Thomas first helped me with an expungement and now he’s helping me with another case. He has a great team, Rhonda is super helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend that you hire Thomas, he’s very straightforward and fair.

Thomas West and his secretary, Rhonda Maher, were incredible! You never want to find yourself needing an attorney, but I'm glad they were there when I did! Nothing but professionalism, and always available to answer my questions. I'm more than pleased with the final verdict on my case, and I owe it all to Mr. West and his dedicated secretary. i highly recommend them to anyone needing help.

Thomas is very professional and very good at what he does. He was able to help me out of a DWI by getting me enrolled in a program that will eventually take it off my record. He was very helpful and very reasonably priced!

Thomas West is the absolute best at what he does. He is very pragmatic and will get the job done. He believes in his clients and will not quit fighting for them. Thomas is someone that I trust completely to take care of any of my needs. He is a man of integrity and was able to take care of my family's business to an above satisfactory level.

Handled my case with no hassles great lawyer

I couldn't have asked anything more of Thomas West or his staff. They were all so helpful and were there every step of the way. I always knew he was willing to answer any questions I had as soon as he possibly could. His services were well worth every penny and I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation!! Thank you Thomas and Rhonda!

My brother has had problems with alcohol in the past, and has previously served time in prison for multiple DUI’s. After the death of our mother, he fell off the wagon again and subsequently had a motorcycle wreck causing an incapacitating Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). He was charged with an enhanced DUI due to the extremely high alcohol level and his prior record. My brother’s injury was so severe that he was in a TBI Rehab unit for 11 months before he was discharged. I had contacted Thomas West a few days after the accident and he handled all the legalities while my brother was in rehabilitation. Upon my brother’s discharge from the rehabilitation facility, it was time for him to face the charges. Thomas compiled all the medical records he needed to show that my brother could not withstand another blow to the head should he be involved in any type of prison fight. Thomas successfully negotiated to have the court agree to put my brother in a drug and alcohol rehab program, out of state where I live. Four months later, when we went to court, we walked out with a probated sentence. A couple of months later, Thomas went back to court and helped my brother obtain an occupational drivers license. It’s been a year now and my brother still lives out of state near me doing just great. We’re extremely happy with the work Mr. Thomas West has done for us, and would highly recommend him for any criminal issues you may have.

Having children who attended college in Waco led to a good education and wonderful memories, except for that one night when poor decisions were made, clouded by alcohol. I live in East Texas and needed a local Waco attorney to represent my child. I wanted someone who knew the local system, the prosecutors and Judges. I know many of the attorneys in my home town and was given the name of Thomas West by the most prominant criminal defense lawyer in East Texas if not in the entire state of Texas. This referral was truely a blessing. He was able to work with the district attorney and court to obtain the best possible outcome for my child. I truely believe that when you pick a lawyer, that experience and knowledge of the local legal community in extremely important. Thomas has those attributes. He is very personable and has a fair and reasonable fee structure. In my profession, I have worked with many lawyers over the years. I think I know a good one when I see one and Thomas is a good one. I have worked with Mr West on more than one instance and have been pleased with his services. If I ever need legal cousel in McClennan county, Texas, I will ask for Thomas West.

I highly recommend Mr. Thomas West to anyone. He is a man and an attorney who is true to his word and delivers results. I am glad I have Thomas as a lawyer, but mostly as a friend that I can count on when needed. My name is Suzanne and I am writing a review on my lawyer Mr. Thomas West. I live in Waco, Texas and I am 48 years old. I am divorced with two wonderful boys who are my whole life. I graduated from Texas A&M University and I am a very proud Aggie. I am not very proud to say however, that I needed the assistance from Thomas to help me out of a very stupid situation that I was involved in. I found Thomas from an attorney friend of mine who highly recommended him to me. Thomas immediately met with me and we discussed my situation and how best to handle the circumstances. Unfortunately, before I could obtain his services I ended up in McLennon County Jail. My foolish mistakes were more costly than my family was willing to pay and I was directed to find a court appointed attorney. I was very hesitant in doing so as this person would not know me from anyone else, much less care about my situation. I stewed on this idea for a few days and chose to hire a court appointed attorney. I did not know if Thomas West even accepted these types of cases but I filled out the paperwork and proceeded to put his name on top of the form. To my amazement somehow I was blessed with Thomas West. Let me remind you that I am a college graduate in a jail cell thinking how am I going to ever get myself out of this situation. My family had thrown their hands up in the air and left me to determine my own outcome. Now, more than ever there was a light at the end of the tunnel and Thomas held the way to it. I remember our first visit in a tiny room where we met. He asked me what happened, listened and wrote down on paper the circumstances. Our visit was short, quick and to the point and he said he would be in touch with me. In just a couple of days I received a phone call and Thomas told me what my future held for me. and how to get there. Thomas inquisitively said can I ask you a question? I replies yes I will answer anything you want to know. He chuckled and said "why did you take what you took"? Mind you as I was caught with skittles, jellybeans and sour cream that all totaled up to be less than $6.00. My response to him was the candy was for my son who was in town and the sour cream was for dinner that I was preparing for that evening. Without saying anything else, he said okay. From that point on I knew I not only had a good lawyer but a friend who would not judge me for my stupidity, make me feel less than a person, but would help me obtain the best outcome possible for this situation. Thomas West did not fill my head with promised that would never come true. He simply provided me with the facts and how to best handle this situation with the best possible outcome for me. I knew I was in safe hands and he would deliver on his word. To sum up this dreaded nightmare I brought upon myself I am safely at home. Thomas West delivered on his word and I made a swear to myself that I would never end up in that horrible place again. My parents did not raise me to behave like a criminal. I had let my desire for alcohol turn me into someone I hated to see in the mirror. I had reached my ultimate lowest. I have since put myself back in school and am obtaining my masters in Addiction Counseling. My goal is to help people with these horrible addictions while ultimately helping myself. I am not going to tell you that Thomas West was the reason for this, but I will tell you because he did not judge me, make me feel as low as I had become, I stood strong with him by my side in court and held my head high and knew in my heart and soul that I am a much better person.

When I was in college, I engaged in a series of pranks that resulted in my arrest and the potential derailment of my future. A friend of a friend recommended Thomas West, indicating that he was a very capable criminal defense lawyer. I decided to hire Thomas West and found him to be very knowledgeable of criminal law. Throuout my dealings with him, I found him to be professional, punctual, and adept at keeping me informed of matters relating to my case. In the end, Thomas west was able to have all of my charges dropped in exchange for community service and my arrest expunged. I can not even begin to describe how grateful I am for his capable service that ultimately resulted in the maintenance of my clean criminal record, and thus the preservation of my future aspiration.
