J Thomas Spiggle

Tom Spiggle and his team provided outstanding legal services to our family in a very unexpected and challenging employment situation. When something traumatic happens at work it impacts all aspects of your life. You need to hire legal representation to guide you through a confusing and complex proces...s. Tom and firm provided us with careful, experienced, tactical advice while also giving us much needed comfort, stability and confidence. Tom and team weighed carefully the complexities of our case and spent considerable time planning and then executing next steps. They took away most of the pressure and stress which allowed us to get back on our feet while the legal process advanced. Tom became our fiercest defender and advocate. The respect he has within the legal community of being a tireless, formidable advocate for clients was a differentiator. The team performed an impressive level of legal due diligence, research, and are highly skilled in civil precedence and procedure. From the outset Tom and his team treated us with compassion, respect, kindness and professionalism. They were highly attentive and responsive no matter the day or time. And Tom was very competitive and fair with us on the legal costs for which we are grateful. The Spiggle Law Firm was the first legal firm we ever hired and there is no doubt that we made the absolute correct choice.

I came to Spiggle Law Firm during a trying and difficult situation after returning from maternity leave. I suspected my employer's actions were illegal but I needed a honest assessment of my case. I needed someone to help me who was a master in this area of law. Tom's knowledge and expertise of emplo...yment law helped me find the best way forward and negotiate a helpful severance package that made it possible to leave my organization. For me, however, Tom's humanity and compassion set him and his firm apart from any other firms I'd contacted. Hostile work situations are devastating, especially when you are leaving a new baby at home, and by the time I got to Spiggle Law Firm I was pretty spent emotionally. After my consultation with Tom, I just felt so supported and affirmed. Regardless of whether I decided to proceed with legal action, I felt like my meeting with him helped me rebuild my confidence and gave me a way forward where I could do what was best for me and my family. He is a true advocate in every sense of the word and I whole-heartly recommend him and his firm for both their employment and human expertise.

Having Tom Spiggle in my corner at a very difficult time was a great comfort and a blessing. Tom helped me to negotiate an exit package with my employer that more than tripled their initial offer. Severance was not something I had given any thought to, but when it came into play it was suddenly v...ital to know the law and also common practices for comparable organizations. I had no idea if what my employer was offering me was a generous or even a fair package, and I certainly did not know the pertinent law. Armed with that information and under Tom’s guidance I was able to enter into negotiations confidently and well-informed. I would strongly recommend The Spiggle Law Firm to anyone going through severance negotiations or any other type of workplace issues.

My negative employment situation was frustrating and scary. Before I met with Tom, I was concerned about adding fuel to the fire (making my situation worse). I was extremely nervous. Speaking with Tom, I must have rambled on for miles explaining my situation (and outlining how unsure I was about my s...ituation). I really didn't know where to start. Tom listened carefully and strategically sorted through all of the information I dumped on his ears and provided excellent guidance. I left his office calm, with a plan, and feeling much better about myself. Tom understood the emotional element involved with being in a poor employment environment, and he gave me solid tips on how to handle other workplace situations that would likely surface in the days ahead. More importantly, he didn't sugarcoat his feedback. He explained the mechanics of employment law (but with my specific situation in mind). My primary problem was I did not know what to do. Tom's tactical guidance solved that issue for me. I'm in a much better place because of it.

For the past 13 years I have known Tom for his outstanding knowledge and professionalism both in the court room and individual work with clients. I reached out to Tom for legal advice regarding my employment situation and received a response within the hour. He was able to accommodate my schedule an...d with a clear understanding of the urgency involved provided the necessary documents within 48 hours. This is the type of service you can expect with each interaction. His standards and values are superior along with compassion and empathy for the situation his clients are experiencing. Every email receives a quick response and he remains involved in the case negotiating terms that meet the needs of his clients. My case was extremely successful and I would highly recommend Tom and his legal team.
