Outstanding Business Attorney

Tom is my Go To Attorney! And, Even though he couldn't help me directly with my recent business situation he was able to find me another Attorney who could take my case. His honesty and straight forward no nonsense way is above reproach and I will use him the next time I need an Attorney in FL. So...me Attorney's would have just taken my case and not cared about the ethical perception.

Fantastic Lawyer!

Professional, respectful, and kind. He worked with us on creating wills when our children were born. He's also working with me on my business corporation. It's wonderful working with Tom.

Excellent work on estate planning and handling of estate

Tom handled estate planning for three members of my family. Everything was quick, convenient and reasonable priced. Later, after my mother passed away, he provided excellent service and advice for handling the administration of her will and estate. His advice saved us a lot of money and helped us th...rough a difficult time.

A lawyer and a friend

Tom was most helpful in setting up and informative about all the leagal matters that need to be in place in any persons life. He keeps us updated when anything new happens in the State laws. Could not be a more knowagable and nicer lawyer who we think of also as a friend.

Experienced and Knowledgeable

I hired Thomas Pye to re-do my Will, as my past Will was obsolete. I also had him do a Power of Attorney document. Thomas was very professional, knowledgeable, responsive and courteous. I felt he had very competitive fees for services he provided. I was very pleased with both final documents. I felt ...very assured using Thomas as my attorney that both documents were done accurately and he did them according to Florida law.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
