Mr. Ramsay successfully help me receive the best possible outcome for my case. He was easy to get ahold of for a consultation and anytime I needed to talk to him. I continually recommend this firm to friends and family seeking legal consul.
Over the past six or so years we have hired Tom Ramsay for representation in for several criminal defense cases with potentially very serious consequences. He has always been able to obtain the best possible outcomes we had hoped for. As well as being extremely well versed in the law, his time as an Assistant D.A. gives him a view of cases from all angles. We know that Tom truly cares about his clients, their well being and future. I would highly recommend him to anyone
We have used Tom Ramsay and Ramsay and Ramsay for over 5 years. He is an excellent lawyer and his expertise in law is unmatched my many ! He is a "straight shooter" and will not tell you what you want to hear but will tell you exactly what you should or should not do, to get the best possible outcome, in any situation. I highly recommend Tom Ramsay. He was not only the best lawyer we hired but I can now also call him a friend.
We've been extremely happy with Tom's expertise. My son wanted to file for divorce Tom was referred by a family friend. He explained our options and supported us every step of the way. Later he helped my son win sole custody of his daughter. Payment was easy, as we used a credit card, and he sent us an itemized statement so we'd know how our money was spent. I've recommended his services to others.
Hired Tom for a criminal matter. Was found "not guilty" and received a summary conviction. Excellent lawyer. Would recommend him highly.
I felt Tom clearly way over changed! In fact, he asked for half of the money in cash, making me question the reason.. We weren't sure what to do having never been in this situation before and felt we wanted a lawyer present. Basically, We worked with the cops and got the matter resolved , Tom was only present at one meeting and had very little to do with the outcome.
First, I got all the paperwork. Second, he over charged me thousands of dollars I paid him in cash. He actually was aggressive towards me at a hearing. The police didn't catch me or see me do anything wrong. He let them charge me the maximum fines without an argument/fight. I guess old habits kicked in and I reached out to him from successful outcomes decades ago. Could have done it on my own and saved $9,000 for three appearances. Still talks a good game but doesn't back it up.
