Very happy I chose Tomczak Law Group for my legal needs. Before hiring them, I had spoke with several attorneys on the phone. All of which quoted me $20,000 just to get started (more if my case went to trial), & their lack of confidence leaving me with an uneasy feeling in my stomach

This law group saved me. Long story short I was in a situation to which my lawyer at the time basically swore that there was nothing to do and that I would have to take the punishment the court will order.

I dont know about all these one star cry babies on here I had nothing but a great experience all the way around hiring this law firm. They showed me nothing but respect, kindness and professionalism from the jump the secretaries to the lawyer's. They also never beat around the Bush with any part of my case they always made sure I knew what was going on and what would most likely happen next.
