You couldn’t find a more compassionate attorney

Excellent
Mr. Thomas is an excellent lawyer. I went in for a child support/custody case. He sat down and explained to me what he though should be done, before I made the decision to hire him. He will work with you. Also, he keeps in contact with you to make sure that you're updated on everything!
