Tom for the Win
When I picked up my 3rd drinking and driving offense I knew I messed up. I reached out to a few different attorneys and determined Tom was the best fit for me and I wasn't wrong. Mr. Splain knew I messed up pretty big as well, but never made me feel worse than I already felt. Tom was able to get this DWI reduced to a DWAI with all the minimum sanctions. Tom's presence in the court room is second to no one and he is clearly very well connected with the players in the judicial system in the greater Rochester area. My biggest hurdle was the DMV hearing. Tom, was able to get the refusal dismissed. Which to my understanding, is like finding a needle in a haystack!
Tom Splain is one of the premier, top notch, defense attorneys around and I highly recommend him when your backs against the wall!

Immediate response and excellent throughout
Tom Splain took our family phone call at 8pm on a Saturday during his “night out”. Although in the middle of a social event he patiently took the time to give us immediate helpful advice, calming us what steps to take. Throughout our entire experience Tom delivered expert lawyering. He has connections throughout the Geneseo and Rochester legal communities which proved valuable; resolving our case justly and timely. And Tom is sincerely compassionate, a good man. Thank you for helping us!

DWI (Durring Covid-19)
Back in October I was getting ready to move cities and picked up a DWI. I know someone that had used Mr Splain’s services in previous years so I gave him a call. What made things very difficult was me moving around so much for my job, Mr Splain was more than happy to work with my schedule and stayed up on appointments and any funds that needed to be received. To be short, the process was long (as expected) and at times as the client you feel helpless and left in the dark. I can say in full confidence that Mr Splain is the only lawyer I would go to if you get into a legal pinch involving DWI. I am no passed the trial and the result was having almost everything dropped or reduced to the minimum. My employment with my job stays current and I can continue to finish school without the worry of a DWI on my record. Thank you Mr Splain for the legal work and attentiveness to my case.

Constant Professional
Mr. Splain helped me through one of the toughest times in my life and I felt more confident with him at my side throughout the entire process. I was given his contact information through a friend and I am so glad he did! I knew that this was not the first case Tom had worked on and knew the in's and out's of what my case entailed. He was always reachable (call, text, email) and even when there were so many unknowns regarding COVID-19 restrictions, I still felt confident in all of my next steps with his guidance. If you ever find yourself in need of a lawyer, Tom should be your first call!

Mr. Thomas Splain
Thomas Splain is someone that is dependable and always is looking out for your best interest. He was timely to respond to questions and/or concerns and that was important to me. Prior to entering court, Mr. Splain provided me with all the questions that were going to be asked of me and led me through the process with ease. Once the court had determined next steps, Mr. Splain was consistently checking in on me to ensure that I didn't have any questions and was able to meet the requirements that were given by the court. He truly guided me through each and every step and made me feel confident that everything was going to be okay. I couldn't have gone through what I did without his constant affirmation and diligence. I am grateful to have had Thomas Splain on my side.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I have known Tom for over 20 years, was an adversary as a top-level prosecutor in the Monroe County District Attorneys Office and is now a colleague on the defense bar. Tom is unequivocally one of the most respected attorneys in Western NY. He works tirelessly for his clients. I have worked together with him on complex criminal litigations several times and with each, I am more impressed by his knowledge of the law, ability to decipher often confusing statutes and communicate such to his clients. There is no other attorney I could recommend more earnestly."
