I'm not sure the 4000 word limit is enough for me to adequately and eloquently describe the work of Tom Donnelly, but I'll do my best. My husband and I have been working with Tom and his team now for almost two years. They have specifically led us every step of the way in a long, drawn out custody battle - battling against my husband's ex who has been repeatedly domestically violent, a substance abuser, constantly perjuring herself in court, and has had nothing but a strain of pathological lies to their shared children. How there are people in this world who exist in this manner - we do not understand. Many times we are frustrated, and we don't understand. Sometimes we just want to scream, because of the constant barrage of ethical misconduct we have faced with opposing counsel and her clients. HOWEVER, every single time we feel this way. Tom and his team are there. Tom and his team have a plan. Tom and his team take care of it. They are the epitome of professionalism, honesty and have an ethical standard that we never thought was possible from a lawyer. Tom has fought this battle for us as though it is truly his own. We will never be able to repay Tom for the lengths at with which he and his team has and is defending our family. And not just defending us, but defending us with absolute 100% integrity - which is important to us. Tom is extremely well versed in family law, post-divorce and custody issues, and has a giant wealth of knowledge of not only local city/state laws but many other cases nationally that has helped shape the reasons why these very laws have come to exist. For someone who has never needed a lawyer at any other point in my life, I couldn't imagine ANYONE else helping our family navigate through this obstacle. Tom and his team are accessible, reasonable, and passionate for their clients' needs. We have always felt prioritized, fairly represented and could not say enough about what his continual efforts have meant to us. If you are prepared to be honest and fight the good fight, and you are looking for a lawyer to join you in that journey - choose Tom. In fact, I URGE you to choose Tom. You will not only not regret it, but you will be eternally grateful that you chose him and his team. Tom, Laura and team - if you don't already know how much we appreciate you, I hope this review at least scratches the surface of letting you know how we truly feel. Thank you!
I just want to say Mr Donnelly and his staff are friendly helpful very professional. He did a wonderful job helping me get my son back to Colorado. I can say enough good things about the job that he did.
Let me start by saying that prior to meeting Tom and his team I could have never imagined writing a positive review of any attorney...much less a 5 star rating. My prior experience in the family court was extremely frustrating. I am active duty military stationed outside of the state of Florida. When I brought my emergency child custody case to Tom, I knew immediately that he was a fighter. Working on a seriously urgent and compressed timeline, Tom and his legal assistant, Laura, made the needs/wants of my family a priority. Through the emergency hearings and extremely volatile litigation, he remained composed and ready for the fight. There were emotional times that he told me exactly what needed to happen and even though it was NOT what I wanted to hear...his council proved right. This review would not complete without mentioning, Laura. She was on several occasions my calming influence in these proceedings. One memory in particular was her late night call in response to my nervous emails before our emergency hearing. She literally said, "relax, get some sleep, Tom will take it from here". My kids are safe, my family is healthy, and we are as happy as can be thanks to Tom and his team. I can not say that you will 100% win your case because there are no guarantees in court. I can tell you that if you don't hire Tom and his team to represent your interests...you should be afraid that your opposition will. I would/will be honored to recommend him to anyone that needs a fighter in their case. You will not regret your decision to hire Tom Donnelly.
I have known and worked with Mr. Donnelly for more than 30 years. My family and I have had the privilege to have Tom represent us on a number of legal matters ranging from complex automobile accidents and personal injury, family law, dispute resolution, civil defense of suits my business has been involved with, as well as the criminal defense of people I know in the community. I have met many lawyers but Mr. Donnelly is certainly at the top of my list for attorneys that I would speak with about any issue that I or my family are dealing with. Not only does Tom know his stuff, but he and his staff are supportive, completely engaged and understand the complexity of dealing with the many issues that someone faces when they need a lawyer. Your lawyer is your advocate who is there to fight for your best interests and be there for you which is often at the most difficult and stressful times of your life. Having a lawyer and team there to support you in your time of need is a life saver. I trust Tom and his staff with all my legal needs and so do my family and friends.
Mr. Donnelly and staff were wonderful to work with. They have a great team and work really good together. They did a great job with my divorce and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a lawyer. thank you
Tom has been my attorney for nearly twenty years and has always provided excellent advice and service at a fair price. I will use him again and would recommend him as well.
Mr. Donnelly and his staff were very professional and courteous and were all a pleasure to work with. Mr. Donnelly was very caring and considerate of my situation and was always available to answer any and all of my questions when I needed him. His entire staff was wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend Mr. Donnelly for any and all legal needs.
Mr. Donnelly came very highly recommended to me by a good friend, and I am extremely grateful to have had him on our side. When police officers made an unlawful entry into my daughter's home based on a search warrant meant for another property, she was facing an uphill battle and felony drug charges. It was her word against 2 police officers, and we all know how that usually ends. Mr. Donnelly was upfront and realistic regarding possible outcomes, kept everyone up to date with what was going on at all times, and prepared everyone very well for court. It is my opinion that it was his cross-examination of the police officers, coupled with his impassioned argument to the judge regarding a violation of my daughter's 4th Amendment rights, which led the judge to rule in her favor. I hope to never again be in a position in which anyone in my family needs a defense attorney, but Mr. Donnelly will definitely be the first person I call if we do.
I was really impressed with how well Tom is known in the Clearwater court system. He was friends with every guard, bailiff, and attorney we walked by. Tom has so much experience too, he's seen it all and knows exactly what to say and do in order to get the right outcome. Whatever your situation may be, I would advise you to give Tom a call EARLY so that you two can establish a plan for your specific issue. I’m very glad I did.
