    I will agree that communication was not always on the spot, but I imagine this firm has a lot of…read moreclients in the hopper. Overall, I am happy with my experience. Mr. Thomas did some mysterious legal maneuvers that I didn't and still don't understand, but the end result was a successful and equitable divorce with no additional cost to me beyond the initial retainer. That was the point... I didn't want to have to understand the legal workings, and I was able to rely on him to do that.

    Those reviews that are "not recommended" are PERFECT. This "attorney" (Mr. Thomas) was not ethical…read morein my case. He took the retainer fee and that was about it. Most correspondences were through emails by his wife, who as his assistant, was extremely poor in manners, language, and judgment. Her grammar alone was a joke. Thinking back, I'm not sure why he made me communicate with his wife when he had an office staff at the time? Probably because most of his dealings were shady. When he told me he was going to file a restrainer order for me, I looked at it, and it was a restraining order from me to myself. How in the hell do you do that? I tried to fire this guy it was so bad. Once I reviewed state laws, I knew I was getting the shaft. I had no money, and after the case, I only got hit worse; losing not only my belongings, or what was supposed to be half of mine, but my children too (although I managed to have half custody, I couldn't afford to see them anymore I was so destitute). He once yelled at me over the phone that I didn't know the law, and couldn't understand anything about it. Basically, that I was too stupid and that I was a waste of his time. I can honestly say, I do not know who he was working for, but I know he wasn't helping me. He was cruel in his verbiage, even when he talked about others. In fact, once he called me to ask me if I was living in Pennsylvania and had a boyfriend I was living with. I found out later through basic research (it sparked my curiosity what he was up to b/c I didn't trust him anymore), that if you live in PA, it's common-law marriage to live with a gf/bf. He told me at the time he just had me confused with another one of his clients who was also living in PA. LOL. Now, I know what he was doing; I was allowed alimony, and he was trying to have even that removed from me. I wouldn't recommend him at all, well...maybe to my worst enemy. These other negative reviews are right on the money. Not only that, those good reviews are pretty vague. The one about him pulling some "mysterious legal maneuvers", but not knowing how. C'mon! Seriously? Look at the state law on divorces in California; there is nothing mysterious about anything. The guy doesn't do his job. End of discussion.
