First, if you only read this far, let me say that I wholeheartedly recommend Tom Stinson as your attorney if you are going through a divorce or facing child custody issues.
I came to Tom during the most difficult period of my life—in the middle of a separation and impending divorce after a long-term marriage with multiple children. As the sole financial provider for my family, I was overwhelmed and unsure of my legal rights and financial obligations. From my very first consultation, Tom immediately put me at ease. He calmly and clearly explained not only what my responsibilities were, but also where I needed to advocate for myself and protect my own interests.
My case ultimately required litigation, which was understandably anxiety-provoking at times. Throughout the entire process, Tom was consistently available, prepared, and confident in his approach. His steady presence gave me a sense of reassurance during an otherwise overwhelming experience. In the courtroom, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, thoughtful preparation, and persuasive advocacy, all of which contributed to favorable outcomes in my case.
Perhaps most importantly, working with Tom gave me the sense that he is a man guided by integrity, strong ethics, and genuine character. Lawyers often carry an unfair reputation for being driven solely by winning at any cost, but Tom was a refreshing contrast. I respected him not only for the dedication with which he represented me and fought for my interests as a father, but also for the kind of person he is. He practices family law with both skill and humanity—qualities that are invaluable during one of life's most difficult transitions.
I cannot recommend Tom highly enough. If you're looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, compassionate, ethical, and an exceptional advocate, you will be in excellent hands.
Tom represented me in a high conflict divorce, and was able to navigate it with precision and integrity. Tom has a great working knowledge and relationship with the local family court system and many attorney's throughout Santa Cruz County. His in-depth skillset of understanding the law was key to obtaining a favorable outcome to my difficult divorce. Thank you Tom
Tom was SO helpful. Very precise and gave me great information I would have never thought about. Super thankful for his time and helping me during a difficult time.
