Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Tom helped me learn the ropes when I was new to the practice of law. He is still one of the attorneys I turn to when I have questions and I have happily referred several potential clients to him. Tom's experience makes him one of the best lawyers in Texas and he enriches the criminal defense bar by taking the time to pass on that knowledge to younger lawyers. Any client would be lucky to have him handle their case."
