Tom Killoren is your guy!

A friend of mine from church recommended the firm, so I called and asked them to give me the nicest guy they had. They gave me Tom Killoren, and I couldn't have been happier. Tom is an extremely courteous and respectful person. He is very professional and knowledgeable--he even called on a Sunday onc...e to update me on my case. I was very pleased with my results, and I have already recommended Tom to a friend. If you need a great attorney, Tom Killoren is your guy!

I would recommend Tom to anyone who needs good legal representation!

My wife and I were referred to Tom A. Killoren, Jr., at Harrison, White, Smith & Coggins, P.C., by a close friend. Tom has worked with us on two occasions and we have been satisfied with the results both times. I would recommend Tom to anyone who needs good legal representation—in fact, we have recom...mended Tom to our friends. Tom works diligently for his clients and is willing to go the extra mile while making them feel involved with the process. Tom Killoren is a great guy!

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.
