Couldn't Have Asked For A Better Lawyer

For starters I'd like to say that Tom went far beyond the call of duty to provide the most complete, transparent, and vigorous defense for me that I could have imagined. Even before I could speak with him he was helping provide counsel to my girlfriend on the best options for me at that time. Once ...we did speak he was straightforward about what he could bring to the table, his prognosis of potential legal outcomes, as well as his pricing. Speaking of which, I believe is a bargain for his expertise, diligence, and the eventual outcome of my particular case. Tom was excellent about keeping me abreast of all developments and made himself available whenever else I needed to speak with him. Email, text message, and phone calls were all regular. To top everything, Tom is incredibly personable with a wicked sense of humor. If I ever need representation of this sort again (though I plan to avoid such necessity haha) I'd absolutely go with Tom. If you're searching, Tom's the right guy.

A True Trial Attorney

Tom is a trial attorney who puts the client's priorities first. Unlike many attorneys who want to call all of the shots, Tom will consider alternative view points and instead of coming up with reasons as to why a certain defense could not be raised, he will work to come up with a way to raise it. ...He was always open to my ideas. We went to trial in a federal drug conspiracy case and I was found not guilty. Enough said.

Tom Fleener is the epitome of passion and compassion

Tom worked relentlessly to achieve a positive outcome for our family. His diligence and knowledge of the law prevented an innocent person from spending 20-50 years in jail. He cared enough for our family to involve us in the process and to educate us about the proceedings so we were prepared, makin...g the process much more tolerable and alleviating the fears that we encountered along the way. Our family owes him eternally for his hard work and professional insight. His expertise in the law and collection of evidence and witnesses gave us the gift of a grateful, joyous, intact family. He is an investment with a fantastic return. Justice prevailed due to his persistence and grace. Amazing man and businessman, a true Godsent for our family, would recommend him a thousand times over.

Excellent Federal Representation

Tom represented me in a complex federal gun case. He fought hard and got me the best possible deal. Thanks for your hard work.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Tom is a great trial lawyer. I have tried several cases against him, and can say from first hand knowledge that he has very few equals in a courtroom. Tom has the unique ability to communicate his theory of a case in such a way that a jury can reach no other conclusion than the one that he is advocating. He is the type of attorney that works relentlessly for his clients, and gets amazing results. I highly recommend him."

  • 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.
