Thomas is a walking encyclopaedia, but he's also an incredibly normal person, who is easy to deal with. He is incredibly intelligent and great at dealing with knotty trust problems.

Not only does Thomas know the law backwards, but the tone of his written communication is so well judged and persuasive.

He definitely knows his way around this area and is great to work with. If I had issues with probate and succession, he is definitely someone I would go to.
