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.

Tom Pope is Incredible!

Tom Pope alongside his paralegals, Hannah and Kacie, handled my case brilliantly. Tom is incredibly personable, and reassured me from the first conversation what he stands for and how he operates. Getting out of my accident, I originally had no idea what to do, but this conversation solidified my dec...ision. I was constantly in the loop on what was going on throughout my case, and I didn't have to deal with any of the stress. I documented injuries and signed a couple forms, but they handled everything else. I am a full time employee and a full time college student in the middle of my senior year, so I am incredibly appreciative of how simple this process was all thanks to Tom, Hannah, and Kacie. Thank you guys!

Best Attorney by Far!

Thank you Tom Pope for walking me through every step of the process for my case! You, Hannah and Kacie have been such a blessing to me and my family. You took your time with my case to make sure I was healed completely and compensated correctly! I am most excited about the fact that I feel so much... better after my treatments and that my case was treated with personal care and respect! Thank you for everything!

Excellent service

I highly recommend Mr.Pope and his paralegal Ms.McKinley for their outstanding legal representation. Both went above and beyond to handle my case with expertise and professionalism. Their attention to detail, clear communication, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome were truly except...ional. I felt confident and supported throughout the entire legal process, and I couldn't be happier with the results. If you're seeking a lawyer who gets results and genuinely cares about their clients, Mr.Pope is the one to choose.

Stressed and Scared Mom

This was our first experience using/needing a lawyer and it was beyond my expectation. Tom and his team helped prepare my daughter for deposition, kept in great communication with her and us (we live out of state). She was a minor at the time of the accident and they treated her with such respect. ... Her settlement paid for all of her bills (which they took care of for us) and helped to offset other expenses. I can't say enough good things. Scary, stressful situation made MUCH easier. Thanks again Tom and team. You won't be sorry if you go with this firm.

Definitely Recommend

From the day I met with Mr. Pope and Hannah I knew I had found the perfect team. They handled everything when it came to my case so all I had to do was focus on healing. They kept me constantly updated and explained everything to me in detail throughout the entire process. They Won my case!! Although... my healing took years Mr. Pope and Hannah were patient with me and made sure I knew the goal was for me to be healed not just a settlement and that meant a lot to me. I can not express enough how blessed I was to have him as my lawyer and how much I appreciate him and his firm.
