Outstanding

Thomas Urquidez provided a very helpful consultation that was very honest and straightforward. He has compassion, integrity, and great expertise.

The most honest attorney in Dallas

Full disclosure - this is the first time I’ve ever felt the need to write an online review. If you’re like me, odds are you’ll hopefully never need an attorney (knock on wood). But if for whatever reason you do, meet with Mr. Urquidez. He’s honest, trustworthy, puts the client’s interests first, i...s accommodative to your schedule, and just overall easy to work with. He’s also a great listener who understands the legal issues at play when you may not know exactly how to articulate the things you need to clarify when speaking to an attorney. You won’t regret making him your first phone call if you need an attorney.

Upfront and trustworthy.

I found Mr. Urquidez to be very knowledgable and always ready to answer my questions. His confidence in handling my case helped to relieve the anxiety I was feeling with this being my first time needing to hire a lawyer. His attention to detail and knowledge of my case and the law helped to bring a s...wift resolution to what could have been a very lengthy and ugly battle.

Excellent Representation Lawyer

Mr. Urquidez is very professional, confidential, knowledgeable and a thorough attorney. His knowledge of the law and process to get the best outcome possible is truly outstanding. At any time he was happy to answer any questions I had, which also helped lessen my anxiety with my case. My case ended... with a judgement in my favor and I thank him for his attention to detail and getting the best possible outcome.

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.
