Biography
In my practice I seek to provide personal service and friendly advice and excellent service. I try to treat each client the way I would like to be treated if I were the client instead of the attorney. If you hire me to help you, I promise to give you my best advice for your situation in an honest and diligent manner.
As a licensed attorney in Wisconsin and Minnesota, I am happy to assist you with your legal needs, with a particular focus on estate planning including wills, trusts, power of attorney documents, prenuptial agreements, business formation, contract review, business counseling, tax advice, and related matters. From my physical office in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, I provide estate planning and business law advice to clients in cities and towns all across Wisconsin. I offer flat fee pricing on many estate planning and business law services. No matter where you are located in Wisconsin, I look forward to working with you.

Attorney review
Thomas is an excellent attorney and I would highly recommend him. He is working with me to settle my Father's Estate. He also updated my will. He is very knowledgeable, thorough and efficient and has a very fast turn around time.
