I was referred to Tom by one of his colleagues to handle a case involving an expungement of which my application had been denied twice within a five year period. I had successfully fulfilled the conditions of my pre-trial diversion which permitted eligibility for an expungement, yet I continued to re...ceive denial. Upon our initial phone contact, I indicated that I was a licensed professional whose license was approaching renewal which may involve a background check. As requested, Tom identified the problem and expeditiously proceeded to resolve my case in a timely manner. Tom demonstrates superb rapport with DA's, judges, and Atlanta law enforcement, as well as exceptional collegial relationships. Additionally, during his explanations of the procedures for case resolution, he conversed in layman's terms, which aided in my comprehension of the legalities involved. Tom listened, not only to my legal issues, but also to my personal challenges that this issue had produced. It is quite difficult to locate an attorney who will "fight for you", and who also integrates empathy into his interactions. Tom IS that attorney! I recommend him regarding any criminal defense case! Thanks, Tom
