Car accident
Honest, to the point and a pleasant lawyer to work with. Keeps in touch frequently and explains everything in detail. I was recommended to consult with Mr. Thompson from another lawyer I have used in the past.

Paul Rice Thomson III's Lawyer Endorsements
"Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Thomson is a true professional. His clients like him and his opponents respect him."
"I endorse Paul Thomson. We litigated against each other for two+ years in a major case involving unique product liability issues and discovery challenges. Paul was an exceptional advocate, creative and relentless. I found him to be several steps ahead of his peers. He was very effective in everything he did, and though I didn't enjoy it at the time I can certainly completely admire his abilities and approach now that the case is over! I also credit Paul for his professionalism, and note that despite the challenges he creates for opposing counsel on the merits, he is never unpleasant or unreasonable to deal with on a personal level."
