Thank you Thomas Mendel!

I am very pleased with the counsel and the results I received working with Thomas Mendel and the Noland Law firm. When I went into the office I was treated with respect and was listened too. My case was organized carefully and all available solutions were explained to me. The results that came abo...ut from having The Noland Law firm represent me were excellent. I was awarded compensation in a timely manner and I am pleased with the results. I would recommend Thomas Mendel to anyone.

Review for Thomas Mendel

Thomas Medel is very prompt. He returns phone calls and emails quickly and is very available. In my case he was able to settle to an amount that was much less than what I thought, which was great for me!

I have defended many consumers against harassment from debt collectors and in court. Many times we are able to reduce or competently eliminate the debt.

Noland Law Firm - Tom Mendel

Tom has helped me numerous times with speeding and traffic violations and has always been very outgoing, resourceful and able to deliver results. I would and have recommended him to my friends and family when they need legal assistance.

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.
