“I have known Tom Virgulto for over 42 years, both as a very close friend and through his representation of my family in a guardianship matter. He is a person of the highest integrity and ethical standards and is deeply committed to fairness.

“When my special needs daughter was approaching her 18th birthday, we needed to navigate the complex process of obtaining guardianship. Tom was an incredible support throughout this journey. He was not only knowledgeable and thorough, but also exceptionally patient and compassionate during what was a very stressful time for me.

Tom made himself available whenever I needed guidance—taking my calls at all hours and answering every question with clarity and care. He walked me through each step of the probate court process, ensuring I felt informed and confident.

I was truly impressed with Tom’s professionalism and dedication. He’s someone you can trust and rely on—he delivers exactly what he promises. My daughter Emily was also very happy with Tom’s help and said he did a great job for us.

I recommend Tom to anyone going through the guardianship process. He made a difficult experience much easier, and we’re so grateful for his support.”

— Tim Curran

“My family has retained Tom Virgulto for three separate matters in the last 15 years.  Tom Virgulto made a difficult litigation process more comfortable.  His extensive experience was evident in his detailed explanations and spot on predictions.  Most importantly, his empathy assisted us through a decision making process.  We never felt like we were just a client or a source of income but that Tom really cared about obtaining the best outcome for us.  I would unquestionably recommend his retention as an attorney and 100% support his candidacy for probate judge.”

— Elizabeth Getrost

“After my wife, Joan, passed away three years ago, the Madison Probate Court appointed Attorney Tom Virgulto to probate the estate. At my first meeting with Tom, it became very obvious how experienced he was in probate law and proceedings. He answered my questions, addressed my concerns and provided exceptionally helpful guidance. Further and most appreciated, was the help and empathetic support he provided all during this difficult period.

I cannot begin to express how thankful I was for having Tom to lead me through this process. I cannot think of anyone better equipped or suited to serve Madison and Guilford as our Probate Judge.”

— Ron Clark

“I've known Tom for years, first as a fellow parent when our sons played football together, and later when he helped us out with a legal matter. He was kind, compassionate, and really took the time to listen and undertand what we needed. His advice made sense, and he guided us to a fair and straightforward outcome. We walked away feeling relieved, satisfied and happy it was resolved the way we wanted. That's the kind of person Tom is, smart, practical, and caring. I know he'll bring those same qualities to the community as probate judge.”

— Michelle Clark

“I have known Tom Virgulto for over 40 years. I have dealt with him on a professional level and have had the pleasure of knowing him personally. He is a person of high moral character, an ultimate professional, and has the personality and demeanor that will make him an outstanding Probate Court Judge.  I heartily endorse his candidacy.”

— Edward C. Burt, Jr., Retired Probate Judge

“Today I am writing an endorsement to support Tom Virgulto for election to Probate judge.

Experience matters but so does being current. When I think about probate, I remember something a Navy pilot once told me: flying old propeller planes is nothing like flying modern jets—both take skill, but one requires you to be up to date and practiced.

The same is true in probate. It’s not enough to have flown in the past; the best results come from someone who is still actively at the controls.

That’s why I support Tom for probate judge. He brings the right balance of experience and present-day practice to serve with excellence.”

— Nick Postovoit

“I’ve had the privilege of having Tom appear before me in court many times. He was always prepared and represented his clients to an incredible degree. I was so impressed with him, that I retained him to handle a probate matter for one of my best friends. Throughout the process, he was compassionate, empathetic, and always, always, put my friend and his family first.  I know he will do that as your Probate Judge, and I highly, enthusiastically and completely endorse him. He will be an incredible asset and friend to families in Guilford and Madison.”

— Mark Gould, Retired Superior Court Judge
