From the moment of my first consultation with Tom, he gave me confidence in his ability to help me through a challenging set of circumstances. He was patient, informative, and confident, and his calm demeanor helped me to navigate the journey with ease. Tom is responsive and caring, and he is able to separate emotion from task. His legal expertise coupled with his humanity helped make a difficult set of circumstances far more manageable. He truly is the best!
Attorney Clark represented me as plaintiff in a PFA case regarding my former spouse. Mr. Clark managed my case proficiently through multiple continuances and communicated in a timely fashion. During the hearing, he was very professional yet aggressive and had done his homework with regard to cases and decisions made elsewhere that applied to my case. I was granted the PFA; if I wasn't, it would not have been because of my representation. I am grateful to Mr. Clark for his hard work and attention to detail.

Happy Dad
Tom has been a wonderful attorney! He is always very helpful and responsive to my questions and concerns. He has provided wonderful counsel from the very beginning. The two things that I appreciate the most about Tom is his passion for fighting for what is truly best for children in divorce and the amount of preparation that Tom puts into your case. I was impressed by how prepared Tom came to each meeting on my behalf and how amazing he did at my custody hearing. I have total confidence in his ability to represent me going forward. I also really appreciate that Tom takes the time to make sure that my questions and concerns are addressed. A+ attorney! He helped me to get my children out of a very bad situation.

Efficient Prenup Process!
Was introduced to Thomas through another attorney at the firm who helped out our family previously with estate planning...and I'm so grateful with how it worked out! Needed assistance with reviewing and finalizing details of a prenuptial agreement. Despite a quick turnaround time needed (around 4 weeks), the entire process was stress-free and incredibly efficient. Thomas was very responsive, straight to the point, and he easily coordinated with my partner's attorney; the other attorney made a comment to us saying how nice it was to work with Thomas. Truly felt like my best interests were at the forefront throughout the redlining process, and as a result we now have an executed agreement that I feel 100% comfortable with. Absolutely would recommend working with Thomas. I plan to utilize Tucker Arensberg PC for any future legal matters that should arise. Thanks again for all of the help, Thomas!

Recommendation
From the beginning Attorney Clark only had my very best interest at heart! He was very thorough in explaining how the process would work. If he felt that I was being too lenient at my detriment, he would freely tell me why I should change that thought process. He was solely focused on me receiving the best interest in this process. I would highly recommend Attorney Clark for any legal process that you would need.

Honest, Trustworthy, Candid, and Gets Results!
Tom has been my attorney for years in an extremely complex divorce case, and also continues to represent me for custody issues which arise from time to time. I trust him completely with my situation as he is a knowledgeable and driven attorney who was able to help my children and I to lead safer, better lives because of his zealous advocacy. From the moment I started searching for a family attorney 10 years ago, I performed extensive research because I knew I had to have the best. Fortunately, Tom has lived up to that expectation and then some. Additionally, he's always tried to keep down costs and has explained everything at each step along the way. He has earned every star and I would recommend Tom to anyone looking for an honest, experienced family law attorney who knows how to get results and advocate well for their clients.

Positive Experience Working with Attorney Clark
I sought the service of Thomas Clark of Colgan and Associates in Custody and Divorce proceedings. Over the course of three years, Attorney Clark was empathetic, well-researched, and always made sure that I understood what was about to take place and what the likely outcome would be. He was always very prepared for conferences and hearings and it is clear that he is a well-respected figure in the local judicial system. I recommend his services to anyone in need. I had nothing but positive experiences and cannot think of a single negative aspect to report.

Thomas is very well versed in all aspects of Family Law. What sets him above his peers is his presentation; he TALKS with you instead of just giving you his legal opinion. What a concept - a Family Law Attorney that treats you like... FAMILY!!

Divorce
After handling most of my divorce on my own, I ran into a snap after the papers were filed. I needed one last signature and couldn't get my ex-spouse to sign. Tom Clark responded to my inquiry immediately; drafted and sent the necessary letter to resolve the issue. I had the signature I needed in less than a week.

Made a difficult process as seamless as possible
Mr. Clark communicated clearly and effectively through email as well as during our phone conferences. He provided guidance on the laws, the system, and what would or would not benefit me. Mr. Clark was conscientious of my time and my financial circumstances, and always made me feel like I was supported, respected, and that I played a vital role in the process. He made a very difficult and emotional process easier and clearer. I could not be happier with the experience I had with him as my attorney.

Professional and extremely ‘fierce’
My ex husband filed an ex parte motion (in bad faith) for emergency custody of our son; I needed a fighter to have this overturned!!! Tom worked endlessly to ensure this would happen; never discussing an outcome- only making sure I was prepared- he was fierce in the fight.... we made it happen. He had the order overturned and I regained custody of my son! He’s an amazing attorney and I would never refer family or friends to anyone else!!!
