When a member of our immediate family called us from jail, we were completely bewildered and didn't know where to turn. Not only was this our first experience with the criminal justice system, but our family member was out of state. We didn't know any lawyers in Georgia, but after an exhaustive search, we were very fortunate to find Tom Church. Tom was with us every step of the way, beginning with successfully obtaining bail, and concluding with a positive result and no jail time. Needless to say, we are all relieved and grateful! Tom has an impressive courtroom presence. His defense in our case was well organized and compelling. We knew we were in good hands. On a personal level, Tom and his firm are a pleasure to work with. They answer all calls and emails promptly, which is important in a time of great anxiety. Tom explains the law in terms that are easy to comprehend. He is intelligent, witty, and compassionate...all traits that give much needed comfort and inspire confidence. We can't thank him enough!

Tom Church gave me my life back! I was convicted of a very serious crime almost four years ago that would have resulted in a lifelong hardship and very little chance of living a normal life of any kind. With little hope, I contacted Mr. Church to see if there was ANYTHING he could do to make my life just a little less painful. Without hesitation, he knew exactly how to handle my situation. Tom quickly wrote up a motion, set a hearing date, and successfully had my original conviction withdrawn and changed to a lesser charge. The new charge allowed me to have first offender, meaning after probation all charges would be expunged and my records sealed. Next, he filed a motion to have my probation sentence terminated early. Tom found a way to have my case heard virtually, even with the COVID restrictions. While in court, Tom knocked it out of the park. His outstanding work and line of questioning quickly convinced the judge to terminate my ten-year probation after serving less than four years. The judge and ADA were so impressed with his professionalism that they took a significant amount of time out of my hearing to personally thank him and even encouraged him to handle more cases in my county! Thanks to Tom I now have a promising future and a CLEAN RECORD. Tom answered every one of my emails promptly and truly cared about my case and my endless questions. Even after his work with me was done, Tom continued to help me with lingering issues that were far beyond the scope of our contract. You cannot do better than Tom Church if you find yourself in a hopeless legal situation. No need to keep searching for the right attorney, Tom is as good as it gets. He accomplished what seemed impossible, I can’t thank you enough for your diligence and dedication to my case.

Attorney Thomas Church was the “Ray of Hope” that our family needed when we were struggling with how to get our son released from prison during the COVID-19 Pandemic. He was professional, knowledgeable, dedicated, and caring. He was in constant communication with us, the case was handled in a very timely manner, and he brought our son home! He made a stressful time a lot easier, which we greatly appreciated. We could not have found a better lawyer. Be Blessed and Thank You Mr. Church!

Mr. Church handled an emergent situation for us. He was kind, very professional, accessible and got us a quick result. I highly recommend him.

During the the process of my legal matter, Tom took the time to thoroughly explain what was needed to be done. He stated there maybe somethings we didn't like to hear but he refused to leave any detail out of his explanation. I've never experienced a better lawyer. Tom was outstanding and I would recommend Pate & Johnson Law Firm to everyone.

Thomas handled my case knowledgeably and professionally, and I can't thank him enough for his work. After our first meeting, I already felt like the outcome of my case was guaranteed, and he still managed to exceed my expectations. You are absolutely in the best hands with Thomas Church representing you.

Responsive, well-informed, reassuring and humble…those are the first words that pop into my head when I think about Tom Church. I hired Tom about two years ago to represent me in the process of getting removed from the requirements of the Georgia Sex Offender Registry. From day one, I felt completely at ease and was able to easily discuss things that I had really messed up in my past. Tom just took everything in and, after some research, we had a plan of action. There were decisions to be made along the way, and Tom provided professional, well-informed advice. He was always prompt in getting back to me to answer any of my questions or concerns, and he always kept me in the loop, sometimes just reassuring me that everything was on-track and going as expected. I think one of the things that really stood out to me about Tom was his humility. He didn’t claim to know all the answers; he would admit that he needed to research something or discuss it with his colleagues. I felt that he truly desired to give me the very best representation….and I believe he did.

Tom Church was compassionate and polite with my case and resolved it as quickly as the wheels of bureaucracy allowed, and to my advantage as well. Highly recommended.

I have been trying to get relief from Registration requirements for a very long time. I have hired attorneys in the past but with no positive out come. All the attorneys seem to do was sell you on how they can help you and had no problem depositing your money right away! Good luck if you could even reach them if you had a question. Mr church ,his partners and staff where on there game. They had no problems answering my Questions and they went to battle for me without any hesitation. Most of the time I knew more about the law than most attorneys proclaimed. Mr church is very knowledgeable about the law and will fight tooth and nail for you! I am extremely happy with my positive out come and now i am able to have my life back. Thanks again to you Mr Church!!!!
