My Lawyer, My Friend

I met Tommy Maddox around 1972 when he moved in across the street. We became friends and basically "grew up together." I moved away, but when I returned to Georgia, we were in touch again. In 2007, my mother was attacked by a pack of dogs. Much to the surprise of the medical team, she survived.... However, her injuries were so extensive, she eventually succumbed to them 3 1/2 months later. As soon as I learned of the attacks and traveled to Georgia, I contacted Tommy. He is the only one I wanted to trust with this case, as it involved my mom who was precious to me. It proved to be the right thing to do. He kept in constant contact, explained everything so I could understand, and worked hard to resolve the cases (there were two). Although no amount of money could bring my mom back, the settlements we reached were acceptable. I will always remember his kind, caring ways and appreciate all he has done for me.

So good I used him again

This is the second time I have used Mr. Maddox for my legal needs. He is straight forward professional and very trustworthy. Tommy is very personable and caring. He has kept me informed throughout the whole process and when I have needed to contact him he has either answered the phone or called me ...right back in a very timely manner.

The best attorney a single parent can get in Atlanta.

Tommy Maddox is anything but the average attorney. He proved to me time and time again that he is trustworthy, hardworking, and dedicated to my case no matter what. Just knowing that he has been through a divorce was comforting to me, but after seeing him in action I knew I had the BEST attorney in... Atlanta in my corner. Mr. Maddox was always patient with me and helped take the emotion out of the issues that came up. He kept striving to keep me on task and showed me how to look at things differently. If you need help, as a single parent, or in a divorce/custody setting Tommy is definitely the attorney for you. I owe Mr. Maddox (Tommy) a great deal more than money. If you are looking for the right person to handle your case, then look no further. Thomas Maddox is your man!

Tommy's a great attorney without the pretense.

I never, before, had to hire a Family Law attorney until the father of my daughter's child filed a legitimation suit. The suit also included visitation and child support issues. I freaked! Having no idea where to turn, and like everyone else, I got on the internet in search of an attorney. I had call...ed a couple of attorneys and, in each instance, was only able to speak with a receptionist. They did nothing but intensify the gloom and doom! Then I came upon Tommy's name and website. With his office being relatively close to home, I called. To my surprise, he answered the phone! It only took a couple of minutes of conversation for me to decide to hire him. He put me at ease immediately and we set up an initial appointment. We met and I knew I had made the right decision. He kept me updated as things progressed with the other attorney. He strongly suggested mediation, which I agreed to, and was able to keep the suit out of court. From his expertise and through his mediation efforts, my daughter was able to secure a reasonable visitation schedule for her daughter's father and more than reasonable child support payments. If I ever, again, need a Family Law attorney, Tommy's the person I'll call.
