 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Tj after searching for best lawyers in Tampa area for a family member needing aggressive representation for probation violation with one of the toughest judges around presiding over the case in Pinellas Co.  We are very thankful we did or he would still be in jail. Tj had to put up a strong argument with a judge that is tough to get any mercy or an inch, and by next morning family member was out of Jail and back to work.  It was clear he was one of the most respected attorneys in the courtroom with his presence.  Definetly will utilize his services and refer to friends in future and recommend to those needing one of the best Lawyers in the Tampa Area. Don't be taken back for his candid straight forward responses to your questions, he is a no nonsense lawyer who will be brutally honest with you, there is no Fu Fu or false hopes given when he speaks with you.  Very responsive and I appreciate speaking directly always with him personally and not handed off to a paralegal or other associates in the office.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. TJ was very honest and forthcoming with the services that he could provide and the possible outcome that he could deliver. Everything was set up with a total price that was pretty reasonable. He did over estimate just a little bit so it was a pleasant surprise when the pricing that he estimated turned out to be quite a bit less. TJ is an excellent communicator very easy to reach and very quick with responding to emails and texts. He delivered exactly what he said he would for about $1000 less than he originally quoted. I recommend him highly for his professionalism and results.
