DO NOT HIRE THIS LAWYER!!

If I can give it less than one star I would. DO NOT HIRE TOM AS YOUR LAWYER. He said all kinds of things and did none of them. I had to contact him constantly to find out the status of my case. He also said he would get my medical insurance settlement down to nothing, which didn't happen. He told me ...the case was a half a million to million dollar case and didn't get a 1/4 of that, and then he took as much from the settlement as I got. Do yourself a favor and find a better lawyer. Toms lies through his teeth, he will say anything whether it's about his 2 sets of twins or where he goes to church. This guys a hypocrite please don't have what happened to me happen to you. There are other guys out there that aren't looking to rip you off but rather represent you like you would expect them to.

AVOID this Lawyer

I will keep this short. I STRONGLY SUGGEST AVOIDING MR. THOMAS G. REINECKE AT ALL COSTS. After a motorcycle accident in 2012, I came to Mr. Reincke as he appeared open, courteous, and extremely helpful according to personal phone calls and his website, but he soon turned into a cowardly attorne...y once his fees and costs are brought to attention. He will stop answering phone calls (he will have his many secretaries email you), he will try to do as little work as possible but take 45% of your settlement, based on his crafty designed retainer agreement, and in the end you will probably have been better off fighting the case yourself or with a more reliable attorney. I eventually settled my case 2 years later, just to avoid having to go to trial with Mr. Reinecke because for the last year of my case I felt as if it was me vs. my attorney vs. the opposing party. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT BE FOOLED BY HIS CUNNING WAY WITH WORDS AND RHETORIC, ***YOU WILL SURELY BE DISAPPOINTED***. I walked away 1 year later than my first settlement offer with ONLY $66 more than if I were to have settled last year. He turned into a careless, insensitive representative of my case and my long term injuries and I am glad to finally be done with this relationship. I DO NOT RECOMMEND MR. THOMAS G. REINECKE TO MY WORST ENEMY...yes he is THAT bad.

First I am very honest and hard working and I do take the HARD, DIFFICULT LIABILITY cases that other attorneys don't take. In this case, I went to visit my client. The Traffic Collision Report had him AT FAULT. There was no offer. To compound matters he had NO INSURANCE. I worked on my client's case for almost two years. I advised him of the issues and difficulties in his case. I sent him regular status reports and called him often. I was SUCCESSFUL in obtaining a policy limits settlement offer and negotiating down his medical bills. Yes the fees went up slightly as we had to litigate the case however they were and are below the fees that are standard in the legal industry. I understand that the recovery was not what we wanted but there simply was no other insurance or assets. I obtained the MAXIMUM monetary recovery for my client. I understand that my client was not happy with the policy limits or paying an attorney a fee but what I have learned over thefts 30 years is to be honest and upfront about expectations and continue to work hard to do what is best for each and every one of my clients. If any client has an issue or concern I am always available to discuss it and hopefully resolve it. My number is available (800) 275-8326. I take calls all day and even in the evening and weekends.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident on the freeway. I called another attorney first and they rejected my case so I called Tom. Tom came out and met me and my family. Withing a few weeks he got my Harley replaced. Tom was great. He returns calls even on the weekends. He works hard and in t...he end he got me a really great settlement. I highly recommend Tom to anyone involved in a motorcycle accident.

Motorcycle Accident

I can't thank Tom and his staff enough for all of their help in processing my case. After my motorcycle accident, Tom came to the hospital where I was recovering from multiple injuries. Tom and his team were always professional and supportive and returned my (endless) calls in a timely manner. Fro...m beginning to end, they were incredible. The last thing I needed to worry about was the stress of dealing with the legalities of my accident. I would highly recommend the Reinecke Law Firm to anyone in need of legal counsel. Cassandra

Best decision I ever made

Last March my husband broke his wrist in a motorcycle accident...9 screws and a plate later, we were being hounded by insurance companies and hospitals. When these things happen, the bills are kind of a mess - He had been to the ER, an ambulance, three different hospitals for treatment and surgery, ...and physical therapy. These all come with different bills and different accounts. It's a huge headache. I came across The Reinecke law firm website and we had a consultation with Mr.Reinecke himself. Mr. Reinecke accepted our case and from that point forward he was the point person for all calls, bills, questions and it was such a relief. My husband and I felt like it was all being handled and we could concentrate on his recovery and getting back to work. He was very knowledgeable about the process, clearly answered all of our questions, and took care of EVERYTHING. Highly recommended if you ever find yourself in this unfortunate situation!
