Expert Representation

It is difficult to put into words just how terrifying the potential for state prison is when facing your very first run-in with the law. I was lost, with absolutely no idea what to do. I hired a lawyer, who turned out to be a nightmare, and when I went to replace him, good fortune smiled on me when I found Maas and Russo. I met with Thomas Maas, who did not treat me like a piece of garbage; he treated me with respect, compassion, empathy, and a determination to do all he could to help me. I hired him on the spot, and it was the smartest thing I have probably ever done in my life. He was very communicative throughout the process, explaining things to me clearly and concisely. He never sugar-coated anything, always explaining things in a way where I was left with a realistic, grounded view of the situation, yet also cautious optimism for the potential of a favorable outcome. Thomas Maas advised me to hire a forensics expert to look into my case, and I believe that the combination of Mr. Maas' abilities and demeanor, coupled with a very favorable report to the court by the expert, was the reason the prosecutor decided to drop the case. The process took a year and a half, but the sense of relief over the outcome is truly overwhelming. I can't imagine anyone who could ever match Thomas Maas for intelligence, compassion, and professional excellence. Words will never be able to fully express my sincere gratitude.

I will recommend them to anyone seeking legal help!

Thomas Maas and his team were nothing less than amazing. Thomas and his paralegal, Karen, were readily available for any questions or concerns I had and always had speedy responses. If you're seeking legal help, I highly recommend Thomas and his team. I felt well represented at all times! Thomas explained everything as clearly as possible and always made an effort to make sure I was on board with what was happening with my case. The communication was excellent. Thomas and Karen kept me in the loop and I was never wondering what the plan was. Thomas showed his support by not only his representation but also by keeping me level headed through an emotional and difficult case. They not only were supportive for me but also my family, if they had questions or concerns. I can't thank this team enough for the work they put into my case! I will recommend them to anyone seeking legal help! Thank you again guys!!

I extend my sincerest appreciation.

About a year ago, I was stopped and charged with a DUI. I had never been in this type of trouble in my entire life and was very scared for what the future may hold. I began researching the repercussions of receiving a DUI so that I could determine what I was to expect in the upcoming years. In doing this, I stumbled across defense lawyer, Thomas Maas. I called and talked to their paralegal Karen. Immediately, Karen provided a calming environment and assured me not to worry and that they would be there to help. Throughout the process, Karen was always available whether it was by phone or email. Looking back at it, it was her that actually kept me sane throughout the entire process. I then had a consultation with Tom and told him the events that had occurred leading up to my being pulled over and issued DUI. Tom was able to identify a key issue with the entire event; the reason I was pulled over was due to my vehicle not having a temporary license plate affixed to the front of my car (I had just purchased a new car). Tom’s extensive knowledge of the penal codes and laws was evident and the way that he transferred this knowledge into the courtroom was second to none. Tom was able to prove that the issuing Officer did not have probable cause to pull me over (temporary plates are not required on the front of a vehicle) and therefore proceeded to convince the judge that the case needed to be dropped. Eventually, and to my sheer relief, Tom was successful. Had it not been for Tom and his team, I don’t know where I would be now, nor do I know how much money this event would have cost me. For that, I extend my sincerest appreciation.

An attorney with integrity

I met Tom Maas a few years ago when I worked at the Solano Superior Court. Tom was one of the rare attorneys who, in addition to being extremely knowledgeable of the Law, also truly cared about his clients. When a close relative encountered legal problems, I immediately reached out to Tom and retained his services. Tom was able to secure a not-guilty judgment and I couldn't be more grateful! Tom has the highest level of integrity and I trust him with my life -- literally. I hope to never be in a situation where I might need legal representation but if, God forbid, that should ever happen, Tom is the only attorney I would trust.

Thank you seems inadequate. Just wanted you to know, years later… we are still so grateful.

Thomas, as of late I have been thinking a lot about all that transpired during your time of defending you client and my friend, JC. I am reminded of your hard work, tireless efforts and even (and especially) the personal connection that grew and helped sustain him. I just wanted to tell you that I am grateful. I believe that God brought you two together. Thank you seems inadequate. Just wanted you to know, years later… we are still so grateful.

Thank you Thomas, from the bottom of my heart, and from my family as well!

I recently had the misfortune of experiencing the legal system by being arrested for Domestic Violence. I contacted Mr. Thomas Maas, of Maas Law Offices and told him of my situation. He and his team immediately evaluated the facts, listened to my concerns, my side of what happened, and started the process to mitigate such a serious charge. Mr. Maas methodically navigated the complexities of the legal system and handled my case with confidence, concern, and expertly gathered evidence and facts. If you're looking for an Attorney to hold your hand, and spend time with you talking about how he's the greatest thing since sliced bread... Mr. Maas is not likely to be your choice. However, if you want an Attorney that knows how to run a court, has in- depth knowledge of criminal law, codes, procedures, and how to bring the facts of your case to life and win...this is the guy you want in your corner! Mr. Maas successfully and fearlessly went to trial with a case that seemed very much against me, and after 90 minutes of deliberation, I was unanimously acquitted by a jury of 12! This guy is a trial genius! I had a lot at stake being as I work in a security-sensitive job that requires FBI/DOT background checks. Thank you Thomas, from the bottom of my heart, and from my family as well!

There are no words that can express the huge impact you had on my life all those years ago when you fought for me in Court.

There are no words that can express the huge impact you had on my life all those years ago when you fought for me in Court. Had it not been for your excellent attorney skills, the path of my life would not have been the same. It was a very humbling experience and you are the man that allowed me to remain employed and put me on a path of much needed self-awareness and self-improvement!

I do not feel I could have found another attorney who would have been more effective.

As I write this we are currently in the jury deliberation phase of my case. Regardless of the outcome, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on my experience throughout this process. During our first meeting you put my mind at ease giving me the confidence you would represent me to your fullest ability. You did not disappoint. Quite the opposite in fact. I do not feel I could have found another attorney who would have been more effective. In your position I'm sure you have many cases that can be challenging, I hope all your clients see you as the awesome attorney you are. Thank you for your enthusiasm and expertise in representing me.

If you have Thomas Maas as your representation, you can rest assured that you have the most effective defense attorney possible.

I had been advised by an award-winning trial defense lawyer to get in touch with Thomas Maas, who I was told was the "800 Pound Gorilla" in his area. Best of the best. The nickname proved to be accurate for my case. Maas Law Offices effectively prove innocence, they stay in front of every second-to-second situation in the courtroom. When it's crucial that you're in the right defense attorney's hands, this is who you need to retain. Thomas worked well beyond his contract to defend me... he turned out to be exactly who I hoped deep down my representation would be. In short terms, words that can be used to describe Thomas and Maas Law Offices are: intelligent, quick, sharp, strictly business, high-caliber legal defense. If you need someone to prove it, call Thomas Maas. I would trust any loved one with him as the best defense attorney that one can have. It doesn't matter what your situation... if you have Maas Law Offices representing you in court, you will get the best outcome that your case could ever have. Thomas was effectively able to masterfully navigate the courts and professionally prove all the points that I wished everyone in the courtroom knew. If you have Thomas Maas as your representation, you can rest assured that you have the most effective defense attorney possible.

Once again Mr. Maas's expertise and in-depth knowledge of the law and legal procedures piloted me through the dismissal of all charges.

I hired "Maas Law Offices" to handle my DUI Case. Mr. Maas reviewed all reports issued by the police. With this advanced knowledge and understanding of the "California Vehicle Code", Mr. Maas requested a DMV hearing at their office. He proved to them that my stop and detention was outside the legal parameters set forth in the "Calif. Vehicle Code" which they agreed with. I retained my driving privileges and that was a very big necessity fror me. The court is a totally seperate issue and charges than the DMV hearing. Once again Mr. Maas's expertise and in-depth knowledge of the law and legal procedures piloted me through the dismissal of all charges. My family and I are so grateful for his understanding, compassion and professionalism. The cost of Mr. Maas's legal service was minimal to the cost I was facing with a conviction. I was not burdened with the additional cost at any point. The "Maas Law Office", provide very quality law services and for a family of modest financial means, but also with "sincere" compassion as well. I know you can pay more, but you ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT GET MORE! Tom saved me from deep depression, and for that I am forever GRATEFUL to he and his staff!
