Highly Recommend!!

Tom Toolis helped us through the purchase of our first home recently, and we couldn't have asked for a better representative. He was very efficient yet thorough and helped us every step of the way. Buying a new home for the first time can be extremely daunting, but Tom eased any anxieties we had with... his expertise, patience, and support. He's also very approachable and made us feel comfortable to come to him with anything we needed. Closing went very smoothly, and we are so happy in our new home now, thanks to Tom and his incredible staff! :)

Bankruptcy Chapter 7

Thanks to Tom and his team this is now behind me. I appreciate their diligent efforts to protect my rights. I have heard nightmare stories from acquaintances that have had other representation and was expecting my situation to be the same. Having gone through a business failure, where I had substa...ntial financial exposure, combined with a divorce, I expected the worst. From the first meeting, I was assured that someone is there for me. My emails or calls were promptly answered and the outcome was better than I expected!! THANKS!!

Real Estate Closing

Tom came highly recommended by my father who has also used him for a real estate deals. I did not actually go to the closing but there was a hold up at closing because of the buyer trying to get yet another credit. Thankfully Tom was amazing and simply told the buyer another credit wasnt happening. T...his allowed for the closing to go through and not have to be delayed till the following week. Also would like to mention his paralegal Nancy was beyond sweet and helpful as well through this process. The team kept me updated and were prompt with responding to my emails.

My Bankruptcy Attorney

Mr. Toolis represented me in a bankruptcy and in a fair debt collection case. Not only did he get a creditor to pay for my bankruptcy, he also got $1,000.00 for me. Everything went exactly as he said it would. He is now my personal attorney, i will use him for anything legal in the future. He was... hard to get ahold of by phone but I could always reach him by email.

  • 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.
