Reviews
"Tommy was great in helping me with my case. I was arrested after an accident and charged with DWI -- but I wasn't drunk at all. It was raining heavily and that was the cause of the accident.
Tommy defended in me in this case and was able to prove using video tape evidence that I was not drunk in the least.
He was very thorough and careful with the details. His questioning of the arresting officer was bang on and made him admit that I couldn't have been drunk and didn't act like it says in his report. I definitely recommend him to anyone."
