Tom has been a great resource as our family lawyer. He has guided us through difficult topics such as drafting a will and all the implications and tough discussions that are required to complete that process properly. He handled it with grace and compassion without diluting the core subjects that required attention to complete. Tom has also handled our property transactions and closings. He has been able to provide us with enough information so we felt comfortable with the path we were on while keeping us aware of any potential mishaps that could occur. In our last transactions we ended up running into some issues but due to the preparation we were in a productive space to move forward and handle the situation professionally and promptly. I utilize Toms services across all major legal areas concerning my family's well being and security and have yet to be disappointed in the quality or results he has produced. I recommend Tom Tozer as a strong option for a qualified and effective legal representative for anyone needing legal services.

My first experience with Tom Tozer was a great one. Tom made me comfortable in a very difficult situation. He was always available to answer any questions no matter how trivial. I appreciate that he is always easy to contact. We have now used his expertise in several situations and he has proved to be competent in many areas.

My partner and I were very lucky to have Mr. Tom Tozer as our legal counsel while purchasing our first home. Tom is very knowledgeable regarding real estate law. He has the unique ability to breakdown complicated legal issues to simple and understandable advice for his clients. Tom was always quick to respond to phone calls and emails. I would highly recommend Tom to all those seeking legal counsel.

I've dealt with Mr. Tozer on several occasions and I have never had a issue. He is prompt, very professional. Quick to respond and very pleasant to work with. So if looking for a realastate lawyer, you have found the one in Tom Tozer... I do not have anything negative to say. So yes I give him a five star.

Although I've been acquainted with Tom Tozer's legal acumen for years, it wasn't until recently our family needed a variety of his services. He helped our two daughters negotiate and close on two unusually challenging home purchases. Additionally he drafted and crafted to our specifications all of our end-of-life documents (wills, care preferences, etc.). Navigating the legal system can be challenging for all of us and you need to have someone you can depend on to give you straight and thoughtful answers to all your questions and concerns. Tom Tozer is that kind of lawyer -- honest, communicative, and with your best interests in mind and deed.

Thomas Tozer proved to not only be knowledgeable, but also compassionate in a difficult real estate transaction involving a divorce. He knew the laws inside and out, and was wonderful at keeping me informed in every step of the process. In a situation that felt very much out of my control, Mr. Tozer made me feel confident and in control. Several "curveballs" were thrown in our direction, and he dealt with each new situation calmly, swiftly, and confidently. I highly recommend Tom Tozer - and regularly do so.

Tom has always responded promptly to any questions or issues we've had with our real estate endeavours. We've had some tough purchases with foreign closing companies, Tom handled all concerns and communications smoothly. It was comforting to have an experienced attorney by your side.

If you are looking for a knowledgeable, real estate attorney who is available to help at anytime, then Tom would fit your need. He followed my closing closely when I had a handful of challenges on the seller's side and answered all the questions I had quickly and professionally. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

Attorney Tom Tozer was our attorney for a situation regarding poor roofing workmanship on our home. His attention to the details that would support our case was outstanding. He communicated each process of the case and his expertise in the field is what really won the case. We recommend Tom Tozer very highly.
