Thomas John Standish's Lawyer Endorsements
"Tom is a very knowledgeable attorney on a variety of matters who is a pleasure to work with."
"I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Standish for several years now. It's a rare find indeed to meet a family law attorney who truly manages his cases in a manner designed to promote fair and expeditious resolution. He is able to take a highly emotional area of practice, and help his client understand that it is also a business, not just a marriage, that is ending. Looking at a divorce from a business perspective rather than an emotional perspective is much more productive for all parties involved when seeking resolution. Tom Standish may just be the BEST family law attorney in the State of Nevada. I am more than happy to wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer."
"Tom Standish is undoubtedly the BEST family law attorney in Las Vegas. Choosing a competent and trustworthy attorney for your family law issues is critical, and with Tom, you can be sure your case is in good hands. I highly recommend Tom to anyone who needs a family attorney. He is a very knowledgeable professional, who is honest, caring, and responsive. Tom is also very well-respected by his colleagues and the judges."
