Child Custody, Contempt, Protective Order, Family Criminal Case. (Hire Hire Hire)

The Thomas Law Firm has handle almost every aspect of family law for me since Feb 16 to Feb 17, from Domestic Violence Protective Orders (DVPO’s) to Child Custody. Each case has turned out in my favor. The Thomas Law Firm is truly professional, dedicated, and capable. They provided a totally diff...erent experience than I received from the two other Fayetteville law firms I hired during my divorce in 2007, I would recommend their services to anyone. I am a male soldier with numerous deployment, who had a custody agreement from 2008 with my ex. Mrs. Thomas and her team were able to get a judge to modify the existing agreement and secure primary custody for me from my ex-wife. My ex filed criminal assault on a female charge against me, numerous DVPO's, and actually got me arrested for violating a DVPO. I was found not guilty of the assault case, all DVPO's were always denied, and the violation of the DVPO was dismissed without cause. My ex was ultimately found guilty of misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon and I was given a DVPO against my ex. Mrs. Thomas was well prepared for court, she had a strategy going in, and implemented it throughout the trial. Sitting in the court room watching had the feel she scripted the whole trial. She controlled the pace, tempo, and mood of the court room. She seemed to have the respect of all the judges who heard our cases. I couldn’t ask for better representation. She also ensured I was prepared for the case as well. The online portal is a great way to share information, ask questions, review invoices, and communicate. Mrs. Thomas has send me questions on my cases late at night and on weekends while reviewing my case. She really put effort into my case and took no prisoners during trial. She found information to help my case that I didn't even know about myself twice. The team went through tons of evidence I provided and took out any relevant items that benefit us. I could say positive things all day but I would've felt the same way even if we didn't win the custody case. I knew prior to the ruling, win or lose, it wasn't from a lack of effort or preparation on her part. I actually didn't see the system taking custody from a woman and giving it to a male soldier no matter the circumstances. Once again, I would like to thank Mrs. Thomas, Amber (Paralegal), and Robin (Receptionist) for changing my children's life for the better. I would recommend them to anyone, I just hope I never have to use their services again myself.

Justice Prevails, Thanks to Samantha Thomas and Team

I was 100% successful in my child custody case, and was granted everything I requested, thanks to Samantha Thomas, and her team. I had actually consulted with other attorneys, before choosing Samantha, and am more than happy with my decision. First and foremost, Samantha and her team, are extrememl...y tech-savvy. They utilize an internet portal for communications, billing, calendar events, reminders - everything electronic. This is a huge plus for me, as I do not have time for faxing, mailing, and telephone calls. This has served especially helpful as I work full-time, and recently have moved out-of-state. Teleconference calls are set-up without a hitch, and Samantha is always on time. In addition, they are super responsive to anything and everything sent to them via electronic communications. I would like to point out that Samantha's front desk support, Robin, was most helpful. She was very patient with form filling, notarizing, and was always more than happy to lend a helping hand and ensuring communications that I had for Samantha were routed to her effectively and efficiently. Another reason I selected Samantha, was due to her very candid nature. I believe when dealing with sensitive court proceedings, such as child support, you need to be told exactly how it is. Samantha is very upfront with her questions, and telling you her professional opinion on different matters. Samantha is also very supportive, and I did not get the sense she was trying to rob my savings - she is fair, everything they bill for is just and clarified and always open for your review at anytime via their internet portal. It is evident, whilst in court, that Samantha is well known in the legal community. Her knowledge on the judges, the court house, other attorneys, and everything in-between is evidenced in court. If you want to win your child support case, I highly recommend Samantha and her team to represent you.
