I trust my lawyer

Tom Gorman always knows the correct way to handle any problem. He is reliable and always returns calls. He has a very keen sense of justice and may not always tell me what I want to hear,but I know it is right. He is a wise counsel and staunch advocate for his clients. His work in the service of his ...clients is so broad that he is the only lawyer I would ever need. I will always respect his knowledge,judgement and integrity. Lastly I appreciate the peace of mind those correct decisions have made in my life.

Avvo Rating

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.
