Born to be a Lawyer

For Tomek it all comes naturally, as if he was born to be a Lawyer. Thankfully the destiny has brought such a great professional for NY clients. Tomek has an outstanding sense of responsibility to deal with a case and manage it until the end with every effort. He is very empathetic and tireless and b...uilds up very detailed analysis with his clients. I think the most important part is that he does this job from his heart and helps people who would otherwise lack such a great representation.

Family Man with a Plan

Tomasz was a mutual friend of myself and his girlfriend. I was introduced due to a voiced situation I had with a consultancy I worked for and was fired from without pay. Tomasz took me through every step of the legal process to explain what my options were, what I should expect moving forward should ...I choose to pursue a case against my ex employer, and only agreed to charge me should we win. After back and forth emailing, calls on the phone, he successfully led a case to completion.

Simply outstanding

I had the pleasure of doing a consultation with Mr. Piotrowski and he really went above and beyond to assist me. He was very thorough in explaining what options I had available to me and what my rights where as a employee. It was a very difficult situation that i had found myself in with my previous... employer and with Mr. Piotrowskis' help, the issue was able to be resolved. He is very personable and professional which makes all the difference. I am truly grateful for all the help he has given me and would honestly give him more than five stars if I could.

Beyond excellent….

Thomas Piotrowski represented me in a very difficult case against the Department of Labor. Other attorneys that I consulted prior to retaining him were not interested in my case feeling that these type of cases were too complicated, costly and time consuming. Thankfully, someone told me about Thomas.... I was skeptical & prejudged him upon our first meeting, thinking that he is too young & possibly too inexperienced. I could not have been more wrong and frankly speaking Thomas exceeded my expectations by far. He developed a realistic, successful plan that concluded with justice in my favor. During the entire grueling & emotionally draining experience, Thomas was there for me in the way that a friend would be. It took us over two years but the outcome was very positive. I would whole heartily recommend Thomas. He is a hard working, extremely knowledgeable attorney with amazing analytical skills. I work with people on the daily bases and I can honestly say that people like Thomas are a rarity, especially in his profession. Thomas is a genuine, moral, caring human being with great values and integrity. Plus, his great sense of humor was really helpful in getting thru a stressful situation

An Amazing Attorney

Tomasz J. Piotrowski has exceeded my expectations by far. He has been always professional, courteous, responsive and very knowledgeable regardless of the question or the situation. He did an outstanding job handling my case and he is on top of every detail and always available to discuss matters at... hand. He has eased my fears and resolved all of my legal issues. I would recommend Tomasz to anyone as he is effective, efficient, practices in many specialty areas and very reasonable in pricing.
