As a private investigator with some years under my belt, I know good lawyers when I run across them. To me a good lawyer is someone who is accessible enough to be responsive, but busy and experienced enough to know how to handle a case. A good lawyer needs to want to serve the client, not just their own wallet. (Oh, the stories I could tell about bomb throwing attorneys who just want to rack up those billable hours!)
I've had the pleasure of working a case recently with Tom, and I find him to be dedicated, responsive, and to really care about his clients. Finding all that in one attorney is rare. For any Travis Co. case I would highly recommend Tom. He's got several years under his own belt in investigations, as well... and sometimes even the best attorney can't go very far without the evidence we bring them. So, having an attorney who is familiar with investigations is key.
Before you even think about going with a big firm or high profile divorce lawyer, consider this. Attorneys make money by encouraging acrimony between parties. I don't believe that Tom is gunning for that for his clients. I believe he truly wants to get them from point A to point B with as little damage as possible. We have that in common.
Tom is in Lakeway, but don't let that stop you. No matter where you are in Austin... you might spend a bit more on gas, but you'll save a bunch in aggravation, frustration and fees. read more
