I had the opportunity to watch Tom perform in Federal court on a high-level medical malpractice case resulting in the death of a young woman. I found him to be a fantastic advocate, and ultimately his firm's efforts lead to a eight-figure jury verdict for his client's family. He is enthusiastic and capable and I recommend him without reservation.
