On a personal note:
I enjoy my work because I thrive on helping businesses operate, creators create, and individuals live. With every client and case, I encounter new people from all walks of life. It's true that dispute resolution can be tough. But, the promises of removing uncertainty and bringing stability are well worth it.
The only problems I can't resolve come from my dog, Benny. His litigation strategy is to tantrum until he gets what he wants. I'm sad to say that, to date, he's prevailed in every case. I'm currently working on getting more couch space. Negotiations continue....

Look no further - Tom is the one you are looking for!
Thomas handled my landlord/crazy tenant case for an entire year! He is professional, knowledgeable, and always in control.

Simply the best
Tom is an intelligent, articulate and capable attorney. He stopped an 11th hour court eviction from an unscrupulous landlord that resulted in a fair and equitable ending for me. He was able to reference an obscure out of state case that had a direct positive impact on our own case and allowed us...

Haven't heard from him at all.
I hired Mr. Major to handle an eviction process, but so far I have not heard anything from him other than knowing he processed the court papers.

Hire Tom. He is the best!
I have a very bad tenant to deal with. I should have listened to Tom by starting the case earlier. First of all, Tom is very patient to listen to the details of my case and promptly filed the case after we started. Although there are some occasions that are hard to follow up with him, yet bear in min...
