Family Lawyer

Tom has been a great resource as our family lawyer. He has guided us through difficult topics such as drafting a will and all the implications and tough discussions that are required to complete that process properly. He handled it with grace and compassion without diluting the core subjects that req...uired attention to complete. Tom has also handled our property transactions and closings. He has been able to provide us with enough information so we felt comfortable with the path we were on while keeping us aware of any potential mishaps that could occur. In our last transactions we ended up running into some issues but due to the preparation we were in a productive space to move forward and handle the situation professionally and promptly. I utilize Toms services across all major legal areas concerning my family's well being and security and have yet to be disappointed in the quality or results he has produced. I recommend Tom Tozer as a strong option for a qualified and effective legal representative for anyone needing legal services.

Highly Recommend

My first experience with Tom Tozer was a great one. Tom made me comfortable in a very difficult situation. He was always available to answer any questions no matter how trivial. I appreciate that he is always easy to contact. We have now used his expertise in several situations and he has proved ...to be competent in many areas.

Tozer Law Review

My partner and I were very lucky to have Mr. Tom Tozer as our legal counsel while purchasing our first home. Tom is very knowledgeable regarding real estate law. He has the unique ability to breakdown complicated legal issues to simple and understandable advice for his clients. Tom was always quick t...o respond to phone calls and emails. I would highly recommend Tom to all those seeking legal counsel.

Consistent Value

I highly recommend Tom! As an active real estate investor, I appreciate Tom's consistent value as my legal "partner" helping me navigate through the details surrounding several deals. He is very responsive and has a wealth of knowledge. Invaluable!

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.
