Choose a Miami Criminal Defense Lawyer Who Is Highly Respected

When you have been charged with a crime and face prosecution from the state or federal government, you owe it to yourself to find a Miami criminal defense lawyer who has the skill and dedication necessary to get results in your case. Your choice of legal representation could have an enormous impact on the outcome of this situation, and you cannot afford to take any chances. The right attorney could potentially secure a reduction in charges or even an outright dismissal of the case, but if you choose a lawyer who is not prepared to handle your case, you could end up being subjected to the long-term consequences of a conviction.

Come to the Tomas Law Firm to work with a Miami criminal defense lawyer whose ability and commitment to achieving excellent results have earned him the sincere appreciation of his past clients and the respect of his peers in the legal profession.

What Inclusion in the Rising Stars℠ List Means to You

A. Antonio Tomas has enjoyed the honor of receiving some of the most prestigious and highly sought-after recognitions available to a criminal defense attorney. One of these is inclusion in the Florida Super Lawyers® Rising Stars℠ list for four consecutive years, from 2013-2016.

The process of assembling the Rising Stars℠ list begins with requesting nominations from attorneys throughout the state, asking them to provide the names of lawyers whom they have seen in action and whom they consider to be among the best in the area. Only lawyers who are 40 years old or younger, or who have been practicing law for no more than 10 years, are eligible for inclusion in Rising Stars℠. Based on an extensive review process that involves evaluating the nominees against 12 indicators of recognition and achievement, no more than 2.5 percent of attorneys in the state are selected for inclusion in the list.

Miami Criminal Attorney with the Highest Avvo Rating

Another one of the rankings that Attorney Tomas has received is the Avvo rating of 10.0 Superb. Avvo (named for the Italian word for attorney, avvocato) is a legal ranking service intended to provide the general public with a reliable tool for searching for a lawyer.

The rankings are based on calculations made using a sophisticated mathematical model that weighs factors including the number of years the attorney has been in practice, his or her disciplinary history, notable achievements in the profession, and any industry recognition the attorney may have received. Avvo is not a paid ranking service, and the formula they use is kept a secret in order to prevent attorneys from manipulating the system for an artificially high score. Attorney Tomas has achieved the highest possible Avvo rating.
