Competent and Great Attorney

I've never needed an attorney, but I made the right call to Mr. Florio for help when it was necessary. I'm forever grateful.

Honest and Fair

I have known Thomas Florio for years and although I know other Attorney's, he is by far the most reliable, dependable and trustworthy Attorney I have ever met. I have hired him personally for my family and I have recommended him to others for Criminal Defense. Thomas is very attentive to each situa...tion and his integrity proves that he works very hard and diligently for his clients. Although he is a very busy person representing the surrounding areas in Georgia, he makes the time for each client. You never have to wonder if he has your best interest when he is working for you because each person is treated as priority. In my line of business I have referred numerous people to this lawyer with outstanding results. In the event it was not his expertise, he would refer the person to someone else that may specialize in their particular case. Additionally, Thomas Florio does not like injustice and unfairness. He is very attentive to issues that are going on in this world in which we live in today. His level of commitment and understanding towards unexpected situations and circumstances, not only affect his client, but he knows how it also can affect his clients family and well being of everyone involved. Another remarkable asset of Thomas Florio is that he will take the time out of his busy schedule to meet with future Law students and interns. These students are seeking advice on their career path in the Legal system as future Attorney's. I find this a commendable way of how he supports giving back to the community. I would highly recommend Thomas Florio to anyone who needs representation by an Attorney.

Fantastic, Reasonable, Competent, and Service Oriented Representation

I had used Thomas Florio to help me with a DUI charge from the "Nighthawks" in Buckhead (rogue DUI task force that stops everyone). It was the classic two beer DUI we all here stories about. Mr. Florio was understanding, non-judgemental, very competent honest, and truly an advocate. He does not make ...unrealistic promises and clearly outlines his course of action for you particular case. He successfully got my DUI reduced to Reckless Driving which is a victory. He strategically saved my driver's license and settled my case timely and to my satisfaction and more. Of course every case is unique. Hopefully, you will never need a criminal attorney, but if so, I would highly recommend Mr. Florio without hesitation for competent, personalized, and aggressive representation while remaining humble. A great attorney and great guy all around. My life is has been back on track as if this had never happened and I have Thomas Florio to thank.

Excellent criminal defense attorney

Mr.Florio is awesome!!!He went the courtroom for us and made a way out of no way..when everything was against us he faught harder..he said he would fight for us and we win ..he convinced the DA to go along with dropping all felony charges which was about 8 down to misdemeanors..and some charges dropp...ed and he pleased no longer so my boyfriend probation officer wouldn't bother him..get this he's on first offender..if he would have kept those felonies he would have been gone to prison right now..he gave my man a chance at life again to get it together as a free non convicted felon..he can start his life over and become everything he ever wanted to be ..I am so so greatful... I recommend this attorney to everyone...#THE BEST ATTORNEY IN THE CITY...
