Way Above and Beyond my Expectations

I was visiting Atlanta for business, when a reckless airport shuttle driver managed to slide his van from wet highway, turned several times and end up in the ditch. Driver did not have proper up to date insurance. The tire of the van were in bad condition. Driver and his manager tried to hide the acc...ident from police. Since van company manager did not answer any of my calls, I had to hire a lawyer in Atlanta, while I was already back to my home in Maryland and was dealing with injuries and concussion that i got as a result of the accident. Not having any proper information about lawyers in Atlanta, I first tried to work with a large firm with good reviews. They held my case for more than a year without any reasonable success. Then they suggested to transfer it to another lawyer , which happened to be Thomas James Lyman. They told that in the past he was very successful with similar cases. I cannot express in words how much i am thankful for Thomas Lyman. HE was professional, very clear about the process, expectations, time table and tasks that are needed to be complete. He was very successful in receiving a compensation from the shuttle company for my injuries, and was extremally pleasant to work with during the entire process. If i even will need any legal help, he will always be my go to lawyer. I recommend him highly!

Professional, Compassionate, and Effective

After "interviewing" several personal injury attorneys following my major car accident, it was clear to me that Thomas Lyman was the only attorney suitable for the job. I felt comfortable talking with him about the merits of my case and never felt he had his own personal agenda. He listened to my con...cerns and always had my best interest. He continuously kept me in the loop regarding my case (which I now know is a rarity after hearing friends discuss their PI attorney nightmares) and I never felt like a burden when I called to ask him any questions. Thomas was always incredibly caring and professional throughout my ordeal. There was never a time that I called Thomas or sent him an email that he didn't immediately respond. He never made me feel that I was an interruption when I discussed my case with him. Thomas successfully negotiated a settlement that was double what I originally was going to accept from the insurance company. He made the entire process easy and fought zealously for my compensation. His knowledge of the law, concern for justice, and general respect for others keep me constantly referring him to any and everyone I meet who needs a personal injury attorney. I highly recommend this exceptional attorney to anyone who needs a compassionate professional to assist them with their personal injury case.
