First let me say that I am not easily impressed and rarely would anyone provide a service that was superior enough for me to want to write a note about it and recommend others to trust the person. I’ve had the privilege of knowing A.J. Thomas since he was a young man in high school and have always found him to be respectful and trustworthy. I contacted A.J. to assist with the sale of my parents’ home. It was an emotional transaction for me and A.J. was attentive, detailed and compassionate. He made communication with him easy and was very timely in responding to any questions I had. The transaction was completed without issue and in an acceptable time period. A.J., I would recommend you to friends and family and am willing to talk to clients if they want a verbal reference. Thank you so much for what you have done for my family!

We hired Mr. Thomas (A.J.) to examine our Last Will & Testament's including our combined medical power of attorney, power of attorney and living wills There were several changes he suggested, and we acted upon, that would be in the best interest for all involved. We also discussed what we need to consider for asset planning to protect our interest if or when we would need long term care, which we are taking under advisement. Mr. Thomas' knowledge in this field was impressive and when we begin our asset planning he will be our Lawyer of choice.
