Very Helpful

Tom Naughton was very helpful in my 3 tickets in court. He explained to me why I should not plead guilty at arraignment and was very informative during my phone call consultation. All 3 tickets were dismissed. I would highly recommended him.

Great attorney, hired him for a speeding traffic violation. He accomplished to grant me with the minimum conviction on my CDL. I am a very satisfied client and certainly will hire him if ever needed again.

I previously wrote a review on Mr. Naughton untitled "money hungry" I would like to retract that entire review and say that Tom is a great lawyer who cares and always shows up. He wants what's best for his clients and is genuine. I am grateful I had the honor of having him represent me. I highly feel he has helped my life for the better and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a good lawyer.

Calmed and Reassured

Tom was a saving grace during a very difficult time in my life. I had never found myself in any legal trouble and was referred to Tom by a friend. After the first meeting with Tom I instantly felt calmed and reassured that I was in good hands and my faith was solidified with the result of my case. I highly recommend him to any future clients.

BEST ATTORNEY EVER!!

Mr. Thomas Naughton represented me recently on a traffic matter. He was very professional and time efficient. He was very confident in handling my case. I believe I received the best outcome possible.

Posted by Tim | May 6, 2015

Working through it..

I have recently retained Thomas for a traffic violation. He is friendly and personable, with a diverse back ground. The first court appearance seemed to go well. I will update this post as the process progresses but as for now I haven't had a bad experience

Posted by Dave | July 21, 2016

Still Waiting.....

People I work with have used him for WC, carpal tunnel etc..I went to him for this plus another injury (2). Told him i was referred from people who used him. He called and told me I was denied, usually do this, he stated we will appeal and move on. He never asked for money, went a year waiting for him, still going to Drs and being treated. I called, left message, no return call. I finally spoke with Naughton, He was rude, firm, bold, and not nice. Said he would call back since he screwed up, Nothing, seems useless, everyone else got 40-65k for the injury, I had 2 and he dragged his feet and now I go through reg insurance and received nothing , I Do Not Recommend him or his staff. Thank You
