Attorney Tomeo is a straight talking attorney who does not tell you what you want to hear just to get your business. He will tell you whether or not you have a good defense to the charges against you. He does not sugar coat the process, and he will call your case as he sees it. He will look you in the eye and be matter of fact about the matter, after he knows all of the facts. Your pain is his pain and he will probably be more concerned about your case and well being than you are. He will be with you every step of the way and he will always HAVE YOUR BACK. He believes in the Harry Bosche ( the main character in the Michael Connolley series of books) way of handling his work: EVERYBODY COUNTS OR NOBODY COUNTS. There is no other way for him.
