Avoid hiring Thomas Cantley

In my opinion, Thomas Cantley cares only about himself & the almighty dollar- if you have the misfortune of hiring him he will likely take a case that can be resolved quickly, show no empathy for your situation, & unnecessarily drag it out strictly for HIS and only HIS financial gain leaving you even... more financially damaqed than before you hired him and he will be okay with that.

DUI Resolution

Thomas steered me through the completely foreign territory of the poor choice I made to drive intoxicated. He did it very professionally and expertly, but he also did it on a very human, down to earths, compassionate basis. The day before every hearing we had, he called me and told me what to expect... and gave me encouragement so I would be prepared. He gave me all the right information to obtain the best possible outcome for my case, and he was right on every count. After my sentencing, we had a one on one discussion of the proceedings and how it all turned out. He told me I had a refund coming on my initial retainer, which absolutely astonished me. I felt I would probably owe him more before it was over, and was overwhelmed by his honesty. I shouldn’t have been surprised because that honesty was evident in every phone call, text or any other communication we had. His integrity is beyond reproach and very refreshing. If you need an excellent attorney for any kind of criminal case, Thomas Cantley should be your only choice
