A GREAT PERSON AND HUMAN BEING.

Goes out of his way to make sure no one doesn't get a fare out come. I have sent several people to him and not 1 was unhappy with his work.

Absolutely Amazing

Thomas has been my attorney for years. Both cases he handled for me were ultimately dismissed. Others I have referred to him have also have success stories. Thomas is very upfront about a situation and will give you the honest opinion of how it will play out if he gets involved, and I’ve personally n...ever experienced anything different from what he stated would occur. The only attorney I will call for everything!

Delighted

I’m so excited and pleased by Mr. Florio’s services. He was professional, persistent and honest. He tells you up front if he’s able to take your case or not and doesn’t just take your money if he isn’t sure he will be able to get the best possible outcome. He got my fiancé released early from his sen...tence and it only took 6 days from the date I officially hired him to be our lawyer. Even after being inpatient and giving him a hard time he continued to keep his word push for results and did exactly what he said he would do and followed up with me all the way to the actual release of my fiancé. We are beyond grateful and happy and I cannot thank him enough for everything he has done for my family and we use him in a heartbeat if ever needing a lawyer again.

Far away from home

I want to start out by letting you (the reader) know that if it wasn’t for Thomas Florio I wouldn’t be free or able to even share this review... I’m not from Georgia... not even close I flew down and got jammed up ... my charge was pretty serious to say the least .. my family was looking in the phone... books for someone to represent me nobody seemed confident to handle this case ... locked down with no bail far away from home I start to ask the other inmates do they know any good lawyers ... I’m not exaggerating when I say 80% of the population said mr. Florio is the best of the best and only a hand full of people have his number.. when your dealing with your freedom you get what you pay for ... my family contacted him and he came to see me the very next day.. he told me he could get me a bail told me what I was facing based off the information I gave him and told me he won’t lie to me to make me feel good and that it’s his job to tell you straight up what the situation is and that if I hire him he works for me not the other way around.. I respect that he has always looked me straight in the eyes ... so I hired him and sure enough he got a bail set... he told me from the very beginning that it would be extremely hard for me to bail out once they granted bail because I am not from Georgia and have no connection to the state... once again he was right so there I sat... no indictment no court date ... but you know what .. he came to see me told me this would help my case down the line to have a little time served while he works the case .. he answered my family’s call everytime or got back to them as soon as he was able ... he was very knowledgeable about my situation from previous experience representing others with the same charges ... I caught a break and ended up bailing out and flew back home all the whole staying in contact with my lawyer as he did what he could so I wouldn’t have to fly back tell I really needed too... in the end he got me the deal he told me he would work for from the very beginning and he has truly been a blessing to my family and I consider him a friend that I trust .. so if you care for your loved one in need of a lawyer look no further.. you will not be disappointed and even more valuable you will not be misled Because he will tell it like it is and he will fight ... thanks for reading and good luck
