I hired Tom to handle my case for custody of my child. I should've known things would turn out horrible from day ONE! First red flag, another client said to me "He's great on paper but believe me he'll be ignoring you one day as well." He advised me to show up, he was either not there or never on tim...e when meeting. Second red flag, his paralegal at the time said that "I quit and submitted my 2 weeks notice, I don't know why he doesn't get it." Paid him the retainer against my better judgement. Third red flag, he shows up to court with NO documents, not even a briefcase but has a soda in hand, wrinkled suit and plays solitaire or browses facebook in court! He was once advised to "spit your gum out counsel" by the deputy, beyond embarrassing! I asked why he never comes in with paperwork, he stated "I always assume everything is taken care of." We ALL know what happens when we assume. We had 2 appearances where his paralegal didn't file things properly or dropped the ball. I wasted both days of vacation time from work. Final straw...My last date was on 10/10/19, I was granted everything, HOWEVER, I have emailed and texted Thomas and Brittany (paralegal) NUMEROUS times about when I should be picking up my official order. I go to the court myself to find out nothing was filed until 11/21/19, the judge signed and mailed it out on 11/22/19. I have YET to receive ANY information from this quack office. I paid for a certified copy myself on 1/9/20! Once they get your money, they no longer are professional or really care what happens to you. I took out a personal loan to pay him, every time I have to make a payment I get so upset because of how unprofessional he and his office are. You literally have to text or email them CONSISTENTLY to stay on top of them like a babysitter. I had to pay them to tell them how to do their job. I HIGHLY suggest looking elsewhere before hiring them. I was told about them by word of mouth. He had the nerve to ask me to come on here and write him a review because a client from 2yrs ago was making his life hell. Well I can't wait for people to read this. I could never get a breakdown of charges no matter how many times I've asked in writing. I know there is money left from my retainer but it's not worth the additional headache from him. Whatever you do please do not use this man's services, you will ultimately regret it in the end! I will be placing this review on Yelp and reporting him to the bar.
