The Best Lawyer Available

Mr Florio handled multiple cases of mine even after I got more!! He’s always readily available to his clients and will answer and handle all questions and concerns you have while fighting for you. His straight forward approach made me very comfortable to discuss my needs and wants to the way I want m...y cases handled. I had 3 open cases and should have been in jail after the first one but his knowledge of law along with his capabilities in court, helped keep me on the street with my family while he handled everything(as a lawyer should)and left me with no surprises as to what the state of Georgia wanted to do with me. His transparency with me and what was being discussed in the courts gave me a few options and he clearly told me all my options. The most important thing I gathered while having him as my attorney was he was understanding of my financial situation. We set up a payment plan(which took me almost a year to pay)but he stuck with me the whole time and even bought me more time to pay my own bills along with keeping our agreement. I can admit, it was 5 figures and he understood not many people have that on hand to dish out. By the time it was all said and done, with the severity of my charges and the courts pushing to send me to prison, I did a week in jail when my charges were pushing for 3 years!! I’m writing this to let any and everyone know that Mr Florio was worth every single penny!! From littering to murder, I recommend he represent you based on my own experience. His integrity and confidence won me over and I know if your in his jurisdiction that he will fight for you like you would fight for yourself, because if you lose your case he loses too and nobody wants a loser in their corner!! Thanks again Mr Florio, I hope I don’t need your services again but if I do I know your going to take care of everything inside those court rooms!!

Genius. Best money can buy! He is thorough, believes in defend before pleas. Florio is a different bread, he knows the system and the people in it, which matters. The weight his name Carries is 50% of what your offered and if you are even taken to trial or not, bc not many DAs what to see Thomas Flor...io in court. When you pay for legal representation you pay for comfort in the outcome of your case. My case carried 55 years and 48 months, I got 5 of the charges dropped and pleas to 5 years probation for 2, both the lesser charges and got them down graded less. #JUNKYARDDOG

The best lawyer ever.

When it came down to my brother it was all hands down. He was the best lawyer ever. He made sure communication was open it was never a time he didn’t answer or text back when I really needed him for my brother. I will definitely use him all the time no doubt about who my brother lawyer will be. Thank... you so much for helping us both time.
