Highly regarded and recommended.

I have unfortunately needed his services on several moving violations. He has always gone out of his way to keep me informed and up to date with actions being taken. I highly recommend him to any and everyone seeking knowledgable representation. He lives and breathes the ins and outs of the judic...ial system in our area.

I would recommend Jeff Thomas to my friends...

Jeff Thomas handled multiple cases for me and spent a great deal of time explaining every step of the process to me. Not only was the communication from the clerical staff exceptional, but Mr. Thomas personally would take time to communicate with me regarding every aspect of my case, especially as ou...r court dates were approaching. He was always professional and courteous. He was very knowledgeable about a variety of aspects regarding my case and discussed every possible avenue we could pursue. I would highly recommend Jeff Thomas to anyone in need of an attorney.

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.
