This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Focus and Preparation

I contacted Mr. Rand less than a week before my scheduled hearing date. His fee for the initial consultation was very reasonable and overall his charges are reasonable. During the consultation we were able to figure the focus of my case which was a great help among all the issues I wanted to include.... I decided to present my case myself and Mr. Rand spent 4 hours with me on a rainy SUNDAY afternoon to help me prepare. Tom knows many different areas of law- my complaint was against a condo association- his preparation helped me overcome the opposition which had TWO high priced lawyers presenting their case. I would (and WILL) work with Tom in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking to hire a knowledgeable attorney with solid credentials.

Custody and Divorce Proceedings

After going through three previous attorneys, Mr. Rand was referred to my unique and difficult custody case. The intricacies and nuance required to effectively present and adjudicate this case was near perfect from the start - for the most part it required time and an earnest interest on Mr.Rands par...t and that's precisely what I received in the end. Highly reccomend!!!

Excellent

If you are lucky enough to have Tom Rand represent you, know that you have the best! Tom represented our company in a major lawsuit and absolutely hammered the opposition. Tom does not miss anything and is EXTREMELY smart. Tom is exceptional in his attention to detail and will work tirelessly to ensu...re he explores every possible angle in your case, giving you the best opportunity to be victorious in your case. We consider ourselves very lucky to have him on our side and would (and frequently do) refer him without a second thought!

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.
