Review Thomas Nagel

Awesome attorney

Posted by

I was Looking for an attorney for my brother, and He was the only attorney I called that actually talked to me the day after thanksgiving. That along meant a lot. Everyone else said to call Monday but I needed help before Monday. He was able to get the charges dismissed.

I was contracting overseas when I found myself in a bit of legal trouble stateside. Mr. Nagel was there to save the day. I have a security clearance and really couldn't afford to have any kinda blemish on my record. He understood my needs and met my expectations. Worth every penny

Went above and beyond

Posted by

Attorney Nagel worked for me for 20 months on a complicated DUI case. I live in CT and the charges were in GA and it complicated things greatly. He was able to work with the prosecutor and have a plea bargain worked out for me ahead of time so that when I flew down I knew what to expect.

BEST LAWYER

Posted by

I was arrested for a DUI and possesion of marijuana, Mr. Nagel did an amazing job, and charges were dropped, and with the possesion of marijuana, it was reduced to an 750$ fine, and 20 hours community service, then also to be removed from record! Fantastic lawyer, made everything way more painless and simple, I got to keep my license, no points on the license, no DUI classes, no probation, I am so glad a friend directed me in his direction!

No NEED TO LOOK ANY FURTHER

Posted by

It would be near impossible for me to describe what Mr. Nagle has done to help my friend. Most people would say "unbelievable". The traffic tickets and I'm NOT speaking of one set of citations but three separate cases with numerous citations on each case. Mr. Nagle has been very professional and also personal. He's NEVER missed a court appearance & Always timely. I could not say enough good things to describe his representation for Rocky. And this is not the first experience with the Law throughout his Rockys lifetime. I think he's an amazing attorney and if I ever need one myself I wouldn't look any further. I can't express enough thanks to you Mr. Nagle but I know one thing, you are one heck of an attorney. Thank you for everything, AND I MEAN EVERYTHING. AND IF ANYONE IS LOOKING FOR A GOOD ATTORNEY AND READING THIS, STOP LOOKING...MR. NAGLE IS THE ONE!....I CAN PROMISE He will TAKE CARE OF YOU!!! Thanks so much Tom Rocky & Karen

The best attorney in Atlanta !!!!

Posted by

I am a mother that last year my daughter got in trouble with the law and was so frightened since her charges just kept adding up for absolutely no reason. It was one of the most confusing cases. After lots of research , we hired Mr. Thomas Nagel as her lawyer. He was the most knowledgeable in criminal case that gave me the comfort that I needed at that time, he was always there for her , worked so hard with all his heart and passion to help his client and deliver the justice !!! I recomment indefinitely to whomever is seeking justice or any kind of help in criminal law, he is your lawyer!

Tom, thank you very very much for representing me. You did and exceptional job and very happy with results and quality of work you did. I would not hesitate to refer you to friends or anyone. You were very respectful and timely as well as genuine. It's very hard to find lawyers like you these days and you should feel proud to carry your position and the work you do. Best of luck with life and all you do. Thank you again for everything.

Excellent criminal attorney

Posted by

Tom, I can't thank you enough for what you did for my son. You told me from the start that you would be able to get my son off without jail time or a trial; I found it hard to hope for given the severity of the charges, but that's exactly what you did. My son's life has changed for the better as a result of this, not just because he is a free man but also because he is now on a positive path that he is committed to continuing for the rest of his life. I can't thank you enough. C. L.

Best Choice

Posted by

Mr. Nagel was knowledgeable and agressive with actions he knew would help me tremendously. My tickes were reduced and Nagel fought for me to keep my license, which I did! Things worked out well for me just as Nagel said it would. I feel Nagel was the best choice for me due to his court relationships and years of experience.
