About Thomas Tokar Attorney at Law

Concentrating in the areas of Family Law and Estate Planning. 574-264-2668

For more than 29 years, my law firm Thomas Tokar, Attorney at Law has offered professional but cordial service to everyday people making their way through and around life's pitfalls. I am prepared and available to help you with sound counsel in many areas, including:

-Family law, divorce, child custody

-Wills, trusts and estate planning

Feeling comfortable and at ease with your attorney allows you to speak more openly about issues and seek advice more readily. From the beginning of my career, I have established warm and cordial relationships with my clients, which equipped me to anticipate and head off difficulties for them. (These warm relations are one reason I keep my membership in the Washington State Bar, though I no longer actively practice there.)

I have a strong commitment to offer affordable legal services to struggling families who need financial burdens lifted, not new ones imposed. My decades of experience allow me to get to the heart of a problem quickly and offer appropriate strategies for attaining pragmatic solutions. Let me show you how sound guidance from a seasoned attorney can create a healthy arrangement for you and your family now and into the future.

To schedule an appointment in my Elkhart office, call me at 574.206.4096 or contact me online. I offer free consultations for bankruptcy cases.

Was not expecting my case to be finished so fast. Thomas Tokar is very polite. I felt very comfortable talking to him and having meetings concerning my case. Everything turned out great and I will recommend him to anyone needing a great lawyer.

Hired Attorney Thomas Tokar

This attorney really needs to be investigated. When you hire an attorney they are working for you, you are not working for them. This is not the case with this attorney. I had a list of very good questions for him to ask in court, he would always reply "we don't need that, this is an easy case". "The plaintiff wasn't even present the judge will throw this case out". In court he only ask me one question, never asked the plaintiff anything, never objected while plaintiff was pleading case. Judge asked me one question and than went in plaintiff favor and this attorney never even tried to depend me. He sat in court like a bump on a log. When i hired him he knew when court date was, then two days prior to court he says he has another case in court that he has to be at 30 mins after my court started. He knew 2 weeks ahead of my court hearing when it was but over booked with another court case no professional attorney would do this.

Working with this attorney was the worst experience of my life. He has a negative demeanor and treats you not like a human being. He is only into law for personal gain and not cares for the parties involved. Worst communication and does not explain things well.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
