Great service

I highly recommend J.J. Thompson to represent you in any personal injury matter. He is dedicated, caring, very thorough and willing to go the extra mile for you. I would not hesitate to call on J.J. again if I needed representation.

Definitely the Best - JJ Thompson

I hired JJ Thompson after I was rear ended driving my car home from work, and am very glad I did. Every part of JJ's representation was stellar. He coached me through all phases of my case, kept me informed, thoroughly explained the process, and obtained a very favorable result. I am extremely sat...isfied with every aspect of JJ's work, and would definitely hire him again!

J.J Thompson

J.J took care of everything for me. I would drop of papers I received in the mail and he would know exactly what to do with them. He was efficient and always kept me up to date. He is very knowledgeable attorney and I would recommend him to anyone!

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.
