Thomas Matthew Splain

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!

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!

I needed a lawyer to represent me, arrested for DWI. I contacted our Estate Lawyer for a recommendation. He recommended Tom Splain. I contacted an x-judge friend and he highly recommended Tom. Tom is exactly the person I hoped for. He's client focused and provided the direction and comfort n...eeded in this difficult situation.

Due to an unfortunate set of circumstances, my life changed quickly and forever, and I needed legal representation. Deciding on how to choose a lawyer was overwhelming and intimidating. I did not know where to go, or who to pick. The factors I considered when choosing an attorney were simple. I wante...d a lawyer... 1. Who knew EVERY aspect of the law that concerned my case, and had endless experience representing others in the same situation as myself… 2. Who could effectively and confidently communicate ALL of my options, AND communicate regularly when needed throughout the process... 3. Who worked just as hard behind the scenes as they do in the courtroom, especially when it came to things rescheduling court dates, getting information they need, and gathering ALL of the facts of my case... 4. Who was compatible to work with, and could work with me in a professional manner, without passing judgement, or making assumptions about any aspect of my case… 5. Who always kept MY best interests in mind. Someone who wouldn’t plea my case early or prematurely just so they couldn’t collect a check… 6. Who if needed, goes beyond their general responsibilities, especially if additional support is needed with my employer, or other aspects of my life that would be affected by my case... 7. Who's highly regarded by their peers, and their past success and trial experiences show when interacting with other litigators, prosecutors, judges and others in the courtroom... 8. Who’s fees were reasonable, and could provide enough value to justify the costs of hiring a lawyer… Originally, I was hoping that I could find a lawyer that provide half of the factors I considered… Thankfully Tom Splain provided ALL of those factors… Tom exceeded all of my expectations, and has become not just an attorney I used once a long time ago, he’s someone I now have as a valuable resource for the rest of my life. In the end, the decision is simple. If you want a lawyer with an easy to remember phone number because of their endless commercials and annoying jingles, you don’t need to read my review to decide. If you are genuinely looking for the BEST legal representation you can find, there’s no decision to make… Work with Tom. Trust me, his help and ability to litigate on my behalf could not been better, nor duplicated by anyone else.
