We needed an attorney to help us with a magistrates hearing in Springfield. The evidence was stacked against us and we felt as though Tom’s experience and knowledge of the system and the players was well worth the investment. Tom was candid and explained the various outcomes- and was even willing to set up a payment plan if things progressed to arraignment.

Turns out to be the best decision we could have made- Tom showed up to District Court determined to have things dismissed, and we walked out free and clear within an hour and a half. Tom’s relationship with the DEA agent turned out to be the game changer.

We’d recommend Koko to anyone in need of a compassionate, professional, dedicated Criminal Defense Attorney! Thanks, Tom

EXCEEDED expectations. Professional, knowledgeable, and attentive attorney. I highly recommend Tom Kokonowski.

Tom is highly skilled at practicing the ins-and-outs of law. This is true to my experience of having Tom defend me in court as my lawyer. His skill ability is evident in his confident demeanor in and out of the court room. This guy knows what he is doing, period. This made me feel confident knowing he was representing me. Tom is also incredibly skilled and sincere when working with people. One of the best qualities I would have to say Tom has as a lawyer, is his ability to be thorough, rational, and supportive with his communication.

Although I did not leave the court without owing fines- Tom made sure he got me the best possible outcome given my situation. Again, I have to say his rationale and knowledge around communicating law were huge to my understanding of what things were going to work in my favor and what things were not.

I would hire him again in a heartbeat, but hopefully I won’t have to.. God Willing!

Friendly and caring people.

Beyond excellent representation. Jesse Adams really knows what he is doing. If you need legal assistance in western mass, this is the place to go. During the trial proceedings, Jesse took me for some food during the lunch break. He went above and beyond his calling, and got me a knock out win in court.

Tom is a great lawyer. Got my case DISMISSED. When I found myself in a place where I needed a lawyer to keep my job and reputation I called Tom and shortly after we had a meeting. I hired Tom because he was a straight shooter who knew what he was talking about. I thought that I was going to have to go to trial, but thanks to him my case was DISMISSED. Great guy, great lawyer!!!

Attorney Thomas Kokonowski, is professional and very knowledgeable about the law and the court systems. He represented us on a legal matter that for us was very hurtful and stressful . He was supportive and compassionate and honest. He was also fairly priced for the level of expertise of law that he possesses. We would highly recommend him. Thank you again AttorneyThomas Kokonowski,

Had a very difficult RO case and Tom was very cut and dry about everything from start to finish. He was absolutely excellent and did not sugar coat anything. He was very professional, kind, and very honest. He was able to get the verdict that I wanted, that I dont believe I would Have gotten with anyone else. I would call Tom if I ever needed representation again. A++++

I needed representation on short notice and Tom was referred to me by a good friend so I gave it a chance (I know how tough it could be to find an attorney last minute). He was available almost immediately to go over my situation. I’ve had issues with attorneys in the past where I felt like they didn’t have my best interest and from our first meeting I knew he was the attorney I wanted to represent me; not to mention he’s extremely knowledgeable in his field and has had some very impressive roles. He’s not going to sugar coat things though, he’s very up front and honest with you from the very beginning. He will tell you about the possible outcomes, good and bad. He will tell you what could potentially be a problem for you in your case but nonetheless he’s going to defend you! I’d recommend him to anyone who needs legal representation. I was extremely fortunate I got the outcome I wanted and I owe it all to Tom.

I called Tom on a Saturday morning (he actually answered and talked to me for 30 minutes before I even hired him). I was frantically looking for a criminal defense attorney to guide me in the right direction. I had no experience with the court system and desperately needed guidance to protect my professional license. I hit the jackpot when I found him.
Tom is professional, confident, down to earth, trustworthy and very easy to talk to. I always felt he had my best interests in mind. He explained the processes in detail, answered all questions, and allowed me to make informed decisions. In the end, Tom helped me get the best outcome possible and I am very grateful.
Even though Tom is a fabulous attorney, his best assets are being a kind, decent, caring human being. I genuinely feel like he isn’t in it for the money. I hope to never need a defense attorney again, but if I did, it would be a no brainer. I wouldn’t think of hiring anyone else! A+++++++++

Tom is the most professional, straight forward lawyer I have had the pleasure of working with. He did an excellent job representing me in my case, with a successful outcome. Thank you so much Tom! Me and my family appreciate your honest, hard work. You take command of the courtroom and execute your knowledge in a well prepared, precise manner. I would recommend Tom as the best lawyer in his field.

Quick response to all calls. Straightforward professional, wellspoken and affordable. Job well done.

Jesse Adams provided sound legal advice as well as piece of mind. From the moment I first contacted Mr. Adams, I felt more secure in my circumstances. He took the time to explain - in detail - the charges, the process, and all possible outcomes. Jesse was professional, prompt, and was clearly respected in the courtroom. I would highly recommend seeking Jesse Adams’ counsel.

Attorney Adams was consistently respectful and organized and communicated information effectively and quickly. He helped me understand all of my options and helped me successfully resolve my case.

Superior service. Fast response time and a no nonsense approach. If you need legal representation or advice Tom treated me right and never made me feel rushed. I felt like I was the most important thing going on each time we spoke.

No nonsense. He's not going to sugar coat but it's clear he's worth every damn penny. If you want the best, he's the guy. If you want a smile, sunshine and rainbows... Keep going. He's cocky and doesn't mess around. I hope I never need his services again but if I do need any legal counsel he's the first and last call I'll make for a lawyer.

the best in the business i highly recommend his practice thank you Tom

He helped me on a DUI case last month and did a very good job representing me at the trial and got the charges overturned. I highly recommend.

Excellent counsel, great communication, best decision in choosing Tom.

*BEFORE YOU HIRE TOM READ FOR YOUR OWN GOOD* The worst lawyer I have ever encountered. I was wrongly arrested for assault and battery and hired Tom Kokonowski to represent me. He held on to information I gave him to give to the prosecutor that would result in the case being dropped. He did this so that he could collect an addiction $2500.00 from me to take it past pre-trial. I was innocent so I was not giving up. I fired him and and hired Dana Goldblatt, she gave the information to the DA that I had tried to get Tom to give to them, and my case was almost immediately dropped. I did not have to make another court appearance. Please do not make the same mistake I did

What makes Atty. Tom Kokonowski one of the best trial attorneys in the area is his uncanny ability to process the facts as reported and quickly identify the strengths and weaknesses of a case. His attention to detail ensures his clients the best possible legal representation.

Tom's many established relationships in the law-enforcement community combined with his former prosecutorial experience give him the ability to efficiently navigate the criminal justice system.

He is creative, accessible, professional and zealously defends all clients and their constitutional rights.

I moved to the pioneer valley six years ago to open up a business in Northampton. Counselor Kokonowski was referred to me, his Law office has been exceptional in all my business and personal proceedings. If you are looking for excellent service Law offices Of Thomas Kokonowski is the place.

The Law Offices of Tom Kokonowski have been extremely helpful to me executing legal matters in another state without having to leave the pioneer valley. Tom and his assistant Mary saved me a great deal of time and money in doing so. I am extremely grateful for their services. Great people, great experience, great law office.

Amazing Lawyer!!!!! I definitely recommend Tom for anyone who needs a lawyer. Very pleasant and down to earth. You get called back in a timely fashion. He is available on your time. Tom Kokonowski is a superior lawyer.

Attorney Thomas Kokonowski is one of the best, if not the best criminal defense lawyers in the area. Tom has come to my aid numerous times. Everytime I have had to use him he exceeds any and all expectations for legal council. Other lawyers I have worked with seem to leave their clients out in the dark. It's infuriating trying to track them down searching for answers on your case's progress. This is not the case with Thomas Kokonowski! Not only was I kept abreast of what was happening with my case, but I was put at ease about the outcome. Attorney Kokonowski had a clear concise plan and when we appeared in court he made the prosecutors look like a middle school mock trial team. Attorney Thomas Kokonowski is a straight shooter, he will advise you for the best possible outcome. His fees are reasonable considering the caliber of service he provides. My only complaint is I can't use him for every legal matter because if I could I would never need to deal with another lawyer.

Tom was very dedicated and courteous. He was on-time and on-point. He understood what was needed, executed the best defense possible, and got great results for my friend. I would highly recommend Tom for both his willingness to go above and beyond and his ability to deliver. Thank you for your hard work, Tom! Best wishes.

I found myself in a situation where I needed a criminal defense attorney. The way the situation was painted by the prosecution, I thought my best option was to take a plea. Luckily I went to Tom Kokonowski. Tom assured me I not only had enough of a case to go to trial but it was quite possible he could win it. Upon hiring him I was blown away by his attention to detail while investigating the case. His preparation for the trial was equally impressive. The prosecutors at one point iron clad case, very quickly began to appear not unlike swiss cheese. Despite the gravity of the situation it was amusing to watch the prosecutor's witnesses begin flip flopping, doubling back on their own words and contradicting each other. All thanks to the hard work Tom put in. I was ecstatic when the not guilty verdict came. Without Tom my case would have almost certainly been a guilty verdict had I gone to trial without him at my defense. There's that old quote: "Once in your life you need a doctor a lawyer and a preacher but three times a day you need a farmer." If that's the case, whether you need a lawyer once or twenty times make sure that lawyer is Thomas Kokonowski!

Kudos to Tom Kokonowski !

Having been in Law Enforcement for twenty-eight years I have had ample opportunity to watch countless Lawyers practice their profession in a court of law from Boston to the Berkshires. I have seen a wide range of competency and professionalism. Even more rare in my opinion has been integrity. I have always believed integrity is a trait that every person has within. It cannot be taken from us but has to be given away. Tom is highly competent and professional. Even more important in my opinion is that Tom has maintained his integrity throughout his career. Kudos to you Tom for being the best in your chosen profession! The old saying is, ‘ If you want a good doctor, ask a nurse. Same goes for Lawyers, “ if you want a good Lawyer, ask a Police Officer.” Tom is and will remain my first choice.

Attorney Tom Kokonowski is not only one of the best people I've had the honor of meeting, but he is also the absolute best legal counsel. I implore anyone who needs legal advice or services to seek his extensive knowledge and experience. Every time I've needed him, he's been there with expertise that is unmatched by most attorneys in the Western Massachusetts region. There is no doubt in my mind he will continue to not only represent me when needed, but to anyone, new client or former, without the same dedication and poise he displayed for me. I recommend him highly and without reservation. Thank you Tom, you are truly one in a million.

I'd like to preface by saying that I never write reviews, however, I have had such successful experiences with Attorney Kokonowski that I feel like it's well deserved. I was referred to him by someone who was charged with drunk driving in a company van during work hours. He was fired from his job and lost his license. Attorney Kokonowski had fought for him and he was found "not guilty" and he also got him his job back. This is why I met with him. I have since hired him on two occasions, once was a criminal case and the other was for a car accident. I'd like to start with the criminal case...from the beginning Attorney Kokonowski was very down to earth and straight to the point with me. He was so confident in his abilities to beat these types of cases that I knew I could put my trust in him, whereas the other two attorneys I met with did not make me feel like that. I believe his exact words to me were, "I can't promise you that I will win this case, but what I can say is that I've never lost one" and then he told me I was going to be okay. This is why I chose to go with him and I'm so glad I did. Considering I had a lot to lose if I was found guilty, it was probably one of the most nerve racking things I've ever experienced. He advised me to go with a jury trial as opposed to a bench trial and so I did. I just want to say that when you see him in the courtroom it's obvious that he truly knows what he's doing and when I heard the jury say "not guilty" I literally broke down crying. This is why I have had three people I know hire him....and even though they were all very different, he won all three cases. As for the injury case, I found that him and his paralegal were very easy to work with. My case went on for about a year, but that was because I had 17 weeks of physical therapy and then multiple other doctors appointments for months. I believe that he was able to get me what I deserved for all that I had been through. Needless to say, there aren't enough good things I can say about him and I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Totally ignored me....stretched my auto accident suit out till the LAST DAY of the 3 year limit...after the first meeting I could never talk with him...had a good paralegal at the start but she quit....would not refer him to anyone.....watch out!! To involved with his Hooka Lounge project at the time I guess.....Money I got didn't come close to medical expenses and I still have problems from the accident that I am paying for on my own.
