Compassionate, Gracious, Professional, and Proficient

I was extremely satisfied with Attorney Wesley-Thomas. I would recommend her services. I have used this attorney on several occasions and was successful. She was very helpful, understanding, attentive and dependable. She was honest and forthcoming, and reviewed and offered options.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Competent,Professional and Nice

Firstly, she helped me greatly when I became a widow. Ms. Thomas has handled 3 cases for me and all of the cases were solved in my favor. She is very easy to talk to. She carefully explained to me my situation in layman terms and I appreciated the understanding. I sent a former coworker to her of...fice with a case but she did not have any money. Ms Thomas accepted a homemade sweet potato pie as compensation and she also won the case for Ms. Joseph.

Satisfied Client

I had a great experience with attorney Thomas and her staff! The thought of having to file for bankruptcy was scary for me but Mrs. Thomas and her staff were very helpful from start to finish. I definitely recommend this firm!

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.
