Help to straighten out my case

Brooks Thompson helped to straighten out a guardian case in which I used a lawyer previously who did not present important documents, did not study the facts of the case correctly, was dishonest and overcharged me. I found Brooks Thompson when most lawyers felt the case had gone on over a year an...d was too complicated to take on. Brooks decided it was worthwhile to accept the case. Mr. Thompson studied the facts, presented correct documents, and defended my reputation and the truth. He knows how to think outside the box and can write and speak very well concerning what needs to be presented correctly. I would recommend him if you need a lawyer who can do a difficult job and not be deterred.

Great personality and amazing lawyer

From my experience working with Brooks on my legal case. He was extremely trustworthy, knowledgeable and great communicator, which made me and my partner win our case. Brooks did a lot for our landlord and tenant case from the beginning to the end. I recommend people to go to him for peace of mind an...d good outcome.

Honest and trustworthy. If you need a criminal attorney call Brooks Thompson!

My boyfriend/ sons father had been incarcerated nearly two years awaiting trial for attempted murder amongst other charges. PD's were doing nothing for us and every private lawyer was either completly out of our price range, or ripped us off. Mr. Thomas worked with us and gave us a very reasonable p...rice. He took the time to answer my frantic phone calls every night and calmly answer my questions. He put his heart and soul into our case. This afternoon my boyfriend was found not guilty on all counts. He comes home tomorrow after missing out on my entire pregnancy, birth of our son, and his first year of life. Words cannot express what you have done for us. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

"I strongly endorse Attorney Thompson. I have known him for almost five years, and what separates him from many of his peers is his genuine concern for people. Mr. Thompson understand that every case is THE single most important case to a client. For the average criminal defendant, the judicial system can be scary and confusing. His compassion, understanding, and ability to communicate, coupled with his knowledge of the law and courtroom procedure make him an outstanding lawyer. He will always zealously represent his clients, protect their rights, and ensure that those accused of a crime understand what is happening to them throughout the entire process."

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.
