Attorney With Compassion.
I met Thomas C Woodridge through the Georgia Bar Association. He was one of the attorneys referred to me by the Georgia Bar Association and dealing with people with disability on the American Disability Act. After talking with him by phone, we met to discuss my case in his office, and I’m glad we did...
"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."
"Thomas is an energetic and creative lawyer who will fight with a passion for his clients. His belief that clients deserve representation helps push him to advocate at the highest level."
"Thomas Wooldridge is a skilled lawyer. However, he does not rest on his skills alone—he works hard for every client. It should therefore comes as no surprise that he gets terrific results time and time again! Thomas and I have collaborated on a number of matters; he has impressed me with his work ethic and his determination to always represent his client with ability and zeal. I endorse Thomas Wooldridge."
"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."
"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."
"I have worked with and known Thomas for almost 10 years. He always provides lucid, direct, creative solutions in solving complex legal issues. He is an aggressive advocate for and always strives to protect and maintain his clients' rights. I highly recommend his work, and I welcome the opportunity to work with Thomas again in the future."
"Thomas is a creative and enthusiastic attorney, who is willing to fight for his clients. He isn't afraid of challenging the government or the law, and strives to obtain the best outcome in every case."
