Posted by Rocky Miller & Karen | August 04, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

No NEED TO LOOK ANY FURTHER

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

Great Attorney!

We hired Tom to represent our son in a complicated (and serious) legal case in Atlanta. While the case was being handled our son had some other issues in two other counties, one of which Tom handled himself directly, and another involved some long distance negotiations with another legal team. Tom ha...ndled all three cases in an extremely professional manner, and managed to get the best possibly outcome for our son. Each case was different and unique in its own way, but Tom handled each of them amazingly well and professionally. One of the cases was lengthy, and we had to attend court regularly, but Tom was always there to negotiate and help us through any difficult moments. We would highly recommend Tom for any and all legal issues, he will work hard and smart to obtain the best results.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
