Crook

He is a crook he was hired to represent my brother.. Starting fee was $10,000 and he did nothing but act more like an enemy. He called me and said he cut a deal with the DA 5 to 10 yrs. Then a week later he has my brother sign fir an open plea… What lawyer will do they then I paid $2000 for my broth...er to see a psychiatrist at Thomas Joachim’s request the psychiatrist gave a really good positive review.. Thomas Joachim called the psychiatrist and told him not to show up to court.. Hmmm WHY?? My brother got sentenced 20 yrs.. And he allowed the lies I couldn’t believe it.. I took him to court and of course got played.. Thomas Joachim is the dirt on the ground he is the gum underneath a a muddy shoe..

Best Attorney!

If you need a lawyer, Thomas Joachim was AMAZING. It was really such a relief knowing I had him in my corner. Life was looking pretty bleak with what I was up against, but with Mr Joachim's dedication, time, and help my life was literally saved. He did an amazing job representing me and I would recom...mend him to ANYONE.

Amazing attorney

I had two criminal cases and I thought I was going to jail. On my DUI case, Mr. Joachim was extremely thorough and really dug in to the police officer at the preliminary hearing. That exposed inconsistencies in his story Mr. Joachim was then able to research the issues and convince the Judge that ...the officer was not credible and got the stop suppressed. I stayed out of jail do to his efforts and dedication. On my other matter, he was able to talk to the police officer and negotiate my misdemeanor charges down to a summary offense. Whether you need him to stand up and fight or calmly negotiate, he's the best.

Best attorney!

I hired Tom for a criminal matter. Other attorney's told me that weren't able to do a lot for me, but were going to take a ton of money and pray for the best at trial. Tom was able to take the time to talk to the police officers, the district attorney and the judge and took a case where I thought I ...was going to jail for a long time and worked it out to probation. He also spent a lot of time with me, trying to get to know me as a person and help out with some issues I've been dealing with. I was not just a number and it was definitely not about the money. He cares about people.
