I am a client of Thomas Bezanson. He has taken my case all the way to the Court Of Appeals. He has been successful at each level and is still activiely seeking post-judgement relief. He does and excellent job or keeping me and my co-plaintiffs informed as to the progress of the matter. He is alwa...ys readily available to meet with us and fully answer our questions.

Satisfied Customer

Tom, in the time that he represented me, was a part of two different offices, and had to help coordinate appellate and trial level representation with two offices and staff other than his own. This representation was on a pro bono basis, and notwithstanding that, I felt like his best paying client

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.
