Thomas John Viner

I hired Tom Viner for a 1st time owi,pcs,pdp because he indicated that he would move to get urine test thrown out. the officer made numerous mistakes. Tom never discussed with me after that or tried to get this thrown out he in my observation did nothing but fill out forms. infact the state came to ...us before appearance in court with a plea bargin to plea guilty on possesion of controlled substance and they would dismiss owi. tom wanted me to plea guilty on a charge that I was not guilty of. this was hemp flower undder the iowa farm bill this was perfectly legal to have I also have a medical marijuana card and am disabled. I was never intoxicated not even a little bit. I blew zero for alchohol twice and at the station. I was driving fine. pulled over for taillilte out and told the officer openly right away that i had all of this as I was perfectly legal. tom never follows up with me updates. Conner the law clerk I ask for him to resend information to me as i could not find my copy he starts yelling at me unprofessionally and refuses to send it and just says you have it. well i would not be asking for it if i could find it. he hung up on me. tom also was 1 hour late to my court set date and time witch does not help the case already pissed off DA. Tom had no idea of what the hemp law is and admitted to me when he said "what is that". two days before another court set date 1-1/2 hour away I called to confirm everything is on for it conner said yes be there. then 3 hours before I had already drove over there earlier and got a call from tom that we wont need to go he filed a 30 day extension. nothing like waiting till the last minute to do this tom also a waste of my time. tom is the most expensive lawyer I have ever had in my lifetime and the worst lawyer I have ever had in my life. Based on my experience DO NOT GO TO TOM VINER LAW OFFICE!!! they did not do what they said they would. I am 62 years old I rarely drink I blew zero twice the state put me on disability, the state issued me a medical marijuana card, the state issued me a drivers license, the state never asked me to turn in my license upon getting a mmc card, the state says I was owi even if you in no way are intoxicated and have not been intoxicated for two weeks. the state says you are owi 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year. the state has tremendously contradics themself here. thc is in your body all the time even if you are not in anyway intoxicated or impaired in anyway. I was mistreated in many ways not only with Tom and conner but also the state. Their "dismissed charges" got me one night in jail, bullied by a police officer, loss of licence for 6 months, probation for 1 year, probation officer assigned to me to report to, a lifelock ignition device for liquor that did not even play into the charges, several hundred dollars in fines, several hundred dollars to the DOT several hundred dollars to retired cops paid to lifelock ignition, this is my first offence on anything I have no prior record I have had no traffic or moving violations in over 5 years. I am a retired buisnesman on disability that was doing nothing against the law except a tail lite out. WOW YOU DECIDE BUT ASK ME DO NOT HIRE TOM VINER OR EVEN THINK ABOUT IT

Two weeks ago a friend was in Cedar Rapids and was arrested. She reached out to me, a 1000 miles away and so based on a bail bonds man's recommendation I contacted Tom Viner. For a reasonable fee, with friendliness and professionalism, he got everything squared away with no long term legal complica...tions in less than a week. If you have a problem and need it taken care of he is the man!

I got a DWI for the first time and was going through every emotion imaginable out of fear. From the moment I met Tom he made me feel at ease. He fought for me and always kept me up to date on what was going on with my case. He spoke to me with confidence but at the same time didn't patronize me or tr...y to pander to get my business, he was straight up front with me from the get go. He is very trustworthy and honest, while at the same time makes you feel like you're in good hands. He ensured me that as long as I do my part (classes, and showing up for court) he will get me the best deal possible. He delivered and then some, getting me an amazing deal while making the entire process a breeze. If you are looking for a lawyer, there is no need to look any further! Tom is a champion! I have complete trust he'll get the job done.
