Chapter 7 Case

This man helped save my career

Mr. Tomlins is a highly professional and dedicated lawyer. His astute council led to the facilitation of both of my misdemeanor charges being reduced to a single violation and a fine, which given the circumstances that I was in, was the most ideal outcome I could hope for; no permanent record, no jail time, no community service, 1 and done... and he made it happen. Being convicted of a misdemeanor would have reeked havoc on my life, my family and my career. Thank you again for fighting so diligently for me Mr. Tomlins, and as you said, sometimes good people make stupid decisions..

Great lawyer

I have used Mr. Tomlins to close on a property and personal injury. He is very professional and a great lawyer. I have recommended him to close friends. We had an issue with the sale of a property and his experience and advice was perfect.

Ronald Tomlins very knowledgeable

I was referred to Ronald from my mother in-law. His fees were exactly what I was quoted at the beginning of my mortgage process. Very knowledgeable of what was needed and what had to be done for my purchase. I am recommending him to others.

Highly recommended Real Estate Attorney

As first time homeowners it was essential to have someone to explain the complicated process of buying a home. Ronald was not only available with any questions that we had before closing but also at our closing. He explained the legal rhetoric in detail, and simplified it for us so we understood all the information at hand. Ronald was also so patient with us when we had questions regarding documents or legal terms that were brought up. We felt more apart of the discussion than being the discussion. Ronald was not only professional but personable and that made our experience during closing easy and stress-free. Furthermore, Ron was available via email or phone at all hours of the day. We highly recommend Ronald to all new homeowners. Thank you so much for making our first time home buying experience a breeze.

Highly Recommended Attorney

Ron Tomlins was our attorney when we sold our townhouse and also when we purchased our new home. The purchase was a short sale, and he was very patient and helpful with the long process. We always felt Ron was looking out for our interests. He answered our emails and calls promptly. Ron is easy to talk to and took his time explaining the legal process every step of the way. If the need arises, we will definitely use his services again.

Real estate (house purchase)

Ron was very prompt in drafting and processing all of our home purchasing documents. He provided sound advice when issues with our inspection arose and he accommodate our tight schedule, which allowed us to close just in time for Christmas. I highly recommend Ron.

Excellent Attorney

Ron has been my attorney for the past 18 years. He was my attorney when I bought my first house, refinanced it, through my divorce and child custody agreements, and through family court as well as a pre-nuptial agreement for my second marriage. Ron was always level headed, got back to me ASAP, helped me understand all of the laws regarding divorce, custody, and child support and helped me stay rational through it all. Ron doesn't try to draw things out or drag things on. He has a great deal of experience and knows most of the key players in court as well as other attorneys. Ron even communicates with me on weekends and evenings via email, which is going above and beyond. Ron is professional, rational, and reasonable and isn't afraid to say the things that need to be said. I feel very first ate to have him on my side.

Unscrupulous billing practices

Watch out for this guy’s billing practices. The retainer agreement that he had me sign says he bills in 6-minute increments, but he doesn’t honor that. He inflated the time he worked on my case and up-charged every interaction to 15 minutes. He charged me 15 minutes for every single email that I sent and every single response that he sent back, even if the emails contained one sentence. When I asked him to reconsider and charge me for the actual time he spent on my case, he flatly refused. When I asked him why he charged in 15 minute increments instead of 6 he said it was “standard practice”. I checked with other lawyers who said he should be honoring his retainer agreement. They also said most of the emails that he charged me for would never even show up on their invoices. These billing practices are misleading and dishonest. BEWARE!! And don’t send emails unless you absolutely have to.
