Excellent Lawyer

Contacted Mr Will who met with me and explained how the process works, explained how any bills related to the accident will be covered. Tom handled everything from day one until the settlement. He was clear, precise and compassionate about what I was going through. Tom and his staff kept me informed ...about everything. Mr Will definitely knows his stuff.

Phenomenal Attorney

When hiring an attorney, you should consider not only their ability to navigate the legal system, but also their professional reputation and whom they know. Tom Will is widely respected by members of the bench and bar in Pittsburgh. His strategy is strikingly refreshing for a lawyer— he is amiable an...d genuine with everyone, but still advocates vigorously for his clients. My case in particular required delicate negotiations with the DA's office, and Mr. Will was able to explain my position and get the absolute best possible result. I am a fairly anxious person, but shortly into the process I actually felt most comfortable leaving the matter in Mr. Will's hands. I did not feel the need to Google the law because he explained everything so well. He is responsive when you need to contact him, and he spends the time making sure that you understand the process. I see other reviews that say that Mr. Will thoroughly explains his strategy and whether he thinks he can get the intended result, and I wholeheartedly agree. Within minutes of meeting him in person, he explained his plans and told me that he thought my odds were good. He was actually proactive and already prepared little steps in case I approved his plan. From that point on, I knew I was in good hands— great hands. I asked a few questions about the future and how to wrap up little aspects of my case. He knows the system so well that he actually told me what time of month I should go to the courthouse to schedule various matters, so that they would line up with everything else going on. I do not have social media and I almost never leave reviews online, but I specifically wanted to take the time to tell other people: Tom Will is easily one of the best attorneys in Pittsburgh, and likely the best criminal attorney. I can't thank him enough for everything.

All of these people have been very pleased with Tom's representation and the results which he has obtained on their behalf. Tom is very knowledgeable, smart, and can think on his feet. He is well-respected in the legal community. He is also very ethical.
