Thomas Allan Rulon's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Thomas
Laurie T.S. Adamshick headshot
Laurie Adamshick

Elder law lawyer | Feb 06

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I wholeheartedly endorse Tom Rulon. Tom's decades of estate planning experience have earned him a reputation as the dean of estate planning in Hawaii. There simply is no one better. As an elder law attorney, he uses great skill combined with a down-to-earth, easy-to-understand approach to guide his clients through the confusing maze of long term care decisions. They trust in his integrity and honest advice. I, like so many of Tom's clients, consider him not just a great attorney, but also a wonderful friend."

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.
