As impressive as such accolades are, an attorney should be evaluated on more than just how many awards they accumulate. At Thomas B. Calvert APLC, Mr. Calvert emphasizes building personal relationships with each client and discussing their needs in a way that helps him advise them on the best legal strategy to recover the compensation they need.
