      Tom has been practicing workers compensation for many years and is very well respected in the legal community. I refer potential clients to him on a regular basis for workers compensation matters. While he no longer has a full-time office in Flagstaff he is still very available to his clients in northern Arizona.

      I endorse this lawyer. He is all about EMPLOYEE rights. While on the bench at the Industrial commission he was called the "working mans judge". He is honest,diligent and knowledgeable.

      I take referring cases very seriously and Tom has earned my trust and confidence in referring workman's compensation cases to him. He has won some very difficult case and the clients are uniformly happy.
