Thomas J. Filicia

I was at first excited to talk with Tomass about my case because he seemed knowledgeable and said that he doesn’t take cases he can’t win and was very responsive until couple weeks before my court date. On the day I had court. He had nothing prepared and never did any paperwork on his own, he used th...e paperwork. I filed before hiring him and representing me terribly and I lost the case and not only that he charged an obscene amount of money to just show up with three bullet point handwritten notes and have no idea what was going on in the case , and after that, I have needed to speak with him regarding some of the judges motions that he is supposed to take care of the huge fee, paid him, and he has ultimately disappeared and gone silent and doesn’t answer any phone calls or text or emails and basically just took my $5000 for an hour court date destroyed, and left me with a lot more problems than when I first hired him. He will promise you the world when you consult with him and then once you pay that high fee, he is going to take your money and not care about your case so my advice is to find another lawyer and run because he doesn’t care about his cases. He cares about taking the money and not talking to you again.

Hello I hired Thomas Filicia about two years ago regarding a drinking in public case . I recommend that you please look else where . My situation is much like the other reviews on here. I feel like he took my money and ran. When it came to appearing to my court date never heard from him the day of so... the following day I contacted his so called assistant and his assistant claimed there was no court date scheduled in my name and that Mr. Filicia did attend. I thought that sounded weird but none the less I took there word for it. A year goes by and I hear absolutely nothing regarding my case no contact whatsoever . I texted and called the assistant and he claimed there was no new info to be given. Once a year passes I demand for them to provide me in writing what they have done for my case and never received it. My wife and I have called Mr.Filicia about numerous times and left multiple messages and texts and never heard back . He now refuses to answer any of our calls. This attorney took our money and ran please stay away. I already submitted my complaint with the California state bar I suggest everyone who has had these same issues with him do the same because this is not ok.

I hired Thomas for a expungement case from 2008 felony. He gladly took my money. I filled out the packet of questions for it and signed contract paid him in full I’ve been trying to contact him for 9 days ZERO contact back. Should be simple paperwork and file. Absolutely ridiculous in in Arizona ...hired him over phone. Horrible communication and ethics in business.
