I got to work with Tom and Jamal when our parents got into a tragic vehicle accident in Texas. The first law firm I contracted out to referred the case to Tom's law firm saying they are one of the best in Texas helping shattered families like ours get their life back. Throughout the daunting four years of the lawsuit, Tom and his team never failed to show the highest level of professionalism towards our family.
They are a renowned group of professionals not only in the field of law, but they are highly experienced with helping helpless families as they know exactly what you are going through. Their team made sure the lawsuit was being taken care of so that we could just focus on my Dad's recovery. We most certainly never have made it this far with out them, and would have never gotten the settlement we deserve if it wasn't for Tom and Jamal carrying us through the whole process. And for that we want to sincerely thank Tom, Jamal, and their team for getting our life back.

He helped us during a stressful time
We had no idea what to do when we found out we needed to file a tort claim and started looking for a lawyer. It turned out there weren't a lot of attorneys who handled these types of cases so we were very lucky to have found Tom and his firm.
We were already under a lot of stress dealing with the unexpected and unnecessary death of a family member and it was nice to be able to have someone handling the legal issues for us.

Outstanding Attorney
In 2010 my husband Michael, a war time veteran, suffered a severe brain-stem stroke leaving him completely paralyzed and mute. While having to wade through paperwork and obstacles of the VA medical system I found myself overwhelmed and reached out to Jamal Alsaffar seeking help in getting my husband the care he was entitled to and deserved. Jamal along with his associate Tom Jacob came to our aid like the cavalry. After carefully reviewing Michael’s medical records, Jamal and Tom along with their legal team and medical experts discovered that his stroke was preventable had his doctors given him proper care. Throughout the lengthy legal process Jamal and Tom were always just a call away. Always available and ready to answer any questions or concerns no matter how small. It is because of their experience, dedication and knowledge that we were able to win the lawsuit brought against the VA on Michael’s behalf. Even after the court process had concluded Jamal and Tom facilitated the establishment of trusts to assure Michael has the best care available to him for the rest of his life. I will never be able to express my gratitude fully for everything that Jamal, Tom and the rest of the team have done for us as a family. I believe it is because of their true heartfelt compassion and concern combined with their extensive knowledge of the legal system that we are able to now focus on what is important – spending time together as a family.
