“As a busy lawyer, working with experts can either be one of the most enjoyable experiences or one of the most frustrating experiences in my practice. Tom is the best sort of expert. Tom is smart, easy to work with, unfailingly reliable, and truly an expert in police practices. I found that working with him not only helped my client, it helped develop the entire defense and trial strategy because he took the time to find important details that the opposing experts missed entirely. I highly recommend him.”
