Bob,

Just wanted to let you know that I went down to IAD to review the completed investigation this morning. My finding was “Not Sustained.”

I wanted to thank you and your staff for all of your assistance during the course of this investigation. Having been a member of another association and using their lawyers in the past, working with you and your firm has been a very welcome change for the better.

Thanks again!

Mr. Gorsky,

I just wanted to tell you that I joined the TMPA just after we got off the phone last week. I saw you do nothing but good things while I was employed with Dallas and always hear great things for what you do for police officers. I would like to always use your services shall the need ever arise. Thank you.

Dear Mr. Lawrence:

On or about November 16, 2007, I contacted TMPA to inquire if TMPA represented personal injury claims while on duty. TMPA responded, stating yes to my inquiry. Another officer at Rockwall County Sheriff's office recommended I contact Robert Lyon and Associates. In doing so, Bob Lyon and Associates agreed to represent me in the personal injury claim.

I want to personally thank Mr. Bob Lyon and Mr. Bob Gorsky and all of the staff at their firm for the handling of my claim and for the promptness and professionalism they showed to me and my wife, Karen. They settled my injury claim to a most satisfactory conclusion.

I cannot thank Attorney Bob Gorsky enough for his help during a recent incident I was involved in at work. It was extremely reassuring to know I had someone so highly regarded watching my back. While it certainly wasn't a huge issue relative to others I have seen in my career, there were moments when I was quite concerned about the situation. Mr. Gorsky's rapid and professional responses to my inquiries during this process were reassuring very much appreciated. Thanks again to Mr. Gorsky and thank you, TMPA, for the being there when we need you.

I would like to thank TMPA and Bob Gorsky for all the hard work and support during my appeal process. I could not have won my arbitration without all that y'all do. My case was minor in comparison to a large portion of cases that y'all deal with, yet it was treated like it was the most important. I am very thankful and I feel that with your hard work, justice was done.

Thank you all,

I just wanted to take an opportunity to say thankyou for all your help throughout this long process. You did a wonderful job at Aaron's appeal, and I wanted to make sure that I thanked you for it. I don't think the final outcome will be positive, but at least we went and stood up for what we believe to be right. It's just unfortunate that DPS uses intimidation techniques to encourage the person to give up on his/her appeal. It is sad to think that Aaron will receive a dishonorable discharge because he decided to fight. But, we decided a long time ago that we would fight until the end. Aaron has been successful in every aspect of his life since DPS terminated him, and I know that he will continue to do well. DPS did not destroy him like they set out to do. At least two of the Commissioners were interested in actually reviewing the information presented. I think that Ms. Barth was very unimpressed with DPS' process for appeal. Maybe the department will end up being a better place to work for those who remain employed there. Change is long overdue within that department. Maybe all the information we presented will at least help trigger some change in the future. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work. Aaron and I couldn't be more pleased with the job you did on our behalf.

Take care!

Attorney Phil Burleson, Jr. is my hero !! Mr. Burleson, of Lyon, Gorsky, Haring,& Gilbert law firm has a father's heart for police officers. I never thought it would happen to me, but I was fired for reporting corrupt activity within my department. Mr. Burleson stood by me, listened patiently to many tearful conversations, and provided encouragement every step of the way. He was able to get the accusations overturned by the city council. I was reinstated with all back pay and benefits, and my good name was restored. Mr. Burleson believed in me from the beginning and always returned calls and emails. I never attended an interview or meeting that he was not with me and giving me advice. I was never alone in the process. I am blessed to have him on my side. Mr. Burleson truly "Backs the Blue".
