Experience with Tom Koustmer

Tom represented me for an alcohol-related traffic offense. Tom was extremely professional during our initial meeting and presented me with several options about how to proceed with my case. We decided on a bench trial and Tom did a great job of preparing me and my witness for the trial. Tom did a ...great job during the trial and I was ultimately found not guilty. In addition, Tom assisted me in having my records sealed. As part of the process, Tom conducted independent research to present to the court and accompanied me to the courthouse. Overall, Tom did an outstanding job representing me and I would recommend hiring Tom for any similar cases.

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.
