DUI Defense

Mr. Thomas represented me on my 3rd DUI offense. He is located in the Frick Building at Stewart Murray. Apparently, he worked at some firm called Dickie prior? I thought for sure that I was going to serve time in jail. He was able to keep me out of jail and have the court costs waived. He has al...so called me after the hearing was finalized just to check up on me. I highly recommend his work and professionalism. (And he is a handsome guy as well if that matters. :) )

Great Young Attorney is going to make a name for himself in Pittsburgh

Mr. Thomas represented me initially on a DUI charge which he had dismissed. He apparently knew everyone at the Courthouse. I'm not sure if that influenced the outcome of my case but it certainly couldnt have hurt. He then took care of a Landlord issue that I had and resolved everything within a we...ek.

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.
