Tom Schoaf review

Tom provided our family with a living trust. He gave specific detailed instructions on how to make the trust work best for our situation. During the past two years he has called us to make minor enhancements on the trust as a benefit to us. Tom also got me out of a predicament with an unscrupulo...us time share company.

I have used Mr Schoaf for a variety of legal services over the years. I have been very pleased with his expertise and knowledge. His fees are fair and well spelled out. Communications and follow up are exceptional.

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.
