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.

Excellent Attorney, Highly Recommend

I had the privilege of having Thomas represent me for severe injuries I received in an automobile accident a two years ago. During all aspects of the case, Thomas always kept me informed of what was happening and was never more than a phone call away. He was also able to secure a very good settlement... for me prior to trial. I have nothing but the highest recommendation for him.

Amazing Experience, Excellent Attorney!

This is the first review I have ever actually taken the time to write, because I wish I had consulted this website when I first obtained legal counsel. How do you write a review for a man that changed your life? Not sure, but I will try! After obtaining severe injuries in a car accident several ye...ars ago, I blindly was lead to an attorney group that quickly became my living nightmare!! Needless to say, I sought and hired new counsel with Mr. Lyman and his firm. After being shoved around like cattle in a firm that did not value the client, I was able to fully APPRECIATE the level of service Thomas provided. I went from working with low paid staff members that rarely did their jobs, to a man that handed everything to me on a silver platter. A little over the top, but truly, I swear once I signed, he handled EVERY aspect of my case, constantly keeping me in the know and a part of every decision. Thomas truly made me feel as though I was his only client. If he wasn't able to answer my calls, he typically would respond that day--even if that meant after hours! Now, this was unusual compared to the week (or more) turnaround time I was accustom to. More than this, Thomas was a down to earth, honest, and extremely intelligent attorney. He was able to settle my case before going to trial, for more than I had ever expected or even hoped for. Living with pain is something he couldn't take away, but let me assure you, when it came to details of the case, the settlement, all medical bills, and a nice goose egg for the future…Thomas GOT IT DONE!! My entire family is more than appreciative for all he did for us. Although I hope I won’t need his services EVER again…should I need an attorney, there is no doubt he is and I always will be my go to guy!
