Rather conservative

Not a 'vigorous advocate' in my experience at least. He accepted my case but essentially insisted that I just had to be put though the process of being charged despite the fact that I was nearly choked to death by the man who got me arrested for a self-defense bruise. Being practical is good, tellin...g clients they have to suck it up when it comes to injustice is not. I spent 6 hours in the hospital and couldn't take a bar exam the following week because my eyes were too badly swollen and the pain from one of my ribs being smashed into an entirely different shape was too great. Tom and his staff never attempted to take it seriously and failed twice to alert me of changes in court dates although that's practically the only thing I asked them to do after paying them. He's not too interested in representing anyone who thinks they might have been mistreated by police, which is an interesting position to take in 2020 to say the least.

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.
