Tom Cossitt Up and Coming Lawyers 2014 - Law Week

In one of Tom Cossitt’s cases, he represented a mother who faced her child’s father in court; the father as seeking custody only between the hours of 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. — while the child was sleeping. Cossitt can chuckle about the father’s strategy to avoid making child support payments, but with a practice in family law, specifically in protecting children from abusive parents, few of his cases are laughing matters. The first client he ever had was a father who felt his 10-yearold son was endangered by the mother’s drug use. Cossitt filed an emergency motion to restrict and found himself in trial for the case within seven days. “That threw me into the deep end of family law, and once I was able to see the good that came out of the work, it was appealing to me, and other attorneys started sending me family law clients,” he said...

    Review from AVVO

  • "I had a very challenging case, one that could have had indefinite financial consequences. Tom Cossitt evaluated my case and identified several strategies for moving forward. I chose one and Tom developed and implemented that strategy with speed and with the utmost in professionalism. The documents he drafted on my behalf, based on extensive research and case law / precedent were thorough and comprehensive. When the Court ruled, it used the arguments as developed by Tom Cossitt verbatim in its decision, and the case was decided in my favor. Needless to say, I was pleased beyond words. Based on my experience and the outcome of my case, I would highly recommend Tom Cossitt to anyone requiring the services of a family law attorney."

    Review from Google

  • "I met with as many as 10 different attorneys before coming across Thomas. After our initial consultation, I was very pleased with his knowledge and realistic expectations. During the really tough time, Thomas kept me calm and helped tremendously to get custody of my daughter. He kept me informed on what was going on and would ask for my input; if it was something that was unrealistic or could be done a different way, Thomas would tell me right away. During the hearings, he was amazing. He kept a professional attitude and was great at cross examinations. He took in all of the facts and evidence, and was able to present them efficiently and effectively. Ultimately helping me gain custody of my child."
