A Consummate Professional with an Excellent Team

Working with Tom has been an absolute pleasure. Very professional and thorough. He came highly recommended from a colleague and I'm grateful to have found him. I had a somewhat complex case and he explained exactly what my options were and really did a great job calming my anxiety.

COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE

Tom is everything his website says he is, tenacious, prompt, well mannered, well spoken, well dressed. Everything is gone through with a fine tooth comb, no stone is left un-turned. Mr Medrano dots all his (i's) and crosses all his (T's). I fought a Life sentence for first degree murder and if not f...or Tom and his relentless team of professional's, I wouldn't be here today writing this post. Thank you Tom from me and my family, Believe me when i say Tom is a no brainer choice when it comes to fighting for your freedom.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1992.

Public reproval with/duties issued in CA, 1992

updated on 02/28/2011

A censure or reprimand issued by the Supreme Court or the State Bar Court that is not a matter of public record unless imposed after the initiation of formal disciplinary proceedings. No period of suspension is imposed. The reproval may be imposed with duties or conditions.

Tom’s comment:

“I was disciplined by the California State Bar in 1992 because I paid a referral fee to another attorney for referring a case. California State Bar rules a person paying a referral fee must 1. Get client's consent in writing 2. State terms of the referral fee 3. Referral fee paid must be added to the client's fee. All of the above were complied with, except while the client consented verbally, it was not obtained in writing. It was clearly a technical and not substantive violation.”
