Personal Injury 45%

I specialize in helping clients who have been seriously injured in automobile or other accidents due to the carelessness of others. I previously worked as an in-house attorney for a major insurance company and I know what it takes to get a full recovery for our clients. We have obtained multi-million dollar recoveries for clients through trials and settlements.

Criminal Defense 35%

I have handled in excess of 600 criminal matters ranging from simple misdemeanors to death penalty murder trials. I frequently have clients referred to me by judges and fellow attorneys. I have successfully defended many criminal trials with "not guilty" verdicts. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to assist you or your loved one in criminal matters.

Helpful, sharp and good!

I own a couple different businesses and from time to time I have called Tom for needed legal advice. He's been able to guide me and help me avoid further legal action. Although I have yet to need to hire him to represent me and hopefully never have to. His advise and assistance has been perfect! Than...ks!
