The best lawyer in the country The best lawyer in all over USA The best word I can describe Mr. Thomas is HONEST… I’m very grateful for the help I received from Mr. Thomas. Once I hired Mr. Thomas 3 years ago, he was amazing. He explained everything in detail. Thomas was very effective in getting my application through all the required processes. He is very meticulous and detail-oriented. He followed all the necessary steps, never missed deadlines, expedited the individual hearing date in immigration court two times, and made sure everything submitted was perfect down to the smallest detail. Thomas is wonderful not only as a professional but also as a human being, makes the psychological factor of going through the application much easier and less stressful. In summary, a great lawyer and individual. I have needed his services and as always, the service exceeds my expectations. At any time, I need him he is always available to help quickly and has a high level of professionalism. Attorney Thomas Tousley is one of the best immigration attorneys in the country and you can trust him completely with all your immigration needs. I could not have been happier for him to represent us in our immigration process, and I highly recommend him. Things can be confusing and emotional with immigration situations, yet Mr. Tom made it clear and easy. At the hearing before the immigration judge, Mr. Thom exemplified what it means to be a top-tier advocate. he is very professional and truly an expert. He leads and keeps the communication very transparent and always takes the extra mile and does the right work. Not only was the paperwork handled correctly and in a timely matter, but he also worked with me on potential testimony scenarios, and made sure I was prepared. Mr. Thom is a brilliant immigration attorney, He is kind, caring and went beyond his requirements and responsibilities to help me and my kids obtain asylum. Mr. Thomas was extremely knowledgeable of current immigration laws. He stayed on top of every process and successfully reduced my anxiety by keeping me updated at every stage. I officially have asylum, and Mr. Thomas was instrumental in making that happen. To this day, I still cannot believe my luck in finding Mr. Thomas to represent me. my kids and I are very grateful to him. The best reward for all his hard work was that the immigration judge grants our asylum application in a distressing situation. There is nothing more refreshing than to be advised by someone competent, Qualified, and honest. Anytime I saw him in person, he was more like a longtime acquaintance rather than just a lawyer I hired. Super pleased with his services and highly recommend Thomas Tousley to anyone in need of immigration help
