About Margeaux
Biography
D. Margeaux Thomas spent nearly 10 years practicing at elite BigLaw firms. In 2016, Margeaux, an entrepreneur at heart, took a leap of faith and became the founding member of ThomasLaw. Why? Because Margeaux longed to build something different and valuable for clients – a law firm rooted in a client-centric culture, essentially a law firm that seeks to make the client and the client’s objectives the primary focus. A firm that defines what “victory” looks like from the onset, so that the focus of every decision is results driven. Margeaux thrives to provide every client of ThomasLaw with the experience gained from BigLaw litigation practice, all with the personal touch and greater value, efficiency, and flexibility of a small firm. Margeaux approaches litigation matters pragmatically – with an eye toward early resolution, balanced with an enthusiasm for aggressive courtroom advocacy when appropriate.
Margeaux, formerly with Miles & Stockbridge P.C. and Williams Mullen, has gained significant courtroom experience representing individuals and small business in complex commercial and business litigation, consumer fraud, and class action cases at the trial and appellate level throughout Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Margeaux has first-chaired numerous bench and jury trials on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants and obtained successful outcomes for her clients. Margeaux specializes in business partnership disputes, commercial and residential landlord/tenant disputes, and contract disputes (franchise, partner, shareholder, non-compete, non-solicitation, trust and trademark to name a few).
Margeaux graduated magna cum laude from Bowling Green State University where she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in International Relations. Margeaux received her law degree from Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law. Margeaux has been recognized in the Super Lawyers – Rising Stars Ed. From 2013 – 2018. Margeaux has lectured on consumer and commercial litigation issues throughout the country.
Margeaux grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and also resided in San Germán, Puerto Rico prior to moving to the Washington, DC area for law school. Margeaux enjoys spending time with her husband and twin boys, and in her spare time can be found cooking, and dabbling in her vegetable garden.

Case dropped with 48 hours notice
I wish that my experience with Ms. Thomas was as positive as the other reviews. I complained about the cost of what I felt to be an unnecessary conference call. Ms. Thomas requested a Zoom meeting to discuss my concerns and threatened that she would drop my case if I did not agree to the Zoom. I agre...

Working with The Thomas Law Office was the best decision I could have made. As a referral from our corporate legal team, the reputation of knowledge and representation stood to be accurate. I would highly recommend The Thomas Law Office for anyone that is considering mediation or arbitration.

Settled a lawsuit for us against a big law firm
I hired Ms Thomas after speaking to an arrogant lawyer who did not welcome my input and wanted a large retainer. Ms Thomas worked with us to resolve a contract dispute quickly. Time was of the essence as Plaintiff had placed a lien on our property which was due to close in 10 days. Ms Thomas welcomed...

Super quick response and process
I hired Dr Margeaux for the eviction process of my rental property in Fairfax county while I am located in CA. I got super quick responses from her for almost any emails I sent out. In addition, she closed the case in a very short time. Overall, I am very happy with her customer services and will ...
Margeaux Thomas's Lawyer Endorsements
"I highly endorse Margeaux. I have known Margeaux for many years and recently had the pleasure of collaborating with her and her team on a complex elder law and estate matter that led to litigation. She was responsive and attentive to our client's needs and ultimately secured a favorable settlement. Margeaux's professionalism and dedication made a significant difference in achieving a positive resolution to what was a very long case. I look forward to working with Margeaux and her team again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone needing skilled legal representation."
"I endorse this lawyer. We worked with one of her firm's lawyers, Bob Roseman on a church client's case and he was (and is) phenomenal! So is Margeaux. Bob made a complicated real estate matter very simple for our client to make a decision on a pending real estate transaction. Without his assistance, our client would have suffered a financial loss in the sale of over $150K. Both the client and I are so grateful for him providing excellent and timely advice, which helped our client maintain their financial interest and inspired them to establish some better record keeping. We would work with Bob (and Margeaux Thomas) again!"
"I have known Margeaux for several years. She knows what she does. She's professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. Her clients will benefit from her practical approach and zealous representation."
"I endorse this lawyer. We fought a hard case on opposing sides. She is very professional."
"Professional, courteous, experienced and well spoken. I strongly endorse Ms. Thomas and find her to be an asset not only to her clients, but to fellow attorneys in the community."
"I've consulted with Margeaux on multiple cases and therefore see the amount of effort she puts forth for every client. A smart, creative, responsive and resourceful lawyer who is a tireless advocate is a great find. One who truly cares about you and the outcome of your case is amazing. Margeaux is nothing short of that."

"I know Ms. Thomas on a professional and personal level. She is effective, experienced, professional, and pays close attention to detail. I am proud to call her a friend and fellow attorney. I endorse this lawyer."
"Margeuax is a highly skilled professional but she is also down to earth and can genuinely relate to people’s concerns. I have known her for several years. She has always been hard working and ambitious. Her prior work experience is top notch, as she has worked for some very reputable firms. Now, managing her own practice, she is dedicated to zealously advocating for individuals in tough positions, who are unable to move forward with their lives due to debt or consumer issues. I highly recommend Margeaux for any consumer protection, debt collection, or business case."
"Top-notch business attorney who is dedicated to client success."
"Margeaux is an excellent lawyer who is continuously focused on providing the best possible representation for her clients. I have tremendous respect for her legal ability and I have referred clients to her without hesitation."

She pays attention to details and spends time to learn the nuances of each case. I highly recommend her for consumer protection and small business litigation."
