A+ 5 Stars! Thank God for this Lawyer!

5 stars! Thank you Mr. Tom LemMon! I hired Mr. LemMon after my daughter with seriously injured at Six Flags Amusement Park. His professionalism, thoughtfulness, honesty and promptness were especially appreciated because he was working an overbearing mom and a minor. He communicated clearly with us ab...out medical procedures, future plastic surgery concerns, and the significant permanent damage to her leg. This lawsuit could have been very confusing, but Mr. LemMon was able to guide us through it all, then at the end provide us with an amazing settlement. Because he is available, easy to talk to, and does what he says I would definitely recommend him. I would not hesitate to hire him again if needed.

Excellent Attorney

I hired Tom LemMon to represent me in a legal matter, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. He was incredibly professional throughout the entire process—communicative, detail-oriented, and always prepared. Tom took the time to clearly explain every step, making sure I understood my options and ...felt confident in the strategy. His expertise and calm approach gave me peace of mind, and thanks to his hard work, we won the case. I would highly recommend Tom to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and reliable attorney.

Disgrace to the Legal Profession

Thomas LemMon is a disgrace to the legal profession. My parents own an acupuncture clinic, and are hardworking, immigrant business owners. They treated a personal injury client of Mr. LemMon’s arising from a car accident. Mr. LemMon, however, withheld medical fees for those treatments from my parents...’ office, was totally unresponsive to our efforts to collect our fees, and refused to disburse any funds received from a settlement or insurer until we sued him in small claims court. His client, our patient, also complained that Mr. LemMon was unresponsive and would not follow his instructions to provide payment to us in a timely manner. In the 30 years of our medical practice, my parents have worked with and coordinated with hundreds of attorneys who represent patients, who are honest, trustworthy, and communicative advocates for their patients. Unfortunately, Mr. LemMon is the worst attorney that we have encountered. We confirmed with our patient that Mr. LemMon advised his client to ignore our medical bills and our communications. When we were in court, Mr. LemMon tried to physically intimidate us by getting aggressive and in our faces when we were trying to negotiate a settlement with the patient to obtain payment. When we were trying to calmly, rationally discuss settlement with the patient, Mr. LemMon laughed at us, told us that the matter was “none of our business,” and pushed the patient along the hall to avoid speaking to us. He threatened to file sanctions against us for simply trying to recover what is owed to our small business. We believe that Mr. LemMon may have obtained payments for our medical treatments from either a settlement or insurer, but is pocketing the funds for his own benefit. We spent our own money and incurred filing and service costs to file a small claims action that was prompted by Mr. LemMon’s non-responsiveness for over 2 years. We would caution potential clients to be careful about working with Mr. LemMon’s given the conduct and unprofessional, physically aggressive behavior that we have seen from him in this ordeal.
