Professional, Honest, Trustworthy

I was fortunate to meet Tom over 19 years ago for an Auto Accident Claim. I have used him many times both personal (divorce/child custody) and professionally (Partnership agreements/Labor laws) over the course of 19 years. His consistent track record of uncompromising ethics instills confidence and t...rust. I highly recommend him to anyone I meet.

Litigation lawyer | Nov 16

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse Tom Overton and highly recommend him to individuals and organizations in need of competent, talented and thoughtful trial counsel. I have consulted with Tom on cases, referred matters to him, and I have worked as an expert witness on a case in which Tom was counsel of record. Tom is board certified civil trial lawyer. He is recognized in the Bar Register, and he is consistently rated by "Super Lawyers" as one of the top fifty lawyers in Colorado. He is an excellent trial lawyer who also has impeccable judgment and common sense. Tom has the skills, talent, and knowledge to try complicated cases. But, he also has the judgment and perception to know when his client should consider alternative resolutions to the matter. Lawyers often submit their personal matters to Tom, and this is a good measure of Tom's standing in the legal community."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
