I have been acquainted with Tom Lubnau for many years. He has successfully guided us through ordinary and unfortunate legal events. However, one night my husband suffered a life altering accident which left him with a traumatic brain injury, multiple broken bones and in a coma. When the sun came up I called Tom’s office for legal documents and asked for representation. Tom and his firm stepped up for the fight of our family’s lifetime. Within six months we encountered over l.3 million dollars of medical bills, were having to sell our home, land, horses, life-long belongings and I had to quit my teaching job to become a caregiver. Tom enlisted two other lawyers and together they became a “team” that responded to the needs of our family.
My husband’s accident took place in a prominent hotel and resulted in our filing a lawsuit. Each and every avenue of the legal process was explained to me and if a face-to-face meeting was needed Tom and team members commuted to my town so I wouldn’t have to leave my husband who needed twenty-four hour care. Tom’s genuine concern, constant communication and thorough investigation of the facts were instrumental in giving me confidence throughout this desperate situation
All timelines were met, research conducted, witnesses interviewed, experts located as well as analysis and verification conducted regarding medical facts. Development of our case resulted in ongoing changes over nearly a three year legal process but Tom’s extensive knowledge of the law, acute competency, pervasive experience and a dedicated law team guided us to a positive conclusion.

Mr. Norris earns an exceptional rating from me, as he has the keen balance of representing you as a client and inserting his knowledge as a professional into your case. He is respectful and compassionate, he acknowledges your goals and will not stop until you are satisfied. He covers a wide range of cases and well versed in all. If he does not feel that he is the top candidate for your job, he will not take it on and he will refer you. Otherwise, he will do a fantastic job representing your needs.

Do not hire! Caused me to lose money on divorce settlement and does not know the law! Allowed divorce settlement to be delayed which did NOT have to be. Confronted him about billing questions, had inflated charges, mistakes made on important documents including wrong client name AND SSN! Stopped responding to emails and did not call me back. Did NOT credit my account of multiple payments made on time. I am currently taking my case before the Wyoming Bar. Waste of money and time!

How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:

To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:
- A description of your business and its structure: This will help the lawyer understand your legal needs.
