I had a horrific experience with Tom Tuft as my attorney. Attorneys should protect their clients-that was not the case with Tom Tuft. Despite numerous and repeated requests to Tom Tuft to consult with me prior to making decisions regarding my case, Tom Tuft acted and made decisions in numerous instances without consulting me. Tom Tuft was terrible with respect to communications--he routinely failed to return phone calls and emails, failed to forward emails regarding my case to me, and discussed strategy with opposing counsel without my knowledge or prior approval. More importantly, Tom Tuft disclosed personal information about me without my knowledge or approval on numerous occasions. When I requested that Tom Tuft communicate with me prior to making decisions and requested that a portion of my bill be discounted due to the many errors he'd made, Tom Tuft abruptly withdrew as my counsel--without even providing the courtesy of a phone call or any explanation for his actions. Nightmare.
