This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great Atttorney

Thomas E. Bush was my attorney after social security turned me down for the second time. I was about to give up but after my research on attorney's decided to go with the Bush firm. Needless to say, I was relieved when I was called and told that I had finally won my case and actually heard this staf...f , cheer for me in the background. It was a delight, doing business with an attorney that actually cared about his disabled clients.Thanks so much again, Patricia Gerard

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.
