Thomas James Ford III

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.

Mr. Ford was the worst thing that could have happened to my case. My life is tarnished for bogus charges stuck to my plea deal. Where I should have been guilty of only one charge. It was a take the plea or else situation which it was impossible for me to win at trial. The parole board even released m...e years ahead of my scheduled release due to a more diligent & professional attorney that presented my case and the parole board learned the truth and did what they felt was right. Not only did he take my family’s money, he was poor at communicating. I do not know how he handles lesser charges but if your charges are serious.. PLEASE SEARCH ELSEWHERE!!

I paid Tom Ford 1000 to represent me in my case for possession with intent to distribute, he is not the best at communication. But once my Courtney arrive nine months later, he showed up and took care of my case and got two felony charges dropped and I only had A possession charge misdemeanor, that w...ill go away in one year completely. Tom can be rude and cocky at times but he did his job that’s all that matters

I WOULD VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT CONSULTING THIS LAWYER. DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE AND RESEARCH. I had a simple drinking ticket. Solicitor offered me a deal I did not think was fair. I sought outside counsel, settled on Tom because he assured me he could get this mattered resolved with no punishment, or... maybe a small fine. I paid him about 2.5 times what others quoted me. Did not hear from him for months. Get a call, he said he got me a deal that was acceptable to me. Said he would send the paperwork. No paperwork came. Months later, another offer. $500 more than the previous. I asked to see the paperwork. He did not respond. Months passed again. He told me that now all I needed to do was get an evaluation saying I didn't have a problem. I told him I would be on vacation and couldn't get it done in 2 weeks. I now have a failure to appear that I found out about in the mail. Contacted Tom. He was very rude and disrespectful, saying a 5th graded understood more than I did. Not only did he get me a failure to appear, but come to find he could not even get me a better deal than I could've gotten myself. I had no choice but to fire him and seek other counsel.
