Outstanding Lawyer

Outstanding Family Law Attorney – Highly Recommend! I can't say enough about the incredible service my sister received from Thomas Stahl. Navigating the complexities of family law can be overwhelming, but from the very first consultation, Thomas Stahl demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and... genuine compassion. My sister was going through a particularly difficult time, Thomas Stahl provided her with not only excellent advice but also emotional support every step of the way. Thomas Stahl was always available to answer questions, explain the legal process in clear terms, and offer thoughtful guidance. His strategic approach and attention to detail was impressive, ensuring that my sister's rights were protected and that the best possible outcome was achieved. Thanks to his hard work and dedication, my sister felt empowered and confident throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a family law attorney who truly cares about their clients and goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend Thomas Stahl. He made a difficult time so much easier for our family, and we are incredibly grateful for everything he did. Five stars!

Tom really helped us

Getting guardianship of my mom was necessary and Tom was really good in this. Now I can focus on caring for my mom fully.

Tom helped me

Going through my divorce was really difficult. But Tom and his team really helped me through even though my ex was such an a-hole. I’m glad it’s all over and Tom got me what I deserved.

He helped me

Thomas Stahl and his associates are very kind, patient and good in what they do. Tom was my attorney and from my very first meeting I could tell he would be great for me. He helped me understand the law and various strategies for my divorce so I get my fair share of our assets. Of course more importa...ntly I got the custody of my kids. I highly recommend Tom and his firm.

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.
