Quality Family Law attorney

Tom initially represented me approximately seven years ago, during a challenging divorce proceeding. He had been asked to sub for my attorney in a hearing regarding custodial rights. Tom spent some time gaining a good understanding of the situation prior to entering the court room. He was straightfo...rward and tactful in his presentation. Seven years later I contacted him again, to assist in a like environment. He once again acted in the same manner.

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.
