Outstanding Representation with Passion and Determination

As a concerned father I obviously wanted the best legal representation for my son and there were reservations. After my first interview with Attorney T.C. Wooldridge any reservations that I had was immediately dismissed. My son and I was greeted with respect and understanding. Atty Wooldridge took ...time to listen to our concerns and was very prepared to discuss our case. He provided realistic expectations and suggestions on how we should proceed with our case within the court system. Even though it appeared that the odds were against us and we had a up hill challenge we belived in Atty Wooldridge and he believed in us. With all things considered, we were victorious with our case primarily due to our prayers, and Atty Wooldridge's knowledge of the legal system and his none stop hard work and intelligence. His representation in the court room was masterful. I was proud to be his client.

Diamond in the rough

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Wooldridge on a Federal Drug trafficking case in 2011 and spilled over into the start of 2012. From day one my prior understanding of Public Defenders was they don't fight for you and they most all the time want you to go to jail. I must tell you that Mr. Wooldr...idge totally changed my opinion on that matter. From the first day we met he was very honest with me and a striaght shooter. He was always easy to get in contact with and always responded quiclky to any matter or question I had. Even with the cards stacked against me Mr. Wooldridge put his boxing gloves on and faught for me till the very end. Through out my case Mr. Wooldridge was striaght forward in the time I was looking at, but assured me that he would do evrything in his power to fight hard in my case and that he did. I'm very pleased with the outcome of my case and I'm forever in debt to Mr. Wooldridge for the job and time he put into my case. If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't want any other lawyer fighting for me other then Thomas Wooldridge. If you're looking for a striaght shooter and a 12 round heavy weight fighter Thomas Wooldridge is your man you will not be dissapointed.

Federal crime lawyer | Oct 25

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Thomas since law school and he continues to "wow" me with his creative and zealous arguments. He always finds the angles other lawyers miss because he's not satisfied with the run-of-the-mill motions or arguments. He never mails it in and refuses to let the government push him around. You wont find him in the "Super Lawyers" ratings because he cares more about his clients than the recognition he deserves. If you or a loved one are charged with a federal crime, you won't find a better advocate than Thomas Wooldridge."

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I worked for Thomas when I first started practicing law. I can honestly say he has taught me most of what I know about criminal law. I've had the chance to see him in federal court on numerous occasions and would highly recommend him to anyone facing a federal criminal charge. He has an outstanding reputation with the judges and staff in the Northern and Southern Districts because of his diligence, professionalism, and knowledge of federal criminal issues."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I highly endorse my friend Thomas Wooldridge. Very few lawyers match Thomas' commitment and intensity in advocating for his clients. A few years ago, I had the privilege of observing a sentencing hearing at Thomas' invitation in which he achieved outstanding results for a client with a lengthy record. He is intelligent, methodical and thorough, yet a very aggressive advocate for his clients. Further, Thomas is an outstanding person who genuinely cares about his clients and in helping them better themselves. In summary, he is enthusiastic, energetic and very effective at what he does, I highly recommend him both to prospective clients and to lawyers seeking a competent and trusted lawyer for criminal defense referrals."
