Thomas was the only lawyer out of 15 that we called who would take our case. Statute of limitations was the issue. He honestly communicated what reasonable outcome we could expect and in the end it matched up with what actually happened. Adjectives that would describe Thomas: honest, super competent, timely, and pleasant. We would wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Cantley.
