Divorce
I was dealing with a very contentious divorce and I needed someone to represent me in court. Tom was recommended to me and I found him to be knowledgeable, personal, ethical, and compassionate. In my opinion Tom Stinson is the professional you should contact to advise and represent you.” From the very beginning my experience with Tom was incredibly positive and he represented me in a way that I felt very comfortable. I recommend Tom without hesitation.

Very informative
It was very nice meeting with Tom. He is down to earth and I felt comfortable discussing my issues with him. He answered all my questions and provided other valuable information. Also printed out forms that he gave me.

Helpful, Competent and Responsive
Tom helped me walk through the complicated steps of my daughter's divorce. He was helpful, competent and responsive. Whenever I had a question regarding forms or procedures, he would get back to me the same day, if not the same hour. I'm very happy with his service and would recommend him to others.

Great lawyer @ great price!
I was very hesitant to hire another lawyer regarding my family issues due to past experiences. I found Tom online and decided to give him a visit as an upcoming case matter needed lawyer representation. Upon meeting with Tom he was very polite and forthcoming. Tom guided me and helped me through the entire process keeping me well represented the entire way. Tom was very understanding of money issues and worked with me to come up with the best resolution for what I could afford. I would recommend Tom to anybody going through a divorce or dealing with child issues. All of my calls and emails were answered within a 24 hour period.

fantastic legal help and more
Tom took my case when there was little time left for trial. i was abandoned by my prior attorney with no reason given just before trial and Tom negotiated in 2-3 weeks a settlement that my prior atty couldn't do in 2.5 years. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He will do his best and he is honest

Tom was referred to me from the Self Help Center(great resource) at the SC family law courthouse in Watsonville. He was professional as well as kind and I felt like he invested in my case right away. Tom was also knowledgeable and competent which made me feel that I was in good hands.
