I have the comments below, obviously compiled by Judge Thomas (Tom) Cecil's family, all of which are attorney's, all of which are in on the scam.

If an honest, respectable legal representative is what you are seeking, stay away from Judge Cecil and his family.

If on the other hand you are seeking a greedy family then contact the law firm of Cecil and Cianchini. Judge and attorneys all working together, do you think they are not fixing cases?

I found him very fair. I did not get all I wanted, but looking back, he did the right thing and I truly appreciate the time he took to Judge the case. All in all I could not have had a better Judge to hear the very difficult case.

Those who have appeared before judge thomas cecil soon learn that he is ignorant as to the law. Fortunately for him in family law he is allowed to legislate from the bench. Unfortunately for parents these actions are contrary as to the best interest of our children. We have a process in place where we elect representatives and vote on legislation, cecil has taken these rights away from us. Why? financial gain, our children are being abused by actions such as those made by thomas cecil.
