This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Service!

Tom has been my lawyer for many years and is always compassionate and timely with his representation. Tom recently helped my husband and I with resolving a complex case, he was diligent in getting the issue resolved for us. He did not hesitate to help us when we were struggling and did an excellent j...ob representing us. We highly recommend him as he has never let us down and does fantastic work.

Does a great job for his clients

Mr. Carnes did a great job on my case after two other lawyers told me they couldn't help me. He was up-front about what he could do for me, and charged me a reasonable fee.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2012.

Suspension Stayed issued in IL, 2012

updated on 01/23/2013

This type of suspension means the attorney has been suspended, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with certain requirements.

Reprimand issued in IL, 2006

updated on 03/14/2010

Reprimand means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a public reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
