Calmed the crazy

Tom represented me in my divorce. It was very bitter but he kept it under control. There were some details in my case that I know made it difficult. But Tom and Christina were discrete and kept it from going crazy. After we settled the case, I decided I didn't want to abide by the geographic restrict...ion and that caused a huge blow up. Tom took care of it and now it has all calmed down. I am very happy.

Cool, Friendly, Smart

Tom handled my divorce case. I was referred to him by a friend. My husband had filed divorce on me and wanted to take my kids away even though he never helped with them. When I met Tom, he told me the first thing, "If nothing else, when you leave here today, you are going to understand the process an...d feel much more confident." I did. He tried to get an agreement for temporary orders but my husband's attorney kept saying that my ex was going to get full custody and make me pay child support. Tom went to the hearing and the judge said we could each side have 20 minutes. LOL!! Tom told the judge he only needed 11 minutes. He used just over 10 minutes. We got what we came to get on that day. After that, my husband and his attorney became much easier to work with and we settled our case fairly soon. Divorce is a tough time in a family's life. Tom is funny, smart, and he is really looking out for what he calls the "long game." He kept telling me to stop worrying about each and every day and focus on how this was going to work out 1 year, 2 years, 10 years from now. Now that we're done, I see that he was right. I would surely use him again and I will tell everyone I know that you just can't find a better firm to work with.

Settled My Case Quickly

My ex was mentally and sometimes physically abusing my children but lives two states away. I could not find a single attorney who would take my case. I found Mr. Daley on AVVO, called his office, and they set up an appointment right away. When we met, he told me I had a tough case and that it was lik...ely that my ex would pop the case to her home state as soon as we filed. But even with these warnings, I wanted to proceed. Within 10 days he had filed the paperwork, gotten an emergency order and a hearing set. On the date of the hearing, he convinced the other attorney to try to mediate the case and called a mediator (former judge) from the courthouse and set up mediation for 9:00 a.m. the very next day. We settled our case that morning and my kids are now living with me in Texas. He warned me that not all cases can be wrapped up so quickly. But before I met him, I didn't know that ANY could be!

Best Advice and Brilliant Attorney

Thomas James Daley has been helping me for over a year in so many ways I lost count many many months ago. His insight into family law is invaluable to me and will be to anyone who seeks his help or is blessed enough to receive it by chance. I look forward to hearing from Thomas when I have a legal q...uestion related to my family law matters and he's brought me so much peace of mind, courage to face very trying situations and insight that allows me to prepare for the worst, which unfortunately happens a lot with my case. He's never cold or condescending and I can tell he really cares about helping others, which is so very hard to find in this profession! I thank you Thomas from the bottom of my heart!

Child Support

Tom was a referral to me; of which I was in need of a lawyer who could understand and work with-in the messy area of child support. Tom and his team were able to dig thru my case file, understand the direction I needed to pursue and tackled the project with responsibility, timeliness and trust. Tom... was in court when needed and all of the necessary paperwork and negations were handled by him personally. While my case has now been completed, I would recommend Tom and his staff to anyone in need of any child support/divorce issues.
