Paul Rice Thomson III

Paul Thomson and his staff are without a doubt the most dedicated and efficient people to handle anyone's Personal Injury claims. Almost two years ago, I lost my youngest son due to negligence in one of our local stores. The credit for finding the Thomson Law Firm actually goes to him, as he started... the claim process shortly after his accident. Before he could satisfy the case, my son lost his life as a result of complications brought on by his fall. As soon as I was able to begin seeking help for seeing his case through, I made arrangements to go see Mr. Thomson to find out how I could follow through with my son's case. Long story short, it got to the point where everything Mr. Thomson did led us into a brick wall, and we both agreed that we probably weren't going to get anywhere with the claim. I thanked him for the time he had invested and agreed it was far too complicated for me to continue to be of help, as I was still in a state of devastation from my loss. However, months later, on a Sunday afternoon, I received a call from Mr. Thomson who was working in his office. He called to say he had been looking back into my son's case and said that he was going to try a different approach. I was stunned! Who ever heard of an attorney digging out an old file and begin trying to see if he could bring my case to some sort of fruition. Once again, we met some stonewalls, and I accepted the fact that it was hopeless. Once again, I filed the possibility of ever resolving this case in the back of my mind. And, once again, on a Sunday evening several more months later, Mr. Thomson called again and sent several emails to let me know he had gotten the insurance company to settle the claim. I could not believe that this man, who didn't know me from Adam, once again had pulled my file and fought the fight until he acquired a settlement. So, people I want you to consider this; if you need a Personal Injury attorney, don't shop around. Go straight to the Thomson Law Firm in Roanoke, VA and experience for yourself the perseverance, dedication and timely fashion in which Mr. Thomson attacks each case, one as important as the next. Mr. Thomson, I am honored to have been served by you and your very efficient staff.

Beyond my wildest expectations! Mr. Thomson and his staff have changed my opinion of lawyers. I have had negative experiences with lawyers in the past: Not returning calls, never available, unrealistic promises, arrogant attitudes, etc. This certainly was NOT the case here. I was hit by an irrespo...nsible driver and my truck, an older truck that I inherited from my late father, was totaled. Though cited as being responsible for the wreck, the other driver provided a false story to his insurance company. The insurance company, even after obtaining the facts, witness statements, police reports, etc was indifferent to my situation. I was paid a pittance for the truck, and I had to undergo back surgery. I am from North Carolina's coast, so shopping for a lawyer in the Blue Ridge Mtns wasn't easy and luckily a called a lawyer that,in turn, recommended Paul Thomson. I spoke with Mr. Thomson on the phone and then later in person. He agreed to take the case but made no extraordinary promises other than to represent me fairly and do his best to obtain fair compensation for my injuries and loss. I had really hoped just to get enough to fully restore my dad's old truck. They far exceeded my expectations. The phones were always answered, and with the utmost of courtesy. My calls were always returned promptly if Mr. Thomson was unavailable at the time. Paperwork never lingered on desks or inboxes. I was kept informed every step of the entire ordeal. Mr. Thomson, having once worked for insurance companies, was tenacious in dealing with with both mine, the other driver's and my health insurance. Their office operates like a precision watch. Last week Mr. Thomson called to get my opinion on a settlement offer. I was prepared to be disappointed. I certainly wasn't. Yesterday, we picked up my check and I still cannot believe how much more he got for me than what I could ever have dreamed for. The Thomson Law Firm will treat you with respect and dignity as if you were family, make no false promises, and provide consistent, professional representation to obtain the compensation you deserve. I will never forget them nor will I ever be able to thank them enough.
