Just Awesome!!! I had an issue with my license as it wasn't going through the registration process and I thought, it is suspended and got nervous as anyone would. After looking up few numbers and reaching through Lawyers.com, was able to connect with Mr.Verrastro who initiated the call and even after I missed his call, he picked up my call and listened to the issue with extreme patience. After listening to the problem and current situation, Mr. Verrastro took few seconds to figure out the potential problem and advised me to go to DMV and speak to them. Honestly, I wasn't expecting such a busy person allocating this much time and propose a solution as well. Five Stars ***** and a huge recommendation for anyone who needs help with legal matters. Once again, thank you Mr. Verrastro. Regards, Asad S. Hussain

A level of honesty, professionalism, work ethic and integrity that I am not use to. I am extremely happy to have crossed paths with him and consider myself lucky to have him as counsel.

Thomas was recommended by a friend when my partner and I needed a lawyer to write our separation agreement from a third partner who was retiring. As things turned out, it wasn't just a matter of executing paperwork. There were major differences of opinion regarding the retiring partners value and contribution. Two conversations later, Thomas quickly realized the potential for counter productive conflict and adjusted our strategy, remaining calm and patient while steadfast in his approach. Even after eight reline changes and unprofessional conduct by opposing counsel. Thomas' knowledge of the law was his price of admission, but what set him apart was knowing how to be a true advocate, someone looking out for my rights as well as protecting me from myself. In the end, the deal got done and both sides retreated to their respective lives no worse for the wear. If you need a calming, knowledgeable and steadying hand on your side, I highly recommend Thomas' services.

Tom Verrastro is an outstanding attorney who is uniformly good tempered, composed and well prepared for the legal issues, and he is always fully familiar with the facts. He is in every instance forthright, gentlemanly, urbane, and diplomatic. In the courtroom, Mr. Verrastro is very professional and presents with a distinguished appearance, especially to a jury. I believe that the greatest endorsement you can bestow upon a lawyer is that if you were in need of a lawyer, you would hire that lawyer. I would have no problem retaining Mr. Verrastro to represent me in legal matters, especially litigation, because of his knowledge of the law and his reputation as an excellent lawyer.

You will never regret hiring him. From the very beginning he has kept me informed he advised me of the pros and cons leaving me confident and at ease while going through the process. His professionalism and communication is excellent as he follows-up and returns calls immediately. He cares about his clients so grateful I found him.
