This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very Knowledgable and Passionate

Jeremy Thomas was a great lawyer for my separation. From the initial consultation, he was always responsive, interested, and knowledgeable. He treated me with respect and helped me with all of my concerns with my separation. He even wrote a really good legal doc that got my ex to drop some of his cra...zy demands. I would recommend Jeremy without a doubt!

Issue resolved quickly.

After years of battling with my ex over a piece of property and being ignored, I had Mr. Thomas draft a letter demanding the issue be settled. The letter was firm but diplomatic, and within a day I was contacted by my ex and reached a settlement. Great job!

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.
