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 .

Awful experience

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.

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.
