Reviews for Thomas
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.This review of attorney Tom Lorenzi is for excellent service he provided me in 1978 when I bought a house in Lake Charles that flooded badly 6 months later. It was only house on block that flooded, and neighbors told me the house had flooded 4 or 5 times. We sued the sellers for not disclosing the terrible flooding history and they agreed to buy house back for full price. Tom set the case up so well, they did not want to go to trial. John Krause, Houston, Texas
Mr. Tom's character is beyond reproach and his empathy and expertise are most appreciated when navigating difficult situations during one's time of need. For first class legal expertise, personal character, and professional competency I strongly recommend Mr. Tom Lorenzi when you are considering legal counsel.
Although I have been told my problem is really no big deal because a report or charges have yet to be filed, Mr. Lorenzi is respecting my being proactive by retaining him to help me provide my statement as I have not been given the opportunity to do so with legal counsel as my guide. He has been very attentive to this matter and respects my concerns.
