I Need More Stars!!!!

Words cannot begin to express how grateful I am for Brandon Thomson.  My father passed away unexpectedly, and as the personal representative, I was left to pick up the pieces of the estate. Brandon was empathetic, patient, and took the time to walk me through each step of the process.  I am so lucky ...Brandon was on my team during one of the worst moments of my life, and I cannot thank him enough.

Great advice!

I spoke with Brandon regarding a problem I was having with my mother's Social Security/Medicare. He did an excellent job explaining the various items and how I could fix them. He took his time and explained slow enough so I could write it down as I had a stroke a few years ago and talking on the ph...one is very difficult. Brandon was very thorough and kind. I highly recommend him!!

Grateful to know Mr. Thomson

Mr. Thomson was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when I felt lost and didn’t know what to do and where to go. Mr. Thomson made everything very easy and understandable, he is very kind, loyal and patient, and his calm and empathetic demeanor offered the emotional support me and my children n...eeded. My family and I are eternally grateful for his service and I would highly recommend Mr.Brandon without any reservations.

Highly Recommended

Brandon did a phenomenal job of walking our family through the Medicaid process when my father had to be placed in a nursing home. He educated us and through his services the court ruled that my mother could keep all of the assets that my parents worked hard all their lives to earn. Overall he saved ...my parents tens of thousands of dollars and allowed my mother to continue to live in the manner that she lived prior to my dad going into the nursing home.

Based on the skills and knowledge I observed in law school Brandon is well equipped to handle any legal issue a client may have. I highly recommend Brandon as an attorney because of the many interactions we had in law school, all of which were positive."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I attended law school with attorney Thomson and he was easily among the brightest and most dedicated students in our class. I have also seen Attorney Thomson work with members of the community and can unequivocally state that his 'bedside manner' is unmatched. Attorney Thomson makes painstaking efforts, and spends the necessary time, with each client that walks through his door, to make sure that he can find the exact right solution for them. There are other very bright attorneys out there, and there are other attorneys who are dedicated to providing excellent service to their clients, but it is exceedingly rare to find an attorney who is both as bright and as dedicated as Attorney Thomson. If a close friend, family member, or loved one came to me for help with any legal issue that Attorney Thomson handles, I would refer them to him without hesitation."

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.
