Customer Excellence with Compassion

Tom Durkin and his assistant Sharon Adel provided great care and precision with my case. Both took time to put me at ease about my case and were very thorough with presentation prior to and at court.

Very Pleased

Tom Durkin represented me in a Social Security Disability case. Tom and his staff were professional and dedication to a tough case. Great advice and caring people on his staff. We won my case and I would strongly recommended Tom Durkin.

Him and his staff are 100% the best in the area

During my ongoing case for 3 years I have never been brushed off once when I had a question or concern. I either got his assistant to get back to me right away with the information or if she could not provide it, she would set up a conference call or meeting with Mr. Durkin to get my questions answer...ed. In filling out forms for reimbursement, his assistant took care of that and was always making sure I got my reimbursement checks. If I didn't she was on it. And if they didn't respond to her they responded to Mr. Durkin's strongly worded email. I have to say, you really need to go with a lawyer that has an amazing and knowledgeable assistant and a team of amazing staff. It makes all the difference than going with an independent lawyer that has no one else in the office. I couldn't ask for anything more stress free than this experience and it was very welcome during such a horrific time. Thank you for everything!!

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.
