Native peoples law lawyer | Dec 12

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer. Tom is a lawyers lawyer. Tom and I just concluded a very complex federal court case involving sovereignty issues in Madera County. There were multiple parties and law firms adverse to our client not to mention complex and changing factual circumstances. Tom worked tirelessly every evening and weekend for months until we prevailed. Tom also worked hard in an effort to bring the parties together. But when it became clear that was not possible, he put all that he had into prevailing in court, which we did. I enjoy working with hard working, smart, creative and energetic attorneys. Tom has all of these attributes."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
