Grover2022-10-25Office staff awesome. The attorney was not so great. He did not seem to care about my case. Little to no contact. He said he would be at my final proceeding for a little while never showed. The attorney that attend in my final proceeding was awesome. I will not ever seek counsel with this attorney again or recommend him to anyone.
Tusharm Chavis2022-10-20To my attorney, Mr. Brian A. Thomasson, to your office managers Mrs. Theresa Rogers and Ms. Heather Rogers, I am writing this note to you to express my most sincere thanks for the most professional representation. You have stuck by me from the beginning and working diligently in dealing with my very stressful case. I admire your composure, work ethic and most of all excellent representation. Thank you all for helping me through this tough time and aiding a new beginning of my life. Thank GOD for your knowledge of the law, care and understanding for my family and I.
K. Washington2022-09-24Mr. Thomasson was helpful and was able to answer some questions and concerns that I had regarding my case. He was highly recommended to me by a retired lawyer.
Jennifer G.2022-06-28Brian took a case that another well known attorney said was impossible to win. Not only did he win that case, but he also got several show causes dismissed. On our scheduled court date we had two additional show causes that were never served, however, Brian got them dismissed without having time to prepare. What stood out the most with Brian and his office was their response time. It was either same day or soon after, which is pretty unheard of with most lawyers. We will be continuing to use him for future services and recommend him for difficult custody cases.
