This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Awesome lawyer. No idea what the bad reviewers are talking about. I had a completely different experience EVERYTIME with Tom!

Tom is incredibly knowledgeable and an all-around great guy who genuinely cares about the situations his clients are facing. He stays on top of everything and isn’t like many lawyers who use big words or make you feel like you have to watch every word you say. He even went out of his way to schedu...le our meeting for a Friday after I finished work so I wouldn’t have to miss any more work than necessary. His rates are more than fair, and once you work with him, you’ll understand why it’s a pleasure and privilege just to talk with him. He’s a fascinating guy with experience handling some wild cases — and succeeding. Tom will be my personal and business lawyer for life. He’s been around the block and knows the magistrates and judges well, which often gives our case a solid advantage. Trust me when I say: you don’t want any other lawyer!

He seemed to represent the other guy; little preparation

Actually wanted me to pay off someone who was faking having a contract with me, so they could get money out of me. He didn't seem to care that the person was trying to strong arm me into a relationship. "Maybe you'll learn your lesson." (T. Kraus) I feel like I paid him to represent the other guy.

Helpful, Thoughtful, Great at his job

I'm not sure what the previous review is saying. But Tom was the best lawyer. He went out of his way to help me even on weekends when I was in a bad situation. I'd recommend him to anyone.

the most careless Lawyer I could imagine

not only a careless lawyer but an awful person...I was introduced to him by "legal shield" ,he wasted my time for 2 weeks and finally told me things I already knew for 6 months...he failed to even review my papers which he had been committed to...he did not even let me know that when I needed to fi...le my evidences.....and I lost a case just because he wasted my valuable time seriously if you value your life stay away from him and of course the legal shield or prepaid system... I don't know how these people live with themselves or how they sleep at night, just stay away from them.if u r reading this review just get out of here...I wished some one would have told me.by the way I am a medical doctor and I know what I am saying.
