Extremely helpful, knowledgeable and personable.

Me and the wife recently found ourselves dealing with a tricky property manager and Thomas (during a free phone call consultation) provided helpful information to make an appropriate decision. He was personable, professional and gave us many different solutions. Although we have decided to not pursu...e legal action, if an attorney is needed in the future, I know who I will call.

Tom was very helpful and answers the phone.

I found myself in my first sticky legal situation regarding a landlord tenant . I was really stressed out and scared and I’m so happy that I found Tom. He answered the phone and he talked to me and fully explained the situation and I immediately felt much better. It was the best call I could have ma...de. I subsequently hired Tom to handle my case which went perfectly.

Landlord dispute

Last April 2017 my wife and I recieved a letter to vacate our condo. We had been having repair issues with the landlord and owner of the property. When we decided to not pay until we got those issues fixes we got the eviction notice. Where other lawyers pegged us as the wrong doers Tom took the time ...to listen and advice even before we hired him. He is a very straight to the point lawyer and exceptionally knowledgeable. In the end we were able to leave the condo with our deposit plus and additional 3 mo. rent that we saved throughtout the process. I would most definetaly recommend Tom to anyone who could use his expertise.

Superstar Lawyer

My (then) pregnant wife, my one-year-old daughter and myself were rear-ended by a drunk driver in 2016. Tom was referred to us by a family friend, we called him and then had a consultation. After talking to him, we hired him. From beginning to end he was always available and there for any questions ...we had. He fought for us and he didn't let the defendant's insurance and lawyer push us around, if they tried, he shut then down quick. My wife and I are extremely happy with the outcome of our case. That's not all though. My wife and two children were rear-ended again late 2017. No injuries, thank goodness. We called on Tom and again he was very helpful. We didn't file a case this time but he helped us with providing advice and submitting letters to the other driver's insurance company. We got our vehicle repaired and money refunded for personal expenses due to the accident. If you are looking for a lawyer, I highly recommend Tom, you will not disappointed.

Personal injury lawyer | Feb 28

Relationship: Co-worker

"I had the unique privilege to work with Tom McNamara several years ago, in a personal injury firm. Tom is a bright, knowledgeable and well-spoken attorney, but what really sets him out in my opinion is the extent of his dedication to his clients and his willingness to fight extraordinarily hard on behalf of those clients. Since then, I have had a couple of occasions where friends and family members sought a recommendation for an attorney to assist them, and I have recommended them to Tom, based on my assessment of his knowledge and his devotion to his clients and their cases. We have spoken a few times since, and I have learned that he now practices landlord-tenant law, and it is clear that he brings his tenacious advocacy skills for his primarily tenant clients, as well."
