    Review Thomas Coe

    My Blessing...

    Posted by

    I was charged with 10 felonies in a very complicated case. This man believed in me and worked tirelessly to get a jury of 12 to do the same. He was able to get several of the counts dismissed prior to trial, and defeated each of the felony counts at trial. Tom is very resourceful and experienced, and he works well in a team situation, as he did with Bob Goldsmith in this case. He knew the right questions to ask and the right buttons to push, and he got the result that he wanted. I cannot recommend him enough.

    Mr. Coe did a thorough job of reviewing the case and was well-informed about similar cases. He was communicative about strategies as the case progressed and was receptive to feedback.

    Got a speeding ticket over in Clyde Hill. Tom took care of everything. Didn't even have to take off work. Kept me updated on the case and get my $275 ticket down to a $125 non-moving violation. I would recommend him highly to anyone who wants a quick, easy and painless process.

    Tom referred a personal injury case to me because it had to be litigated in MN. He worked the case up phenomenally and did an exceptional job for his client.

    I endorse this lawyer. He is compassionate, thorough and dedicated to defending his clients any legal way he can. His ethics and character are the highest; his work ethic is total; and his commitment to providing the the best defense inspirational.

    I strongly endorse this lawyer. Tom is a highly competent, experienced and hard working attorney. I believe what sets Tom apart from many other attorneys in his field are his integrity, passion for helping his clients, and the great results he achieves.

    With 20 years of experience, a great personality and intimate knowledge of how the game of law is played, Tom Coe is a solid litigator and a counselor at law. I endorse his skills and knowledge of criminal law.

    Relationship: Worked for lawyer

    I have referred clients who have criminal cases to Mr. Coe. He is conscientious and diligent in his representation. My clients have had very good outcomes in cases.

    Brad Meryhew, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 24, 2014
    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Tom on a complicated appellate matter where I was the trial attorney, and I have known him and his work for years. Tom is extremely hard working and bright. His written work product is excellent. His trial skills are exceptional. Tom is also one of the nicest and most thoughtful men you will meet--not your typical attorney in that regard.

    J. Grega, Criminal defense Attorney on Mar 22, 2012
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    Tom Coe is an excellent attorney. I have seen Tom in trial - he is always thorough in his preparation and a fierce advocate for his clients. I feel confident in referring my own friends and family to Tom Coe - he is supremely competent.
