I pulled up to an accident that was not my fault. The officers pull me out of my car and pressed their accusations.  The Law offices of Jeremy Levy assigned Thomas Smallwood to my case and had my charges dropped down. I am greatful for their team.

I just worked with Thomas Smallwod Jr. on a very difficult case.  I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is extremely professional, prompt, and made me feel heard.  He has great compassion for victims of domestic violence and excellent attention to detail.  Amazing person! I hope to continue working with him and Jeremy in the future

Our family recently had an issue with our upstairs neighbor and intervening landlord.  We called the Law Office of Jeremy Levy and put in touch with their attorney, Thomas Smallwood.  Through several consultations and updates, Thomas gave us a thoughtful plan moving forward. He was kind, sensitive and a careful listener.  His pleasant demeanor was apparent from the beginning and personally, I found that very encouraging.  Having had some poor experiences with lawyers in the past, Thomas was genuinely a “breath of fresh air”. While were able to resolve our conflict without further legal involvement we would still highly recommend Thomas Smallwood for any dispute you may have as a tenant or a landlord.
