Big payday, thanks TJ

I called Tj about my accident. He helped take care of the medical situation and dealt with the insurance company. I think my settlement is three times what it would be without Tj. Took a long time, but worth the wait. He's a good man. I would definitely call him again if I needed any legal help.

"I have had the privilege of knowing and working in the same building as T.J. for most of my seventeen years of practicing law. T.J. has always impressed me with his knowledge, dedication, integrity and professionalism. Although we practice in different areas, it is an asset having such a well respected and talented lawyer in the personal injury realm down the hall from me, and I’m always grateful for his skillful advice and aid."

"I have known TJ for about fifteen years. My practice focuses primarily on business and commercial matters. However, TJ has been a valuable and experienced resource for me in those situations where a client has questions involving a personal injury claim or other tort issues. TJ is at the top of the list when it is necessary for me to make a client referral of these types of cases. My professional opinion is that while TJ is very visible (as are many members of the "plaintiff's bar"), he also has the substance and intellect required to really meet the needs of his clients. He has my highest endorsement."

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.
