Honest, hard working, fast!

I've had several contracts created and each of them was done very quickly. The quality of work was excellent. I will continue doing business with Justin L. Thomas.

Raising the Bar for Quality Service

Mr. Thomas was very professional during the case we had regarding personal injury. Not only did he present all the facts, options and approaches that we could take to resolve the case, he also possesses the many intangibles that sets him apart from other attorneys such as the accountability and integ...rity with his words and his follow ups. The level of comfort he services to his clients also set him apart from other attorneys who just want to take the easy route to get the case over with quickly and keep parts of your settlement. Would I recommend him to others? Absolutely. If anyone is looking for an attorney who will sincerely give his best, and to also add value then Mr. Justin Thomas is your attorney.

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.
