Horrible!!!! Child Support/Custody Case.

Very unprofessional. He seems lost in court and constantly apologizing for speaking when he didn't supposed to. dragged my case for over a year and then closed my case without consulting with me or letting me know. I find out my case was closed when I checked the court's website; and when I called ...to ask why was the case closed they acted offended. They lack professionalism. Brought paper work to drop him off my case, I was told I would get the final papers about a week after. 4 months have passed and still haven't done it. Would not recommend him at all

Waste of time

Mr. Thompson did such a negligible job with my child custody case. I honestly would have been better of representing myself. He would forget very important information in court to where it was just embarrassing; it's as though he has ADD. The other factor that irritated me is that he would too often ...flirt and joke around with my ex husband's attorney in court! This was regarding custody against a very abusive man and Mr. Thompson did not take things seriously for the life of him.... I wanted to cry!! I ended up hiring another attorney after 19 continuances who cleaned up his mess and helped me gain custody which ended up costing me money that I didn't have..... PLEASE do not waste your time on him!!!

Tompson Law helped me change a part of my life

I contacted Mr. Thompson for my case...even though it seemed dificult at first we were able to win the case. The paralegal was always informing me of everything. I would definately recomen their professional work.

Great Attorney

This Attorney is simply amazing. He has helped me with both Family and Criminal cases and both have been a success. The staff at the office are very professional and always give you updates so no need to call the office, also he offers FREE Consultations and payment plans. I highly recommend this ...a Attorney!!

Great Attorney

Mr. Thompson and staff helped me with my divorce. I was always informed on my court dates and the staff always made me feel welcome. I plan to use his services again if needed.
