Families generally change. In fact, when one family member goes through a divorce or custody dispute - or must deal with domestic violence - every other member of the family must adapt to a new way of life and oftentimes a new home. During this stressful time, it is easy to let emotions take over and affect your decisions.

He is working against three different insurance companies were three different lawyers, and is doing a great job of handling the case.

If anyone is ever in need of a hard nosed attorney that gets the job done this is the person for you . My case was very very unique to say the least , I contacted quite a few attorneys , and none would even give me the time of day , Tom took my case , and got the ball rolling immediately , now I'd say in less than 3 months my case is settled and I will say this , I was completely blown away on the settlement amount never did I expect this outcome Tom McElyea believed in me and showed it when no one else I MEAN NO ONE ELSE DID , he put a dent in the other sides pocket , I'm forever grateful to this

Tom McElyea represented me and from the moment we spoke on the phone, Tom was attentive, sympathetic and on top of my case - asking for all the details and taking note. He was incredibly quick to advise & respond, and every time I reached out, I heard back from him within hours. He was intuitive to sense my distress and would often help calm my nerves when certain issues arose with my case. He was assertive and unyielding to the defendants and their lawyer when I felt weak and uncertain, which made me witness just how hard he was going to fight on my behalf. Mr. McElyea was very matter-of-fact

I’ve had the opportunity to seek out Tom’s assistance on two separate occasions over the last few years – one regarding a family law and custody case, and the other pertaining to a corporate compensation and negotiation issue with a previous employer. In both cases, Tom provided superior customer service surrounding three (3) key attributes – quality, time and cost. Moreover, he totally embraced the first rule for any new client . . . active listening in order to gain a full understanding of the client’s legal issues, goals and objectives. Ultimately, the final attribute to Tom’s success

Thomas McElyea was hired to represent my 85 year old mother in a law case with a large trucking company. A driver of an eighteen wheel truck failed to stop at a traffic light and totaled my mother's SUV. She received injuries that took months to heal. Mr. McElyea was extremely professional in his representation of my mother and with his interactions with the trucking firm. He was very friendly and kept us well informed through the whole process. My mother was very pleased with the results of this case. Both of us would highly recommend Mr. McElyea's law firm.
