Met with Tom and he was incredibly prepared to consult on my case after only an email and setting the appointment a day prior. Tom spoke with energy and enthusiasm but was straightforward and did not lead me to believe in any exaggerated sense of overconfidence. I felt comfortable and immediately knew that Tom and the team of attorneys at their firm were the ones I wanted to associate with.
