Exceptional Attorney with Proven Expertise

Tom truly went above and beyond in helping me navigate a challenging and complex legal situation. His extensive experience and deep understanding of the law were evident throughout the process, and I am incredibly grateful to have had him in my corner. Tom's expertise and dedication ultimately guided... us to a successful resolution. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and reliable attorney.

Meeting

I sat down and with Mr Crane, He was very professional, did not feel my case was within the time frame. Though he did not deny I had a possible case. So he informed me like a doctor to get a second d opinion. I took that sound advice and now have an amazing attorney committed to the truth . I fe...lt the information, caused the rejection not the truth or the merit of my case.

Best Available for Employment Law

Mr. Crane was exceptionally thorough and professional during my case. I was referred to him by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Texas. I highly recommend him to anyone who has experienced legal difficulties with his or her employer. Tom sets the bar with a standard of excell...ence.

HB

If you have a disability discrimination case, Mr. Crane is the attorney to represent your case. He is very knowledge with ADAAA laws. I found him to be very caring , detail orientated and willing to listen to my concerns.

  • 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.
