Outstanding

When my mom was injured in an automobile accident last year, Tom's expertise was invaluable. During this extremely stressful time, Tom helped tremendously. He came to visit with my mom while she was in a rehab facility to learn the specifics of her case. He dealt directly with law enforcement, insur...ance companies, and health care facilities as an advocate for my mom and her care. He was kind, compassionate, and always accessible whenever a question or concern arose. Tom settled my mom's case in less than a year. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and professional throughout the entire process.

How to prove that NOBODY saves money with GEICO... ever, even over more than 48+ months... forget 15 minutes!

Mr. Shebell helped to blunt the discomfort of being swept off a motorcycle by an indifferent young woman; helped to navigate the troubled waters of insurance-dependent medical care and claims, rehabilitation and anxiety; and, most critically, provided ample and reassuring advice and counsel when it c...ame to dealing with GEICO's maneuvers, manipulations and posturing (including the hiring of a non-NJ-licensed private investigator as a means to disrupt properly established data). He was always professional, patient and accommodating. Effectively, he was able to render an intolerable circumstance much less so, and along the way earned much merited respect and admiration. Thank you.

If you need a lawyer Thomas F Shebell III is the only name you need to know

In 2009 I was involved in a car accident that flipped my world upside down. I was 20 years old suffering from constant back pain and struggling with the emotional rollercoaster that followed. I was young and unsure about where to go for representation until a family member referred me to Tom. I am ...lucky I took their advice. Tom kept me informed about everything that was going on in a timely fashion and included me in every decision making process. Tom is a compassionate, knowledgeable, respectful and professional attorney. He treated me like a human being instead of a paycheck and sincerely cared about how I was doing. He was available to me off hours and responded to my every call, email, and even text within minutes. Tom has represented me in a personal injury and a medical malpractice case and in both situations he made me feel as if I was his most important client. Tom also has a wonderful team working for him. Everyone is personable and understanding. Every interaction with his staff was a pleasant one and I never felt like I was a bother to them. I highly recommend Tom!!

One of the Best

When six other lawyers refused to take my case for a botched ear surgery that left me deaf claiming malpractices cases are too difficult and take too much time, Tom Shebell took me as a client. Once he took my case, Tom spent endless hours learning all the medical and biological aspects about the ea...r. Tom ended up knowing more about the ear than I did after teaching biology for 20+ years. During the entire case, Tom kept me personally informed about the process. He always responded to any questions I had. Tom always returned calls within 1 day which is very unusal for most lawyers. Tom developed a solid case backed up by a large amount of researched evidence which was used wisely during depositions. Malpractice suits involving doctors are very difficult to process and win, yet tom was able to gain a large settlement for me. I would highly recommend Tom for anyone who needs a top-notch lawyer who does his homework and is highly skilled in his profession.

Fantastic

Thomas Shebell was an A M A Z I N G attorney for our personal injury case. He made himself available to all our questions and concerns during the whole process. We were very nervous about it all and he set our fears to rest. You instantly believe in him after your first meeting. He was seriou...s yet empathetic, had superb legal knowledge, and great judgement. His staff is also top notch. Words cannot describe how wonderful a lawyer we believe Thomas Shebell to be and would highly recommend him.
