Made all the difference in prevailing in court

Tomas supported me through a process that could have been handled without representation but that could have easily become mired in an extremely stressful back-and-forth trial that I might have lost. With his help and representation, an agreement was reached without going to trial that gave me everyt...hing I needed for peace of mind. That would never have happened without his expertise. I couldn't recommend him more highly!

More actions than words

Tomas is an excellent lawyer. I had an unfortunate running with the law (racial profiling) that resulted in some trumped up charges. Tomas was low key, calm and collected. When I saw him at court he was reassuring and came out with a good offer from the persecutors. I would recommend Tomas he is an o...utstanding lawyer.

In Tomas I Trust

I originally contacted Mr. Flores with questions regarding a business I was starting. His responses were always prompt and well researched. As a result of the positive results I had, I began consulting with Mr. Flores on a wider and wider array of subjects. He has helped me many times over the y...ears and has become indispensable! He is my go-to guy with all of my legal questions.

DUI

I asked Tomas to write a motion so I could get off of probation early. He responded quickly and answered my questions. I would recommend this attorney.

Computer fraud lawyer | Apr 09

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. This lawyer's contributions to this site are invaluable. I happily endorse this lawyer's work, ability and charity to those asking for advice. Further, I like to endorse good lawyers, because I find the AVVO rating system to be dishonest and corrupt. Frequently, disgruntled litigants on the opposing side (not your clients) will bash a lawyer on this site, pretending to be "your" client. When this situation is brought to the attention of AVVO, Avvo refuses to do anything to investigate and remove the false, slanderous "client" reviews. AVVO is a mean petty internet blog site trying to make money off of lawyers, and does not care if the public receives truthful information."

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.
