Thomas P McElroy's Lawyer Endorsements

Family lawyer | Mar 05

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"IGNORE the disciplinary rating. See more below. Thomas is one of the most compassionate and smartest lawyers I know. He does not focus on marketing or reputation building and instead gets excellent results for his clients. In most courtrooms he would be the brightest person in the room. Look into the disciplinary sanction if it concerns you: it is not based on dishonesty or incompetence, rather it was inadvertently violating a technical rule."
