Need to be disbarred

Most disrespectful and lying lawyer I ever hired. He lost my trial and appeal He lied the whole time saying He had it beat. He was suppose to file a motion within a certain time limit and kept lying saying I was going to get the motion in the mail so I waited 6 months until I finally got confirmation... from the clerks at the court that he never filed anything and I had to retain another to pick up where he lost at. I'm filing a complaint against a lawyer with the bar Association to see what I can have done about this matter he need to be sued and never be able to litigate again. I don't recommend him to no one.

Poor

Mr. Thomas is very unprofessional and needs to be disbarred. He does not answer the phone nor does he return any calls. The only phone call he returned was when he wanted his money. He does not communicate with his clients all he do is take people money and vanish.

Thomas Goggans

This is the most ridiculous lawyer I have ever had dealings with. After taking our case and of course our money he has been rude and would not talk with us about the case and his secretary is one rude lady. They sure didn't mind taking our money and then doing nothing. He has done nothing to help and... is always continuing the case. The day we called he said he could meet us right away and since then has completely shut down all communication. We heard he was the best trust me don't call him if he is the best just represent yourself because you are in deep trouble if you can't find anyone better. He did this to us and I pray that he doesn't treat all his client's this way. He promise he was going to get the charges dropped or at least lowered and he hasn't even been before the judge and keeps getting extensions. It has been almost 7 months and nothing. What has been done I have had to do for my family member myself. He will not communicate with us and his secretary always says she doesn't know anything. Wow, what do you need a secretary for if she never knows anything, that is just ridiculous, has an answering machine that he doesn't need either because he is not going to return your call anyway. He seems to care only about the money and does no work on your behalf. Please, do not use him if you have no other options represent yourself. Hired and paid what he charged but nothing absolutely nothing in return.

review

This is the most ridiculous lawyer in the US Bar. After taking your money, he does nothing, shuts down communication and just kills your case. He did this for me, and i have heard the same from many others. I had a DUI case and he promised he was going to appeal it and request jury hearing. He just s...topped communication and the day the case was called up in the Appeals court, he came unprepared, knew nothing about the details of my case and just screwed everything up. Just before i was called up, he pulled me out of court and together with the State trooper who was the prosecution witness, convinced me to withdraw the appeal and I naively did. He cares only about the money and will do no work on your behalf. Please, do not use him if you love yourself.
