Repeat Client for life!!

I first met Mr. Florio in 2014, I was hiring him for an ex boyfriend in Fulton. I’ve since hired him for 2 more of my own cases in Cobb and Clayton He has every quality you’d want in an attorney. He’s thorough, attentive, and knows your case as well as you. Every single time my resolution for my case... was exactly what I wanted or better. Mr. Florio is someone I’ve grown to trust and count on in my most difficult times of my life. He’s my go to attorney for anything legal.

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

Great Criminal Defense Lawyer

Mr Florio is absolutely the best criminal defense lawyer. hands down . My case was simple but, was very stressful .I wanted to hire the best lawyer for my representation. After researching , I decided to make an appointment with Mr. Florio , whom I instantly hired due to his professionalism, comp...etency, and knowledge of the law. Being a professional I could not afford to have bogus charges on my record. . Mr Florio didn't even once speak on a plea bargain to the DA. Mr Florio is great at getting charges dropped, negotiating a plea bargain, or preparing a case for trial. He crafted the best strategy for my defense, and charges were dismissed. When faced with a misdemeanor or felony criminal charge, hiring Mr Florio as your criminal defense lawyer affords you assistance in understanding the nature of the charges filed , and consequences of a criminal conviction on your record. He's the best!!

Best Lawyer Ever!!

My fiancé had a warrant issued and they came to my home to search for him. Once arrived, he surrendered but told me they will need to search the home bc they smelled marijuana. I waited 2 hours for them to get the warrant. Once searched they found minor things and ended up taking me to jail as well. ...My fiancé and I were both charged with several possession charges. After posting bond we did our research and found Attorney Thomas Florio. Listen, this was the Best decision we have ever made in our lives. Attorney Florio is extremely professional, patient, great listener, RELIABLE, knowledgeable, understanding, caring and personable!! He gathers ALL of the information, goes over it with you and then comes up with the best Plan for your betterment. He was always available when we needed him taking a lot of stress off of my fiancé and I by being so hands on. By the way, I have high anxiety and he has this calmness about him that rubs off on you! Fast forward to court... he was able to get my charges dropped and my fiancé received one year probation with a $250 fine!! If you want a lawyer that takes pride in his work and cares about his clients I highly recommend that you hire Attorney Florio. Please don’t waste anytime contemplating if he’s the right fit for you bc he is. Also you know how some lawyers don’t look/dress the part, you don’t have to worry about that... he’s always dressed in his TAILORED suits which to me makes a difference! My fiancé and I have agreed that if we ever need another attorney Florio is the ONLY one we will call for the rest of our lives. We consider him Family now bc this Man is a Beast at what he does and most importantly he cares about his clients! If you want the best results PLEASE hire him, definitely the Best Lawyer in Georgia hands down.
