Honest and Personable Lawyer

Thomas Splain did an excellent job and won my case. I would recommend him 100 percent. He spoke to me about the chances and circumstances of the case in a personable respectful way with complete honesty and integrity. I would hire him again if needed and will refer him to friends and family. He w...orked very hard to get my win. I'm happy with my entire experience.

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 throu...gh 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.

Forever Grateful

I was referred to Tom by a highly regarded colleague of mine. I was in a difficult situation and was struggling to find someone to represent me that didn’t have a conflict of interest in the case. He was able to meet with me immediately and I retained his services during the initial appointment. T...here is not enough I can say about Tom. He was there for me every step of the way, going above and beyond throughout the process. I was able to reach him anytime day and night and felt he had a genuine interest in me and my family. Tom was upfront and honest and always gave me all possible outcomes to best prepare me for what may happen. He was organized, well respected by his colleagues, understanding and firm. With Tom’s guidance, I avoided a lengthy sentence. After my case was complete, Tom not only helped me with one but two additional legal issues that stemmed from the outcome of my original case. There were no additional charges, I am fairly certain he barely broke even with me, and both cases also ended with positive results. Tom believed in me and I am forever grateful for his help. I would highly recommend Tom Splain. There is no one else out there like him and I am blessed that he was able to represent me.

Best of the best

I've hired dozens of attorneys for business and personal matters. By far, Tom is the best attorney I've ever hired. Detail oriented, respected by the legal community, caring and results oriented are how I'd describe him. Call him first.

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."
