Great Injury Lawyer “I was hurt when I got hit by a semi and was getting frustrated trying to resolve the claim on my own. It seems the adjuster was trying to get me to sign off for almost nothing. That’s when I contacted Tom. He was on top of things all the way along and that allowed me to focus on healing and my school work while he focused on my case. Tom was always willing to sit down with me and my family and explain the law in ways that made it easier to understand. All of my emails and phone calls were promptly returned. On those few occasions where Tom was unavailable, his staff was there to provide plenty of support. I liked the way he handled himself and my case. Tom was able to help me get a settlement much larger than what was previously being offered. Very professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an injury lawyer.

I contacted & hired Mr. Thompson to represent me in a dissolution/divorce situation after I was presented with papers from my husband. Mr. Thompson is very knowledgeable in the area of family law and worked diligently to obtain all the information to prepare a fair assessment of my situation. He always kept me informed and was always available and easily accessible for any of my questions or concerns. An extremely thorough and detailed attorney with his client's BEST interest as his first priority.

Great assistance with real results! Mr. Thompson helped out with a traffic ticket to one of my CDL drivers and we are very satisfied with the results.

I am deeply grateful for the excellent legal work undertaken for me by Tom Thompson. He carefully explained all options to me, and then worked speedily and effectively to bring about a very satisfactory outcome. He also approached the work with a caring attitude, which was much appreciated in the midst of the distress of the situation.

I recently had Ton Thompson represent me, and i couldn't be more pleased. The sentence was the absolute minimum possible. I felt he was totally on top of the situation, and gave it all of his time and attention. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Thompson did an outstanding job of research, preparation, and delivery of facts during our pretrial. Tom communicated in a prompt and precise manner, which allowed complete understanding of where the case stood, throughout the entire process. I couldn't be more pleased with the process and the results of the case. Tom worked so hard that final trial was not necessary(which kept costs down) and he mailed the balance of the retainer to me within a business day of the matter being officially resolved. Choosing the right attorney is HUGE. We made the right choice!

Tom Thompson is exceptional! As my divorce lawyer, he was immensely helpful in protecting my wishes and guiding me to a fair, honest agreement. I trust him explicitly. At times when the opposing side was escalating the situation, Tom was the voice of reason. He is diligent, timely, and forward thinking. He conducts himself with professionalism in all types of situations. I am so thankful for him!

I was referred to Mr. Tompson by another firm. I made a large mistake, and was given a ticket for 16 over in a work zone in a CMV (not hard when it drops from 70-50) Tom told me that he wasn’t sure what the prosecutor would do with it, but he would do his best. A week and a half later he call me personally to tell me he had gotten it reduced to a equipment violation! Very very good outcome especially for a commercial vehicle ticket. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Tompson if you find yourself looking for a attorney in his area!

I had a very important case, and I knew Tom as a friend through a business club, but I didn't know what his potential as my attorney would be in such an important case for me. I was very nervous going into court, but Tom came through like a shining star for me. He was able to cross-examine and defend me and my opposition in every possible way to help prove points that were important for the judge to get the full picture. I am very grateful for what he was able to do, paying attention to the details that were extremely important. I won't go to anyone else now for my attorney needs! Highly recommended!
