Excellent Experience/ Experiencia Excelente

Very professional but compassionate. Efficient, prompt, dedicated, not just him but his entire team. After an experience with a previous attorney, Mr. Treece changed my perspective and it was a fabulous experience. And even though the time I was going through was not the best, Mr. Treece and his team... made everything easier. They sincerely made me feel that for them, I was not just another case, but they took care of me in every detail, not only providing me with information but even beyond that, they gave me all the support. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Treece and your entire team, for all your support, integrity and professionalism (But the way, a judge was the one who recommended you to me, that says it all). Muy profesional pero compasivo. Eficaz, rápido, dedicado, no sólo él sino todo su equipo. Después de una experiencia con un abogado anterior, el Sr. Treece cambió mi perspectiva y fue una experiencia fabulosa. Y aunque el momento por el que estaba pasando no era el mejor, el Sr. Treece y su equipo hicieron que todo fuera más fácil. Sinceramente me hicieron sentir que para ellos, yo no era un caso más, sino que me cuidaron en cada detalle, no sólo proporcionándome información sino incluso más allá, me dieron todo el apoyo. Gracias Sr. y Sra. Treece y a todo su equipo, por todo su apoyo, integridad y profesionalidad (Por cierto, un juez fue quien me los recomendó, eso lo dice todo).

Time-Sharing & Shared Responsibilities

We were referred to this lawyer by a previous Duval county (Florida) judge after the separation of the unwed parents of a child with the indication that the mother might leave the state with the child and will not return. Florida law does not grant legal rights to an unwed father until paternity, tim...e-sharing and shared responsibilities are established in court. Overall, I am very satisfied with the result of this temporary hearing, giving credit to Debra and Thomas Treece. We are still waiting for the final hearing and hope that the Treece law team will continue to represent us fairly and honestly. The Treece law team does not shoot for bashing the opposite party. From the beginning on, it was clear that they want a fair and honest outcome with no lies and only honesty. The reason to seek help was to fairly establish legal rights for the father and do all we can to benefit the child. The Treece law team maintained to fairly reach an agreement and asked for the continuation of the child's primary parent, which is tough to establish if it is the father who performed most parental responsibilities. One "thing" I would like to mention is that I wish that the Treece law team would be more readily available when the father has an IMMEDIATE legal question, due to the mother using unfair tactics, lies and accusations that are unwarranted. I would love to at times receive a quick, brief legal advise right then and there, though acknowledge that we are not their only clients. If you are looking for an aggressive lawyer to bash your opponent, keep looking. If you are looking for an aggressive FAIR lawyer, "fighting" for what is the honest truth and the best for the child, you found a calm legal team working for you.

Child Custody

Once my daughter received an order from the court, my daughter interviewed with many other attorneys. They would only allow her to talk with them. Upon meeting Mrs. Treece, I felt an immediate connection to her and Mr. Treece. In my opinion, they are like family to us. They are very approachable as w...ell as professional. My daughter who is a new attorney herself knew this case needed experienced attorneys that would give her their best efforts. According to my daughter at trial, they did just that. Their entire staff has been amazing. I am very thankful for everything they have done and continue to do for my daughter and granddaughter!!!

Hire these attorneys right away!!!

My husband and I were devastated for our daughter and grandson when our son in law announced he wanted a divorce. We didn’t know how to help or who to turn to. After hiring another attorney and being completely dissatisfied, we were led to Mr Tom Treece and his wife. We could not have been happier. T...hey were on the ball from day one. They kept everyone informed and advised our daughter at every turn. They spent hours and hours prepping her for a very difficult hearing. They never guaranteed success, but they did promise to give her their best effort. That is exactly what they did!!! When the hearing was over and before the judge announced his findings, we were completely at peace with whatever was decided because we knew everything had been said and done….My daughter and grandson were granted relocation, and we are so thankful for the wisdom and work that Mr Tom and Deborah put in. Also…a shoutout to the amazing office staff.

Looking Out for Our Future

Mr. Treece is an attorney that I depended on during the most difficult time of my life. He took the time to carefully understand our situation and then took charge of handling the legal aspects of the situation. He made sure that everything was completed with my best interest in mind and with the bes...t interests of my children in mind. He truly cared about our future. He was thorough and professional in all of the proceedings and in all of the paperwork. Mrs. Treece also took an interest in our case and kindly shared her wisdom and expertise in the situation as well. It has been many years since Mr. and Mrs. Treece helped my family as our legal representation, but I can truly say that I continue to be grateful for their contribution to our lives.
