Child custody nightmare

Justin does good work. Even though my case was especially clustered with the other side being a member of the good ole boys system ( small town corruption ) but he did fight for me and I did end up with my child 100% Bc of the death of the other party but I truly believe Justin worked for me and made... more progress than anyone else. I do recommend.

Thomas Family Law

Mr. Thomas was very professional and represented my interests with sincerity. He is very knowledgeable of the law and easy to talk to. He took the time to listen, and always returned my calls and emails in a timely fashion. I would suggest his services to any friends and family members that need ...legal assistance.

Impeccable, Awesome, Professional Lawyer & Staff

After 29 yrs.my wife and I felt we needed to move in a different direction. We get along well, so I needed a divorce that was quick and stress-free! Thanks to AVVO website that rates the best lawyers in Memphis, I chose Justin T. From his reviews, he's a younger lawyer that I felt would be more aggre...ssive and move quicker on my case! And he was! We had time frame we were pushing for and he and his staff took care of my wishes with no problems!!! Very HAPPY and pleased with his and his staffs professionalism and promptness on my case! Would recommend him to anyone! Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Justin Thomas is a fantastic lawyer. Responsive, caring and efficient.

The team at Thomas Family Law firm is simply incredible. If you are reading this review and shopping around for a lawyer to deal with your custody case please do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with Justin Thomas. When I first met with Justin to have my initial consultation it was, ...unfortunately for me, the third time in my life that I found myself in need of a lawyer to deal with my ex-wife. Although the previous two lawyers I had worked with were adequate (and I "won" both cases) I still felt that I could have received better advice, incurred less costs and frankly received better service. Needless to say when I met with Justin Thomas the first time I was (based on past experience) wary and had the opinion that separating me from my money was the main focus of a lawyer's work. Long story short, Justin listened to me as I outlined my case and he made a clear outline of what the future held for me. Everything came to pass exactly as he predicted and within the costs that he predicted. It is important to note that Justin did not tell me what I wanted to hear. Instead, he gave me the good and the bad in simple, concrete terms. It was refreshing to hear a lawyer speak truthfully to me for the first time in my life. I could tell that Justin is a family man and this shows in how he approaches his work. Lastly, I cannot say enough good things about the response times that I received from Justin, Nic and Heather. Simply incredible. Justin is a man of his word. If he promises you a response, he will keep that promise. Not once in the course of time with Thomas Law firm did I get empty apologies that "something came up" and "I couldn't get back with you." If Justin says something, he means it. If only the court system was as responsive! I'll say it again, do yourself and your family a favor and hire the Thomas Law Firm.

Great Attorney

Mr. Thomas represented my wife and I was very happy to see my wife get a new attorney. He was a bulldog and made a mountain out of a molehill for her. I was impressed with his knowledge and ability to take what little he had to work with and make gold from straw.

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.
