Don’t waste your money or time

Horrible person rude screams and yells and cusses you treats you terribly very condescending cons you out of more money doesn’t do his job doesn’t follow directions doesn’t file any paperwork destroys your case by ignorance or on purpose

Posted by anonymous | March 09, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Guardianship

Lured us in, took our money, and recieved ZERO in return!

Hired and paid up front for un-contested Paternal Guardianship. Incorrect packets, repeated mistakes on documents, information sent about someone elses child in a different state, failure to educate himself in Paternal guardianship, convinced us process would move expedentially, absence of comunica...tion, ostersized if we had a question, and put us on a path to no where! Requested a phone call and he was out of control with anger and hung up. He took our money and delivered NOTHING! Hired a legit attorney and completed the process under 2 months. People like us trust and pay for representation to handle sensitive matters. The only thing that went quick, was Thomas Gurrola taking our money! All of the statement above are facts! There is proof in the pudding, and we have a ton of pudding!

Posted by Shawn | August 24, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Highly recommended

We had an extremely complicated child custody case with another attorney at the firm. I was coming from another state, and my ex, the mother of my child was in prison. We had to start from scratch as my name wasn’t on the birth certificate and there had been no DNA testing. My ex was extremely uncoop...erative and after two failed mediation’s, our case went to trial. At this point in time, our attorney quit the firm on us, with no warning. Tom reviewed our case and picked it up before trial- and he was very quick to learn the specifics and complications of our case. Tom and Jill answered all our questions and explained things in detail. Very good communication and a high level of professionalism. As trial preparation came near, Tom and I had several meetings and was very honest about potential outcomes. Tom did a great job of preparing me for trial and cross examination also. On the day of trial, Tom fought hard. Both for me and during cross examination to reveal the truth in all the situations that arose. Tom won my case, and he did exactly what we hired him to do. He was supportive and optimistic during breaks and kept the air light as to not panic me and I even saw him shake the opposing councils hand after trail and commend them for a job well done in court. Something I definitely did not expect. Thanks to Tom and the supporting staff, my family is complete. If I ever am in need of further legal help, this is where I will go. I definitely recommend Tom as a fighter and professional, respectful, honest, and hard working attorney.

Quick resolution!

I wrongly received a ticket for not paying a toll booth on a FL turnpike. The car pictured on the ticket was not mine. After not being able to find resolution on my own, I reached out to Tom and his team at Liberty Law to help me. They were very knowledgeable and professional. The ticket was removed ...and everything resolved extremely quickly.
