5 /5 CareyB: Knowing its always important to hire a local attorney is one thing, but not knowing who to choose when I needed local advice recently was worrisome. After discussing my situation with a few attorneys, I hired this firm. Mr. Thomas or his office always returned my calls, and communicated efficiently. He represented me well. Even the opposing party commended Mr. Thomas professionalism. Although no one can guarantee an outcome, it was a positive for everyone. No one wants conflict. It was nice to have to have it resolved quickly and respectfully. I should also say that I chose Mr. Thomas over the legal shield lawyer - I have that plan but Mr. Thomas was a better choice.
