Thomas John Viner

Hire Tom Viner. He was extremely smart, compassionate, and professional through every development in the process. It is obvious Tom lives and breathes family law and has a genuine passion for his profession. Plus working with Tom also means working with Cassandra, Paralegal Extraordinaire, whose know...ledge, professionalism, and response time are off the charts! I try to channel her steady email tone and saavvy responses in my own day to day communications now. I am not exaggerating. In a very emotional, difficult situation Tom provided steady expertise and honest expectations- no grandstanding, no false hope, just honest, forthright communication and expert strategy. I came away with a result I was very happy with, knowing I hired the best team I could have. Hire them. This is the team you want in your corner.

I found myself in an unfortunate situation after attending a concert in Cedar Rapids where I was charged with simple marijuana possession. Simple is what I thought not being from Iowa or knowing their incredibly tough cannabis laws. Everything from my career to my freedom were on the line and Mr. V...iner truly took it seriously and provided me an outcome from the court that couldn't be any better. What makes this attorney special in my book isn't that he just did his job for me, and did it well. It was AFTER the fact - years later I found myself going through some extensive background checks to become a licensed cannabis business in Colorado. Due to the late 2000s floods my paperwork had been destroyed at the court house and my records had been expunged from the Iowa computer systems. When Colorado ran my background however the FBI was able to see my jailing record from Cedar Rapids. The State of CO required some kind of hard copy proof that my case had been taken care of and was truly expunged from my record. Mr. Viner and his firm to the rescue! The firm had my records preserved in their off-site storage and were able to send documents to the state on my behalf in about 20 minutes- I was issued my license as a result. So - after that long-winded story I hope you will do some research on your needs for an attorney. I believe anyone hiring Mr. Viner or his firm will be in extraordinarily capable and caring hands.

My case involved a custody settlement. My case was particularly unusual in that my Ex and I divorced in NC, never had a court filed document pertaining to custody or child support, and then we both moved to different states (he to Texas and me to Iowa). I had met or worked with 5 different attorneys ...prior to Tom, all of which were unpleasant experiences. I read Tom’s reviews and decided I wanted him to represent me. I had an excellent experience with Tom. Tom and Cassandra were incredibly responsive, helpful, forward, efficient, and fair. I don’t think I ever waited more than a day to hear back from them or receive a document/proposal. Tom always made himself available when I needed to speak with him (that day, not days later). They clearly strive to provide exceptional service to every client. I also didn’t have to pay an arm and a leg either. I highly recommend Tom and Cassandra if you want someone who will always be there to answer questions and accomplish things quickly and effectively!

Had a custody case with sons father whom had been absent for many years. He petitioned me into court wanting visitation in another state. I panicked but Tom remained my peace. He took control over a difficult situation and we came out victorious. Him and his team are amazing. They put the client firs...t and are readily available at all times. Questions are answered promptly and with full attention to detail. They tell you the ugly truth and also the beautiful truth. They are all amazing!!!!

I came to Tom out of desperation to get my children back. My soon to be ex-husband took them from school one day and moved out of town filing a no contact the same day only because we had moved out and he wanted the children. The first lawyer I hired had my case so messed up and if I wouldn’t have be...en referred to Tom I truly believe I would not have my children back in my care today. When I first met him for the free consultation he spent 2 hours talking to me and giving me free advice he did not have to give before I hired him. I feel his pricing is very fair and he has an excellent paralegal, Cassandra, to cut the cost down. Anytime I contacted her she was very quick to respond with any questions I had. I highly recommend Viner Law Firm.
