I found Mr. Thoman online when dealing with my ex in VA who sought a DVPO against me. I am out of state, and had no local recommendations for lawyers. Scary situation, but I took a chance on Mr. Thoman, and I don't regret it. He was candid and honest from day 1. He nipped the nonsense right away - no DVPO. This is one competent attorney, and I would recommend to him to anyone. He is a no nonsense guy, and this is his firm so he doesn't nickel and dime. Worth Every Penny! I highly recommend this attorney!!

Unfortunately, almost as soon as he turned 18, our son made some poor choices & found himself in very, very serious trouble as an adult. With absolutely no idea of who to call, we blindly googled attorneys in our area & happened upon Brian Thoman. we read his bio & the reviews he had online. We were impressed that he had prior prosecutor work under his belt as the charges pending against our son were criminal. After calling a couple of other attorneys we knew from their t.v. ads, we felt Brian was definitely the best fit for our son’s situation. Brian not only had knowledge of the law, but compassion. He explained everything to us thoroughly & never gave us any false sense of hope. He was very clear about what we could expect, but he worked tirelessly until the very end to ensure a positive outcome for our family. Our son wisely followed Brian's advice to the "t" & the very serious felony charges were dropped. I have no doubt that if we hadn't hired Brian, our son would be sitting in jail right now—possibly for several years. Brian had a very good rapport with the prosecution attorneys & it was clear in viewing their interactions in court that they had respect for him & took him seriously. He also took the time to meet with the detective (usually a witness for the prosecution) on our son’s behalf & Brian was also able to secure a favorable review of our son from the detective to present to the prosecutor & Judge in our son’s defense. We are so very glad that we used Brian Thoman & would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a skilled attorney. His assistant, Amanda, was amazing & kept us updated & on track every step of the way. On a side note, they also worked with us on their fees & we were able to pay over time so it didn’t put too much of a strain on our finances all at once. Bottom line…..call Brian Thoman if you need a competent, reliable attorney in & out of the courtroom. He was definitely worth every penny. We are all so very grateful to Brian & Amanda for all their hard work & diligence over the past year, which made it possible for our family to begin this New Year with a fresh outlook-thank you

Mr. Brian Thoman is phenomenal! It took me some time to find time to write this review, but I was determined to find time. A few months ago, my husband was charged with a petty larceny from Walmart. This is something completely out of my husband's character, but without going into personal details, he was going through a very difficult time and Mr. Thoman helped us with this. We scheduled a visit with him and he was very down to earth , compassionate and understanding of the situation that had occured. He took his time and we felt rushed at no time. He recommended my husband to take a Theft Class and do some community service prior to court, which he did. He went out of his way to contact the security person at Walmart and work out a deal with him and we did not even have to appear before the judge. We will definately use Mr. Thoman again if we ever have an instance we need him for any legal issue. He is a perfect combination of what we wish we could find in any attorney, smart, savvy, well spoken, yet down to earth, compassionate and understanding. We want to thank him from the bottom of heart! Thank you Mr. Thoman!

Mr. Thoman walked me through my case from beginning to end. Being a DUI, I was facing jail time, license being suspended and the possibility of losing my job. During trial, Mr. Thoman got the charges drastically reduced! It is no longer going to affect me, my license, nor did I need to sit in jail, and I was able to keep my job. If I am ever in need of legal help I will absolutely come back!

*Took time to prepare for court *Knew the other atty-and how to win *He knew this was a false charge, he didn't miss "the fine print"

Mr. Brian Thoman was excellent in handling my case for criminal charges that were false. He was very thorough and respectful, he helped vindicate me in a sitituation i thought was virtually impossible because of the circumstances. I definitely recommend him as a defense attorney and his staff is very courteous and proffesional. Danielle

I was referred to Mr. Thoman by one of his other clients. I was impressed right away. He took the time to talk to me, to get my side of the story, and to help me. He told me that I had a good case and that I should fight. The case went to trial in front of the Judge, and he got the charges dismissed. I was in shock. I could not believe that! I'm glad I listened to him, in the beginning I was telling him to get me a plea.

My ex accused me of DV and kidnapping when I wouldn't let her drive stoned on prescription meds. I was facing a felony charge. I could not afford to go to trial, but Mr. Thoman worked with me and the prosecutor to have the charge reduced to a misdemeanor with only 5 days of jail time and the rest suspended. I hated pleading guilty when I wasn't, but it let me get back to work and start putting the whole thing behind me. He explained everything to me patiently and helped me get through a horrid time. While I hope never to need a defense attorney again, I would certainly call him for any other legal work.

I was referred to Brian by my attorney in NOVA. I was chased by a cop and given an erroneous ticket by not slowing down or changing lanes for an emergency vehicle on the side shoulder. Brian proved that the charge was BS, and got my case dismissed. Call Brian if you want your case tried, he's worth the attorney fees. Thanks Brian!

Great lawyer. I got into a situation which could have meant jail time, the stress was unbearable. Losing my job, house etc. Brian negotiated with the prosecutor and I ended up only having to attend evaluation classes, with no guilt. The prosecutor wanted me to plead guilty and defer the charges, Brian told her NO, that we would do a continuance and after 6 months the charges would be dropped without any guilty plea, she agreed. It was just a walk in the park for him, he had control of the situation from the start. He also kept me informed throughout and above all, he was very caring and gave great advice. With him leading the charge, the whole trial may have lasted 10 minutes. If you need a great lawyer, contact Brian Thoman, and don't even look anywhere else.....

Mr. Thoman and his practice provided expert service in my case. He was very honest, patient, and very experienced about the laws surrounding my case. He took a lot of time didn't rush through discussions and provided great advice. I would recommend this practice highly.

Mr. Thoman did an outstanding job restoring my good name. I could not give him a high enough rating. He really cares. He a,so is brilliant and can think on his feet. We hit a wrinkle in the case and thought we might have to request a continuance. But Mr. Thoman quickly regrouped and was able to successfully argue for my benefit. You won't be sorry if you hire him,
