I’m beyond grateful for their hard work and highly recommend them!Posted on Jennifer Lynn DuncanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm sharing this review on behalf of a friend who is too distraught to post it themself. I have documentation of proof of all of this in case the company wants to refute any of it... I am extremely disappointed with the service I received from Thomas Kennedy Sampson & Tompkins, LLP. After working with them for two months, I still have no solutions or progress toward settling my case. From the beginning, I was only connected with a paralegal (Maryama Swindell) who seemed unable to move my case forward. While she was vacationing in Spain, I was suffering over the holidays - losing my job & home from a fatal accident. Despite repeated attempts to get in touch with an actual attorney who could assist me, I was consistently met with excuses or delays. I felt like my case wasn’t taken seriously, and there was a lack of communication and transparency throughout the entire process. I trusted this firm to provide the legal expertise and support I needed because they were referred to me, but instead, it felt like my time was wasted. If you are looking for a firm that will actively work on your case and keep you informed, I would NOT recommend Thomas Kennedy Sampson & Tompkins, LLP. Unfortunately, my experience left me feeling frustrated and without the legal resolution I was seeking and I had to fire them to find another law firm.Posted on Bill BigsbyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Horrible law firm. I personal would never use them for any representation. Staff is rude and unprofessional.Posted on J.GilmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I served as a juror on a case that Woody tried and he did a great job. From the beginning, he basically ran the courtroom, was very engaging, personable, and all the jurors liked him. Kristal was also impressive and it was a pleasure to watch them work.Posted on Paula ColemanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent legal services!!
