Competent, reliable attorney in & out of the courtroom

Unfortunately, almost as soon as he turned 18, our son made some poor choices & found himself in very, very serious trouble as an adult. With absolutely no idea of who to call, we blindly googled attorneys in our area & happened upon Brian Thoman. we read his bio & the reviews he had online. We wer...e impressed that he had prior prosecutor work under his belt as the charges pending against our son were criminal. After calling a couple of other attorneys we knew from their t.v. ads, we felt Brian was definitely the best fit for our son’s situation. Brian not only had knowledge of the law, but compassion. He explained everything to us thoroughly & never gave us any false sense of hope. He was very clear about what we could expect, but he worked tirelessly until the very end to ensure a positive outcome for our family. Our son wisely followed Brian's advice to the "t" & the very serious felony charges were dropped. I have no doubt that if we hadn't hired Brian, our son would be sitting in jail right now—possibly for several years. Brian had a very good rapport with the prosecution attorneys & it was clear in viewing their interactions in court that they had respect for him & took him seriously. He also took the time to meet with the detective (usually a witness for the prosecution) on our son’s behalf & Brian was also able to secure a favorable review of our son from the detective to present to the prosecutor & Judge in our son’s defense. We are so very glad that we used Brian Thoman & would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a skilled attorney. His assistant, Amanda, was amazing & kept us updated & on track every step of the way. On a side note, they also worked with us on their fees & we were able to pay over time so it didn’t put too much of a strain on our finances all at once. Bottom line…..call Brian Thoman if you need a competent, reliable attorney in & out of the courtroom. He was definitely worth every penny. We are all so very grateful to Brian & Amanda for all their hard work & diligence over the past year, which made it possible for our family to begin this New Year with a fresh outlook-thank you

I can't believe it!

I was referred to Mr. Thoman by one of his other clients. I was impressed right away. He took the time to talk to me, to get my side of the story, and to help me. He told me that I had a good case and that I should fight. The case went to trial in front of the Judge, and he got the charges dismissed.... I was in shock. I could not believe that! I'm glad I listened to him, in the beginning I was telling him to get me a plea.

A good man to have in your corner

My ex accused me of DV and kidnapping when I wouldn't let her drive stoned on prescription meds. I was facing a felony charge. I could not afford to go to trial, but Mr. Thoman worked with me and the prosecutor to have the charge reduced to a misdemeanor with only 5 days of jail time and the rest sus...pended. I hated pleading guilty when I wasn't, but it let me get back to work and start putting the whole thing behind me. He explained everything to me patiently and helped me get through a horrid time. While I hope never to need a defense attorney again, I would certainly call him for any other legal work.

Great Lawyer

Great lawyer. I got into a situation which could have meant jail time, the stress was unbearable. Losing my job, house etc. Brian negotiated with the prosecutor and I ended up only having to attend evaluation classes, with no guilt. The prosecutor wanted me to plead guilty and defer the charges, Bria...n told her NO, that we would do a continuance and after 6 months the charges would be dropped without any guilty plea, she agreed. It was just a walk in the park for him, he had control of the situation from the start. He also kept me informed throughout and above all, he was very caring and gave great advice. With him leading the charge, the whole trial may have lasted 10 minutes. If you need a great lawyer, contact Brian Thoman, and don't even look anywhere else.....

Great Practice

Mr. Thoman and his practice provided expert service in my case. He was very honest, patient, and very experienced about the laws surrounding my case. He took a lot of time didn't rush through discussions and provided great advice. I would recommend this practice highly.
