Thomas was exactly what I needed in setting up my photography business for success. He gave me all of the information I needed and made sure I was protected. I feel more confident with my agreements and policies in place after working with him.

Fortunately I was acquainted with Tom via his workshops for artists. The sessions were informative and clearly explained legal issues that might particularly apply to those in the creative industries. So, when a large company failed to uphold their portion of a job I was involved in, I didn’t hesitate. I called Tom. He went to bat for me, held them responsible for their actions and, consequently, I received fair compensation. He will fight for the ‘little guy’ and is not intimidated by the opposition.

Tom and his firm have represented my business in a variety of legal support issues and I am always very happy with the support I receive and the outcome of the work. Tom is easy to talk with and explains the options very well and provides very good support from start to finish. I feel confident that all of my company legal requirements are in good hands.

Working in the creative industry it is so important to have someone that understands what makes our industry unique and how the law applies to it. Someone who can see all the angles of the creative workflow and help walk one through what can even seem like a daunting field of legal options. That is just what Tom and his team are. Tom listened carefully to what my concerns regarding intellectual property on one of my projects and was able to break it down in a way that made sense and present my options. Having worked in the creative industry is a definite plus with Tom. He knows how creatives approach the the work, the passion we have about our projects, and how to protect what we create. Thank you Tom!

Maddrey's law firm is experienced, knowledgable, and friendly. This firm is not only approachable, but feels like family once you consult or hire them. This is brains and beauty that you need on your side!

Tom is the perfect blend of intelligence and confidence without the all too common lawyer trait of arrogance. He provides excellent legal services and is a pleasure to work with. Tom can quickly dissect the relevant issues, understand and address complex matters, and then draft writings that are clear, persuasive, and nuanced. Tom is adept at identifying the root of the problem, and then figuring out how to effectively advocate for his client.

I first found out about Thomas through the American Society of Media Photographers, so right off the bat, I knew he was credible. He exceeded my expectations by his professional advice and by always being available whenever I needed him. Because of his background in photography, his knowledge and guidance has proven to be so valuable to me and my business and I am so grateful!

I really enjoyed working with Tom and Ford. My brother and I started our own company, which neither of us have ever done before. We weren't sure what the legal processes were like, and we chose Tom to help us. Tom took the time to answer each and every detailed question that I had, and he explained it in a way that made perfect sense. He is open and honest about what/how he charges his clients, which was a big deal for me. I had always heard of how lawyers can take advantage of their clients, making them pay an outrageous amount for unknown services. Tom is not like that. When I had any question at all about an invoice, he took the time to look over his records and precisely explain what went into the invoice. I also like how quick he and Ford responded any time I sent an email or called to leave a message. These two are very professional, and I'm glad we decided to use them for our startup!

Let me take this opportunity to thank Tom and his staff, in helping to resolve the payment issues related to a long-time client refusing to pay for his logo design. All of my previous attempts to resolve this issue myself were in vain. I sincerely believe that without your firm’s assistance, I would have never received the payment. It has been a pleasure working with you and your firm. I hope I do not have to use your services in the future, but if I do, you will be the first one I call!

Working with Maddrey PLLC was great. They were detailed, responsive, and considerate of our needs. Easy to talk to, easy to work with. Highly recommend!
