A Good Man!!!!

There are not many attorneys left like Mr Ford ,he is knowledgeable compassionate and most importantly he shoots straight from the hip.

Great lawyer

Mr. Ford just tells you like it is! He was hard to get to know to begin with but after it was all said and done he did the impossible! Love this little cocky man. I would recommend him!

SCAM

This man is a SCAM ! He is arrogant and all about money , he was suppose to be my lawyer but a sudden change happened with my court date and got switched last minute and so his services were no longer needed , He was sent money over the course of 1-3 months and refuses to send it back , he keeps ma...king excuses as to why he hasn’t sent it and so fourth . DO NOT USE THIS FIRM!!! Very unprofessional , never answers phone calls or texts .

Horrible experience

Tom Ford refused to review the discovery for my case. I'm not sure how an attorney can defend you without reviewing the evidence. He did not inform me of court dates and I almost missed one. On another occasion he called me to inform me of the court date 30 minutes before it started when I live an ho...ur away. On one occasion he called me screaming cuss words at me over and over and wouldn't even let me talk and then hung up on me. He was extremely unprofessional and just wanted to try to pressure me to accept a horrible plea deal that included prison time - WITHOUT even reviewing the evidence. Finally I fired him and when I asked for a copy of my file to give to a new attorney he said he didn't have one - that it was all in his head. The new attorney was able to actually review the evidence and negotiate probation for me. If I had stayed with Tom Ford I would be in prison right now.

Unrelenting in opposition

Mr Ford established his authority with unrelenting thoroughness. In the face of severe opposition, My son facing was 40 years with 3 strikes/major offenses and walked away serving 5 years, which is unprecedented in his case. Mr Ford is very confident and does not play. Walk the walk with him and he ...will see you through it till the end. From the beginning I new God led me to him. Thank you again Mr Ford

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2015.

Review Panel Reprimand issued in GA, 2015

updated on 11/19/2015

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case, the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
