When you need a real trial lawyer who helps real people solve real problems, Tom Stilwell and his law firm fit that bill.

awesome, awesome, and awesome……did I say awesome? because this is……Awesomenous personified
I would strongly recommend to anyone looking for a top notch multi-functional attorney . He is tenacious with an excellent understanding of the law
Nobody works harder for their clients or shows more integrity.
I was extremely lucky to be referred to Tom and Amanda concerning a very urgent matter. The consideration and time they applied to our situation allowed our team to focus on business as they very strategically and professionally handled our legal complications. Tom was always a step ahead of the opposing counsel and read the situation like he had written the storyline himself. Amanda’s insight to the emotional mindset that litigation creates and her ability to address it is an unquantifiable asset to this fantastic duo. I would highly recommend them to anyone!
Amanda helped me and my husband create our wills and trusts. She was knowledgeable, empathetic, and patient while we tried to determine the best way to ensure that our estate would protect our family if the absolute worst happened. I highly recommend Amanda for any estate needs.
[Amanda is] Really knowledgeable and able to filter out what I need to know to make the best decision for my own estate planning needs, while leaving out the noise. Such a helpful skill to have when dealing with estate planning (I had been putting this off for some time)!
[Amanda and Tom are a] Highly experienced, personable team that always goes the extra mile for clients. Couldn’t recommend more strongly!
