I have known Tom Malone since 1990. He is both my personal and corporate lawyer. He is much more than someone who writes contracts, employment agreements, and keeps us up to date on corporate compliance issues. Tom is involved with the ongoing regulatory changes for my health care business and has been an advocate not only for my company, but my industry and my company’s clients. Tom has a gift of explaining complicated legal issues in plain English.

Tom Malone is a man who really does give the legal profession a good name. I would never consider using another attorney.
