Reliable and Responsible Legal Assistance

I was charged with a DUI and I never had any previous encounters with the legal system. Frankly I was scared and thought I really screwed up my future. As a business profession my reputation was at risk. Some how I got connected to Christopher P. Thomas and since the initial phone conversation, he... kept me informed of everything to expect and prepare for in addressing my DUI. He helped me through the process and I am grateful that I had him as my attorney. Any questions I had he would answer, He always returned my phone calls and I never really had to wait for any information. Do to my previous unblemished record Christopher was able to have me case placed into the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program, which is available for first-time DUI arrests in Pennsylvania. Being accepted into ARD and following through with all of the requirements will have the DUI expunged from your record and the charges dismissed, thus you will have a clean criminal record. All of this happened for me because of the excellent legal representation and advice from Christopher P. Thomas.

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.
