About Tommy
Biography
"Having been involved in a catastrophic car wreck only a few years ago, I know exactly what's it like to be laid up in a hospital for days, not be able to work or do normal daily activities for months at a time, and stuck wondering how you'll pay for a new car or your medical bills. I know the aggravation and frustration that my clients have because they can't drive, have to go to treatment, or simply hate waking up in the morning b/c they're sore. It's because of this first-hand knowledge that I am able to relate to my clients on a personal level, represent them so well, and get them the results that they deserve. That is what motivates me to go to work everyday and fight for my clients against big insurance companies designed to take advantage of normal, everyday, hardworking people."
Tommy has now lived in the New Orleans area for over a decade and has embraced the city as his home along with his beautiful wife, Amanda, and their sons, Tommy Jr., Brody, and Cash. Tommy is a diehard sports fan, avid UNC basketball supporter, and season ticket holder for both the Saints and Pelicans. When not in the office, he thoroughly enjoys sneakers, 80s music, bandanas, lawyer TV shows, and all-inclusive vacations. He also considers himself an “expert fisherman in training” and often travels back home for fishing trips with friends and family during his days off.

Honest
I got a ticket so I spoke with Tommy. He could have been like most lawyers and took my money and nothing would have happened but instead Tommy was honest and told me I couldn't fight this. It's hard to find an honest hard working lawyer like Tommy. I know if I really need a lawyer I want someone I ca...

Professional and very clear with communication
I first approached Tommy after my accident earlier this year. The whole situation was very stressful, that was until Tommy walked me through and took charge. He's very good with communication which is imperative with a lawyer. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to make their situation better.
