Looks good, sounds good doesn't mean it is.

I experienced the same as one of the other reviews. Mr Cossitt has no courtroom presents. He is nervous and showed no confidence. He was not organized with the facts. He was destroyed in the courtroom by the respondent that represented themselves and had no more than a high school education. When... I had the consultation with Cossitt he was confident that there would be a better out come than what I was facing prior to court. I left the courtroom after he was schooled by the non-attorney worse than I ever thought. After this Mr. Cossitt ABANDON me with court still pending. He cut his loses and left me to finish the case. He would not take my phone calls and charged me over $16,000. He did nothing for me. This shows he has no care for his clients. His staff is constantly after you about payment after he says he will work with you. Mr. Cossitt charges more than most attorneys. He rarely called when he said he would. He was always behind and not prepared. He would ask for information the night before the information was due or before court. He would charge for calls from his staff stating he would call at a certain time and then never call. I am retired from law enforcement and have been in the courtroom many times both for civil and criminal cases. I haven't seen worse. Based on my case I can not and would not recommend Tom Cossitt. Save your money and time, find a competent attorney that cares about you and won't abandon you.

Great Supportive Attorney!!

Tom did a great job of helping create an updated parenting plan and assist me in going back to court to get back child support for my kiddo as well as provide support to me throughout when issues would arise. I have used him twice, both during my initial divorce and to file a contempt and I spoke not... use anyone else to help me! He is knowledgeable and he really cares!!!

Thank you!

I am very appreciative of Toms services. English is a second language to me, and this proccess seemed difficult because of that barrier. He was very patient and thorough making sure I understood everything before he proceeded. I will recommend him to everyone! He truly cares about you, as does his w...onderful, helpful team.

Successful Resolution!

I had a very prickly case that could have resulted in financial liability for life. I contacted and worked with Tom and was thoroughly impressed by his approach to my case. He developed a powerful strategy, identified a wealth of precedent to support that strategy, and presented everything related ...to the case in a completely professional manner. When the case was ruled upon, the Court adopted Tom's arguments verbatim, ruled in my favor, and dismissed the case. I firmly believe that no one could have provided the level of service or expertise than that provided by Tom Cossitt. For anyone who may be considering an attorney to represent them and their interests, I highly recommend Tom Cossitt.

Tom is an attorney who is able to hear what you need and also decide a cost-effective solution.

Tom has represented me on several different legal actions and I have been very pleased with each of the outcomes. In my opinion, he has a knack for hearing what you are saying and taking the unproductive emotion out to make a realistic, appropriate plan. Tom is a thorough and caring person who keep...s the best interests of the children top priority. I recommend Tom for all your legal actions.
