I provided CPA expert witness services in connection with a matter involving a client of Mr. Carnes. While strong legal knowledge and creativity were apparent as they should be, Mr. Carnes strong interpersonal skills including crisp communication, tact, and empathy set him apart as an effective attorney in a trial preparation and ultimately a trial setting. Mr. Carnes demonstrated a strong work ethic, was thoroughly organized, and most importantly conducted himself very ethically. Taken together, these attributes benefitted his client significantly by allowing Mr. Carnes to advocate the merits of his client's position with credibility.
Thomas is a very fine attorney. He and I had a case as adversaries. He ably and zealously represented his client's interests. It is my recollection that, in the end, the case was settled to our client's satisfaction and through the years we have run into each other at court and at seminars and I could easily recommend him to others.
I have known Thomas Carnes for well over a decade now, and I must say that it is difficult to think of another person who possesses such an ecclectic and rare mix of skills and talents as Mr. Carnes. In legal matters, he has represented me both personally and as a corporation for a number of matters. He pragmatic and no-nonsense approach to an Intellectual Property case in which he represented my company was effective and refreshing. His skill and style commands respect from clients, peers and Judges alike. What is most enjoyable about knowing Thom Carnes however, is his insatiable love of life. He is a Rancher, an Innkeeper, a Counselor, a Music Lover, an Art Lover and much more. It was a legal matter which introduced me to Mr. Carnes, but that relationship has matured over the years to one I count high amongst those on my list. Mr. Thomas Carnes is an outstanding individual and an equally outstanding lawyer and businessman. His ethics and his unwavering beliefs drive him in all apsects of his life.
There is not a better attorney or mediator. Mr. Carnes has vast experience in both family law and business law. He has been through multiple meditations and as such is able to take on the role of the peacemaker. Mr. Carnes is able to look to the future and see what potential issues may arise and also able to address ambiguities. Mr. Carnes has a heart of gold and wants the best for everyone.
I worked on a difficult family law matter interrelated with a serious criminal law matter with Thomas. His skills and dedication are excellent, and I would not hesitate to recommend him without reservation.
Thomas was a great friend during my divorce. He took a personal interest in what was best for my family and me with a specific interest in my children. I hope no one needs him for what I did but would highly recommend him if they did.
Tom and I represented clients with similar interests in major energy litigation. Not only is Tom a competent professional, but he also is highly motivated and focused in the arena. I would gladly join with him in any future litigation or other legal matter.
Tom Carnes is a good Trial Lawyer. Ihave watched him work in the courtroom. I have also watched him prepare for a case. I have no hesitation to recommend Tom Carnes as the lead lawyer to try a case, or to assist in the trying of a case. He will do. Joe Heffington
I have known Thomas for many of years. As a marriage and family therapist and parenting coordinator I have referred clients to him and worked with him on a number of clients that he referred to me. He really cares about his clients, is extremely ethical, and is a first class attorney in all categories. He goes the extra mile for his clients and takes beautiful care of them. When you need someone who's absolutely the best call Thomas.
Tom is a professional and skilled attorney with great integrity!
Tom is a very good lawyer with an eye for detail. He is proffessional in his dealing with opposing counsel and the court. He is compassionate about both his work and his clients. He is a very good trial lawyer who hasn't lost his way when it comes to common sense.
I have known Tom for over ten years. I have worked closely with him on several complex litigation matters. Tom possesses a sharp legal mind that is able to cut through extraneous issues to get to the essential factual or legal issue upon which the case turns. I highly recommend him.
Tom is one of the most well-versed attorneys practicing family law in the Hill Country. Tom brings years of experience to the table along with a real desire to help clients work through the difficult process of divorce and custody issues. Working with Tom has been an absolute pleasure.
One of the most confusing and delicate times in someone's life is during a legal struggle. Ignorance of the law and it's long term applications to your life can be overwhelming. When I had the good fortune to find Tom's practice he spent many hours with me counseling, explaining and discussing with me the long term implications of my legal case and fought for every right due to a father. Tom's deep knowledge of the law combined with his personal service still benefit me and my family. The seemingly small details in our case were cause for problems and Tom identified them and developed a clever solution to best benefit me, his client. I can't recommend Tom's personal touch with his clients and keep him on my list of friends and service providers.
Tom is an attorney of the very highest character and competence---much more concerned with his client than himself.
Tom Carnes has been a solo legal practictioner in the Texas Hill Country since 2008, when he moved his practice from downtown Houston. Tom focuses his practice on resolving disputes -- business disputes and family law disputes. He has an active and broad business litigation, family law, and mediation practice.
Tom is a native of Denton, Texas, where he graduated from Denton High School (1980) and the University of North Texas (BBA, 1983; MBA, 1988).
Prior to embarking on his legal studies at the University of Houston Law Center in 1989, Tom worked first as a restaurant manager, and then in financial analysis and corporate finance, for a large bank holding company and a defense contractor.
Tom graduated from the University of Houston Law Center in 1992, magna cum laude. At the Law Center he was inducted into both the Order of the Barons and the Order of the Coif, the two legal honor societies at the school. He was also an officer in Phi Delta Phi, a legal fraternity.
For the first ten years of his career Tom worked for major law firms in Houston, practicing complex commercial litigation. In February 2002, he left large firm practice to form his own firm, first as a solo practitioner and subsequently in a partnership with his friend and colleague John Ely. In late 2008, Tom determined to move his practice to the Texas Hill Country.
During his time in Houston, Tom was widely recognized as one of Houston’s preeminent lawyers in each of the areas in which he practices. These awards include being consistently recognized by H-Texas Magazine as one of Houston's top family lawyers, "lawyers for the people," and top lawyers overall. He has maintained the top peer review rating of "A-V" from Martindale-Hubbell since he first became eligible in 2002 after ten years of practice. He is a longstanding member of the College of the State Bar of Texas, and numerous bar associations and charitable organizations.
In 2008, Tom moved with his wife Beverly to their farm outside of Fredericksburg, Texas. Together they own and run Agarita Creek Farms LP , a working farm and ranch, as well as a farm-stay tourist destination. Tom also recently concluded a four-year lay seminary course of study, through the Education for Ministry Program of the Episcopal Church. He also hosts a Saturday morning music radio show in Fredericksburg.
