Jesse Thomas

Jesse made me feel very comfortable from the first day I met him. He gave me all the information I needed to make a knowledgeable decision about my Will.

Adoption

Jesse was very professional and helpful throughout this process. He stayed in touch with us and kept us up to date on what he was doing and what the next steps were. We will definitely be using Jesse in the future.

Jesse Thomas, was an excellent attorney. He was very professional and as soon as I had my first meeting with him I felt comfortable and confident about my situation. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He always took the time to make sure I understood what was going to happen before it did and wa...s quick to return my calls and emails. While I hope I never need an attorney again, if I did he would be my first call.

High class attorney at reasonable rates !

Very knowledgeable and at reasonable rates (and was willing to spread payments if needed). I work with the legal system for a living. So trust me when I say that he catches the details and applies them smartly. Always returned calls or emails. Wrapped up my case with minimal stress on me and great a...dvise. I hope to have little further need for an attorney in the same capacity . But if I do I know exactly where I will go !

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.
