My philosophy is simple. Most of my cases should and do resolve without a trial. However, when the insurance companies are unwilling to reimburse my clients fairly.....I take them to trial. My clients tell me they appreciate the fact that I keep them informed of the status of their case.

succesfully represented husband and daughter

Mr Popes firm helped both my husband and daughter after car wrecks..I was in the courtroom with my husband and we both were very pleased with the professional representation he received. We were successful in both cases.We would not hesitate to work with them in the future. Thanks Hasty Pope

Wonderful Advocate

As wonderful as this country is, there is one fact that is a bit disturbing….we have a legal system, not a justice system. Tom Pope III helped me, a victim of an accident, get through this journey and keeping justice in the forefront. As my advocate, Tom acted on my behalf the whole way through the ...legal process. He and his team were there to inform me, educate me, and act on my behalf. It is such a great feeling knowing I had the best team. I am so pleased with his service that I would recommend him to anyone!!!! (I already have).

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.
