Highly Recommend

We have been working with Tom for almost 6 years. He has provided valuable advice on many business matters from standard product agreements through large scale multi-faceted custom material and service agreements. He has guided our companies though the LLC process and has advised us on our corporat...e structure. Tom has always been very responsive and honest with us over the years. We would highly recommend Tom to any of our family, friends or business associates.

You're in Good Hands with Tom Michael Jr.

Tom was referred to me by a prestigious law firm in Pittsburgh as a reliable and knowledgeable business attorney who could resolve a sticky situation I was facing. Through Tom's expert handling of the problematic situation things were quickly resolved and I've continued to retain him for all my busi...ness needs. Tom cares about his clients, is fair minded, and you can count on him to always act in ethical ways. He is entrepreneurially minded and understands what business owners need and want. Tom has provided me with sound business advice, thorough contracts and contract reviews and has connected me with key people. Additionally he has become a trusted friend. I would highly recommend Tom Michael Jr for small business and start up needs.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
