Best Family Law Attorney

Tom and his entire staff were pivotal in representing me in a high conflict divorce. He is an expert in family law, property tracing, and handling custody issues. He will fight for his client and can be aggressive if needed. His excellent team guided me through a difficult divorce and custody of ou...r children. I received everything I deserved and didn't settle for anything less. Tom has a stellar reputation in the legal community and it's clear he and his team cares for their clients. Hands down I would recommend Tom in a heartbeat.

Amazing Attorney

Tom is an incredible attorney. He represented my sister in her divorce from an extremely abusive man in an exceptionally high conflict custody case. Tom's performance throughout the entire ordeal was top notch- he simply could not have been better- and my sister got everything she asked for. His kn...owledge of the law is immense, but more than that, he has unbelievable instincts. He knew exactly what needed to be done every step of the way, and made sure that it was. Tom and his entire staff are superb, knowledgeable, helpful, understanding, and caring. Throughout this ordeal, we got to know all of them very well and were amazed at the lengths they to which they went to ensure my sister and her children were protected in every respect. I thank them all, from the bottom of my heart, and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Excellent Family Lawyer

Tom turned what could have been a terrible situation into a much better one. I'll always be grateful. Tom knows and understands the family law judges, facilitators, and mental health professionals, and is an excellent litigator. He is very bright, with a fantastic ability to grasp complex situations ...and motivations. Special attention, responsiveness, and professionalism from his staff, too. Tom represented me against a high-conflict co-parent, and helped return stability for our child.

Attorney Review

Tom Wright has represented me since 2011 in an ongoing divorce involving high conflict custody issues and complex financial/business issues involving business valuation and separate property tracing issues. He represented me in mediations as well as in court more times than I can count, including cus...tody trials and protective order requests. Tom is straightforward, fair and honest. His advice and representation has been outstanding. Each court appearance has been successful, despite equally competent opposing counsel. Tom's paralegal is very knowledgeable, responsive, professional and wonderful to work with. I couldn't ask for a more dedicated, strong team to represent me. I am very thankful to have been referred to Tom by my original attorney who could not handle the high conflict case. I highly recommend the Law Firm of Thomas Wright.
