Thorough, Knowledgeable, Trustworthy

The Pixton Law Firm was very thorough in reviewing our estate and gave invaluable advice as to how to plan for our future - things we'd never have known or thought of if we were just using forms. They put together a really slick package for us. The firm handles a lot of estate administration too, s...o they have firsthand knowledge of how various things can play out and can avoid some of the pitfalls others might not think of. Tom is extremely knowledgeable in this area, very caring, and clearly more concerned for our well being than anything else. He's one of the "good" lawyers. I'd recommend him in a heartbeat.

Personable, trustworthy and efficient

We had a great experience with Tom as he helped us create and execute our living wills. There's a huge advantage to working with his small practice: quick responses and everyone knows your progress and needs. His staff is extremely efficient and friendly. Tom is genuine and truly cared for our needs ...without being pushy. He was on the ball, always one step ahead of us. I'd use him again in a heartbeat.

calming through tough times

Tom and his staff are very knowledgeable in the Elder law world. I have used his services for my personal planning, as well as referred several very satisfied clients of mine, to use his services. He is very calming during a time that is generally an emotional crisis, and often potentially a finan...cial crisis.

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.
