THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS!

We can't say enough about Pete and everyone in his office!! His first priority was for our daughter and helping us make sure she had the best care. His second was for us, as parents, to help us be able to give her what she needs throughout her life. Even though all the money cannot make our daughter... who she was before the accident, having the funds to let her live a long and comfortable life with the medical and home care she needs is of immeasurable value. I will recommend Pete and his law office forever!!

Was not impressed

After searching through several different attorney reviews I was super impressed with Mr. Thomas. Unfortunately after several interviews I found I was wrong with my assumption. Mr. Thomas is not knowledgeable in personal injury accident cases as he had informed me and he is also very quick to double ...talk. I believe he may have a high rating for court cases, but as an attorney for his client, I do not believe him to be honest or knowledgeable with personal injury suits.

Replied last March 25, 2015

Dear Ms. O'Dell: I am sorry you were so disappointed that my firm was not willing to accept your case. Our services are in high demand and we cannot agree to represent every person who contacts us. Your case unfortunately did not meet our criteria, so we politely declined your request for representation. We have never met or spoken by phone about the records you had your former attorney send to my office, but I would be more than happy to set some time aside to discuss my observations and the reasons we were not able to accept your case. In the meantime, hopefully one of the referrals I provided you will work out. If you need some additional recommendations, don't hesitate to let me know. Best regards, Pete Thomas
