Highly recommend Attorney Toombs!

Attorney Toombs is a wonderful attorney. I’m so glad he handled my case against a car wash business that damaged my car. It was resolved in a timely manner and he and his staff were very professional. Highly recommend!

bankruptcy chapter 7

Hillman done my chapter 7 bankruptcy and I had no problems with him at all in fact I only paid $800 for him to do my paperwork and he never charged me anything else I am so glad that Hillman was there because I would have been out of plenty of money filing a chapter 7 bankruptc. I've known Mr. Toombs... for many years. His Word was good to me. Told me everything I needed to do and it was done with no problem. Got a great attorney with Mr. Toombs.

REVIEW

This attorney is not servicing the public as he contract to do so. He's agreed to assist me in a divorce which my husband committed adultery and I was suppose to be relieved after case was heard and all in the end he told me the divorce would be one fee at the end of the trail. it doubled. Need less ...to say divorce was very nasty due to him not being effective or to show great interest to help win. I thought for one moment he was literary trying to support my husband's attorney more than me as his client. He is the worst call back return office firm I've ever dealt with. I hope this helps someone to make a quick decision not to ever spend time to get consultation or to visit this practice at law office cause he is still practicing on how to collect your funds and not work to earn it.

A discrace to the practice of law!

This attorney will pretend to go above and beyond with filing bankruptcy papers so I went with him. Along the way, I continuously received conflicting information and responses from he and his wife (Teresa). I filed papers on time but on several occasions was told the paper work was not received and ...that I would have to pay a fee to refile (despite having evidence of the on-time filing). After paying out over $1,500 to file bankruptcy and waiting 3 months for my files to be dismissed, I came to find that instead my files were closed due to this attorney James Toombs not filing my paperwork stating "he never received them" again, even after given proof of three different people sending the paperwork over to him and his wife. This attorney has cost me money and has done NOTHING but continue to ask me to pay out for his company's negligence. I strongly advise anyone thinking about using these attorneys to reconsider. You will be out lots if you dont!

Experience

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2003.

Review Panel Reprimand issued in GA, 2003

updated on 03/09/2010

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case, the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
