Exceptional Lawyer!

From the very start, this law firm was professional, supportive and dedicated to my case. Calls were returned promptly with courtesy and professionalism. Tom and Sandy showed individualized attention to my case. Tom handled the hearing himself and knew all of the details of my case. The support and k...nowledge he provided during this process was invaluable. Would highly recommend!

Very knowledgeable

Attorney Thomas Durkin answered all of my questions and offered suggestions to me that I had know idea I could consider. He is a very knowledgeable lawyer and I’m sure he gets results for his clients. I would highly recommend him. His assistant Sandy was very pleasant setting up my appointment and an...swered some of my questions as well. I would not go anywhere else for the services this firm provides.

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.
