An Attorney who will stand by you and fight with you using honesty and integrity!

After finding Mr. Salata off of the internet I met with him regarding my divorce and custody of my children. He sat across from me and listened wholeheartedly as I told him my concerns about my divorce. He was honest, patient and told me what I needed to hear not what I wanted to hear. He explaine...d to process of divorce, and how he would be there every step of the way navigating it for me. His staff is just as accommodating and helpful as Mr. Salata is. While divorce is not an easy thing to go through Mr. Salata made it palpable and rather painless by being upfront and honest. I highly recommend Tom Salata to anyone who is in need of legal help. He is one person I am glad I had on my side fighting for me.

"Mr. Salata is a fantastic criminal lawyer. He knows his stuff inside and out. He is one of the folks I send referrals to and I would recommend him in a heartbeat. He is also a wonderful member of the legal community, and a testament to the professionalism of the bar. When I had a criminal case I took and had questions about procedure, tactics, and what to expect, Mr. Salata took the time out of his busy day to speak with me and mentor me. Multiple times. He is not just a great lawyer for his clients, but he is a great colleague to his fellow lawyers."

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.
