Do NOT hire this attorney — he took my money and did nothing for me

I hired Thomas C. Nagel to help with a minor legal issue after he advertised free consultations and claimed to be experienced with warrants. In a moment of panic, I paid him $400 through Zelle and signed a virtual agreement — hoping for peace of mind and professional support. Unfortunately, he did... absolutely nothing to help me. He didn’t follow through on the actions he promised, never reached out to the officer involved, and left me to navigate the stress completely on my own. I had to deal with the situation by myself, despite paying him in full. To make matters worse, when I looked him up later, I found a few negative reviews describing similar experiences — people being charged for work that was never done. Please save your money and your energy. There are better, more ethical attorneys out there who won’t take advantage of people when they’re scared. I deeply regret trusting him and hope this review helps someone else avoid the same mistake.

Awesome attorney

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.

Great Experience!!!

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

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

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 an...d 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!
