Thomas E. McElyea

To avoid any privacy issues with my family I will leave it simple something terrible happened to my minor child at a grocery store and she went looking for an item that may have been in back stock needless to Say she was sexually assaulted by an employee of that store I immediately contacted Thomas ...McElyea's office on a weekend might I add, And he returned my call within the hour and came in on the weekend his days off to take on our case and he has been absolutely wonderful he keeps in close contact with us on every step of the way and is very caring and aggressive and understands how important this means to my family I know that he will seek Justice for us and he has done so this far he is amazing I will definitely refer him to anyone I know!

Mr. McElyea was hired my mother to represent her in a personal injury case against a large trucking business. He kept us well informed as the case moved slowly due to the injuries she received in an accident with an eighteen wheel truck driver. My mother's age (85 years old) was a factor in the heali...ng process. Mr. McElyea was extremely professional in his representation of my mother and with his interactions with the trucking firm. My mother was very pleased with his friendly attitude and the results he achieved.

Tom McElyea represented me in a sexual harassment/assault case. From the moment we spoke on the phone, Tom was attentive, sympathetic and on top of my case - asking for all the details and taking note. He was incredibly quick to advise & respond, and every time I reached out, I heard back from him ...within hours. He was intuitive to sense my distress and would often help calm my nerves when certain issues arose with my case. He was assertive and unyeilding to the defendants and their lawyer when I felt weak and uncertain, which made me witness just how hard he was going to fight on my behalf. Mr. McElyea was very matter-of-fact, which I sincerely appreciated and desperately needed. He is definitely a "no-fluff" kind of lawyer - I always had a very realistic understanding of what I could expect, the possibilities of my case (both good and negative) and even an understanding of what the defendant's moves meant. When we ended up entering a settlement agreement, Mr. McElyea was able to secure much more than I originally anticipated, exceeding my expectations. My family, friends, and I are forever grateful to Mr. McElyea. Heaven forbid I should ever need his services again, however, it is truly comforting to know I have him in my corner should another situation arise. I will certainly be referring his services with confidence to anyone I encounter who has experienced abuse/harassment against them, knowing with full confidence they are in good hands. Thank you, Tom, for paving the way for my family, friends and I to close one awful chapter in our lives with justice and peace.

Our family hired Tom after many struggles trying to get custody of my step-daughter. Not only were we living out of state, but the situation had become very time sensitive. Tom immediately went to work on our case. He was knowledgeable, flexible, communicated with us every step of the way, and was ve...ry reassuring. Our situation was extremely complicated, but Tom was persistent and worked aggressively on my husband’s behalf. Thanks to Tom’s relentless efforts, we were finally granted sole custody. He is a true professional who isn’t afraid of a challenge and doesn’t back down. I highly recommend him to everyone.

We were so blessed that we found Tom when we found ourselves in a difficult case of a personal nature. Tom was so professional, passionate, and a true champion for us. He made us feel like our case mattered when other attorneys left us with the impression it wasn't worth pursuing. Tom never appear...ed to be about the money but about justice. He took a no-nonsense approach, communicated frequently and always responded quickly using his knowledge and experience to get an outcome better than what we ever could have anticipated. Tom always kept us up to date on all communications, making himself available for any questions and concerns. We never had to worry about not being in the loop or getting ahold of him. Along the way, he never rushed us through the emotional journey we were on. He was a counselor and friend during this time offering constant reassurance that we were doing the right thing. But more importantly he was relentless in his pursuit of justice. Thank you Tom for all you have done for us. We will happily recommend you to our close friends and family.
