Excellent Job

Tom Smith was both trustworthy and successful for me. He handled the case for me from begining to end. Every person at the firm was helpful and knowledgeable. Tom held our hand throughout the entire case and answered our questions quickly and in a way we could understand. Job well done.

Incompetent and Untrustworthy

I hired Mr. Smith to handle a personal injury claim. He did little preparation for an important hearing for the case. The case suffered a serious setback as a result of his poor preparation. After suffering a humiliating defeat at the hearing, he unilaterally chose to withdraw the case from the court... without client permission. A complaint with the PA Supreme Court Disciplinary Board was filed against him for improper conduct and the poor counsel I received from him. I would not recommend attorney Thomas Gordon Smith for any reason. He is the worst attorney I have ever used.

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.
