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.

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.

Justin salvaged a near impossible situation in my son's dissolution.

When our son was served with divorce papers, we asked for a Memphis family law specialist suggestion from our local attorney in the Pacific Northwest. That office in Memphis took our retainer and did little or nothing, resulting in a severe and outrageous judgement as our son was essentially unrepre...sented. Enter Justin Thomas. As our son was on the U of M faculty, he then asked for recommendations from the Law School. Justin untangled the mess, obtained a fair and equitable family support plan as well as a reasonable visitation schedule. Parents that have gone through the angst of possibly never getting to know their grandchildren will appreciate the value of expert representation we obtained from Justin Thomas. He is fair, honest, realistic, and most compassionate. He did not waste our money and knew when to fight and when to negotiate He and his staff are highly accessible and communication is one of their attributes. He accounted for every penny and at the end of the day promptly returned the unused funds. Handling a legally complex issue is not easy even when both parties are in the same city. When one of the parties lives half a continent away, it becomes nearly impossible. Justin saved our family integrity. His expert and caring professionalism again and again got us through this terrible time for our family. The value of his time is exceptional. We take great comfort in knowing he'll be there again if we need him. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Wonderful attorney!! Wonderful staff!!!

Justin and Heather are a great team!! Justin represented me after the divorce was finalized and fixed what the original attorney told me was set in stone! Everything we asked for, we received. From both the court and the staff. It has been almost 2 yrs and I can still contact them for anything I ne...ed and they are ALWAYS more than willing to help! I recommend Justin and his staff as much as possible. There is no way I would ever use anyone else!! His support staff is always very helpful! Anytime I needed anything Heather was always there if Justin was unavailable. Child custody situations are very stressful and emotional times, Justin never loses his cool and that's definitely what you need during those trying times! And Heather is very attentive and caring!! Great team to have on your side!

Honest and respected attorney

Justin Thomas represented me in a divorce and I was very pleased with his work ethic and representation. He was extremely professional and cared about what was in the best interest of me and my son. He kept the cost of the divorce to a minimum, which was great! I believe he provided excellent represe...ntation and honestly cared about me, the outcome of my divorce, and most importantly, my time with my son. I have recommended Mr. Thomas to several friends and will continue to do so.
