Thomas John Gonwa

Tom pocesses every good quality one would want in an attorney. He is hard-working, has great ethics and as a client one feels they are in good hands. As a baseball analogy I would say Tom is the man you want when the game is tied at the bottom of the 9th in the World Series. He will hit it out of ...the park for you! And that's a winner!

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.
