Tom sold me on his initial phone call. He doesn't waste time and divulges what he expects. He knows the law and tells you how it is. He helped me tremendously and I would recommend him to anyone seeking representation.
"I have known Tom going back many years to when he was a prosecutor in the AG's office. A tough litigator, he has carried that experience into criminal defense. I have referred several clients to him because I know they will get good, solid advice and representation. Tom is a great asset to our legal community."
