highly recommend Thomas' services.

Tive o previlegio de tê-lo como o meu advogado de defesa.

Tom me representou em um caso difícil municipal. Estou tão feliz que eu encontrei ele. Ele foi muito profissional e minuciosa e gostaria de recomendá-lo a outras pessoas na minha comunidade.
