I worked with Thomas Urban on a complex mortgage fraud case, and while his expertise in this area was evident, I found the communication aspect of our relationship to be a bit lacking. Mr. Urban clearly has a strong background in RICO actions and business disputes, as he demonstrated a thorough understanding of the nuances involved in my case. However, I often had to follow up to get updates, and I wished for more proactive communication from his end. The legal strategy he proposed was sound, and he handled the intricacies of the case well, but I expected a higher level of responsiveness given the stakes. Overall, I would rate his legal skills as very competent, but the experience left me feeling that some aspects of client service could be refined. If you're looking for someone with experience in class action or defective product cases, he's certainly qualified, but be prepared to manage your expectations regarding communication timelines.

I engaged Thomas Urban to assist with a complex mortgage fraud case, an area where he clearly has substantial experience. His legal knowledge was evident, and he was able to navigate the intricacies of the case with confidence. However, while he was competent in court, I found the communication between our meetings to be inconsistent. Follow-up calls and email responses were often delayed, which left me unsure of the case’s progress at times. Additionally, while he explained legal strategies well, I sometimes felt the explanations were rushed, and I had to ask for clarification on key points. The outcome was positive, but the process could have been smoother with better communication. Overall, I’d recommend Thomas for his expertise in class action and fraud cases, but I hope he prioritizes keeping clients more informed in the future.
