Thomas Florio

Thomas is a tremendous lawyer I've used him numerous occasions and each time he produced the results he stated that he would in each consultation. If you're ever in a situation where you need a lawyer this is the attorney to call..

Beyond Amazing!

For Mr. Florio to be as skilled and professional as he is, his down to earth humble persona will make you confident that you are in good hands. Mr. Florio treated me and my family with the upmost respect and was in my defense from beginning to end. If I had to describe his services in one word “Super...ior” would still come up short. Mr. Florio, our family continues to pray for your well being and prosperity, you are an AMAZING person! THANK YOU!

Honest, smart , brilliant , hard working

My son caught 6 charges against him , 4 felonies and 2 misdemeanors. We hired attorney Thomas Florio to take the case, and he was able to get the 4 felonies drop, The judge was offering him 12 months to serve in Clayton county jail and 12 months on paper for the 2 misdemeanors, but Attorney Florio ...got him 24 months misdemeanor probation . He did a tremendously great job. I will definitely hire him again if needed.

Handsome, expensive, but worth it

My sister was wrongly arrested back in march 2017. She was incarcerated without any evidence or anything pointing that she was guilty ahe spend almost 2 years in the henry county jail. But he finally got the charges dropped 3 felonies saved my sister from doing 30 years in prision for nothing. We are... very thankful he helped us get her back she is still not home but she atleast does not have 3 felonies on her record nor in prison until shes like 40. The saying "you get what you pay for" fits this man extremely. Very professional and answers at all times of the day. Hope you see this Thomas lol thank you for everything!

Super Awesome

I have never had not just an attorney, but a person to stand by me and believe in me as Mr. Florio did. I was facing 12 Charges and over 25 years in prison. I walked away with 1 charge and 3 years probation. He never misguided me in any way and always kept great communication with me at all times. He... is an amazing person and an outstanding lawyer!

  • 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.
