Posted by anonymous | August 01, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

He will put your mind at ease

I retained Tom just to do a simple expungement. It was something I could have, and contemplated, doing myself. However I decided to pay and have someone take care of it for me. I was referred to Tom and gave him a call. From our initial phone conversation, to the end of the process, Tom made me f...eel like I was his only and most important client (even though I know I was low on his list of priorities). He kept in constant, quick, communication with me and answered all of my questions along the way. Highly recommend.

Great from start to finish

Greatest experience I've ever had as far as an attorney goes. Extremely knowledgable w all facets of exteremely complex cases. Saved me thousands and a ton of time!!

Posted by anonymous | May 20, 2009 | Divorce & Separation

Well worth every cent

went through an ugly divorce, Tom was thier the whole 2 years of court. He also won an EOP that my ex-wife had filed on me. Not to many judges side with the male on those cases. So I would say I would use him again and recomend him to my friends anytime.

Posted by Richard | February 23, 2009 | Criminal Defense

Aggressive, excellent representation

Mr. Siegel is an aggressive, thorough attorney with specialized experience in criminal law, bankruptcy and collection practice. He goes the extra mile to provide excellent representation for his clients. I would highly recommend Mr. Siegel.

"I have had the pleasure of attending law school with Tom and can say without hesitation that he was truly one of the brightest and most hard-working individuals I have ever known. It was evident then that Tom would enjoy great success as an attorney, and specifically as a litigator. Since that time, I have trusted and relied upon Tom's advice and knowledge in my own practice. Quite simply, I can think of no other attorney whom I rely upon or trust more when I have needed or sought advice during my time as an attorney."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
