Review Thomas Gonwa

My Experience - Pleasant in a Not So Pleasant Situation

Posted by

Tom is incredibly down to earth and truly genuine. I was rear-ended and had lots of bills to take care of with the ambulance, car repair, ER visit so on and so forth. Tom helped me to stay calm and to not stress about all of the bills that kept showing up in my mailbox (I was a mess)! He was incredibly thorough and efficient with every aspect of getting my case taken care of in a timely manner. He made me feel comfortable asking any questions that I had (and I always have a ton of them) and welcomed my questions, he took his time explaining and answering them. I always felt as though I was in good hands and confident that he always had my best interest in mind.

I was in a serious car crash in May. I had hosipital and dr bills that needed to be taken care of. I was not in shape to deal with the insurance and dr bills. I hired Tom and he handled all the bills and insurance people so that I did not have to worry about any of it. All the bills are now taken care of, my car was replaced and I ended up with my lost pay and losses taken care of. Tom and his staff took all the worry from me and got me back in good shape now.

Mr. Gonwa provided high quality work in my case: tireless dedication and fine professionalism, always showing empathy and consideration. He was creative in finding solutions and case updates were always on time. He is pleasant and always ready. He has a hands-on approach and will never leave you hanging. He is a professional you can count on and trust.

Wonderful

He was down to earth and easy to talk to, when I had questions or stopped in the office he would take the time to stop what he was doing and discuss any concerns I had. I will definitely utilize him in the future.

Helping my dad

My father was involve in a car accident (though no fault of his own), and Tom help us get justice from the responsible party for the loss of personal property and personal injuries he sustained! Tom did an excellent job in explaining our options and helping us recover our damages.

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!

I have known Tom for over 15 years and could not provide a higher recommendation for an attorney. Tom takes the time to get to know his clients, and helps his clients through the challenges they face. Tom is smart, experienced, and creative in achieving favorable outcomes. I've seen first-hand Tom obtain impressive results on his cases.
