Paul Rice Thomson III

We hired Mr. Thomson after my husband was t-boned last year by a woman running a red light. We had never been involved in a serious accident so we had many questions about dealing with the insurance companies. After speaking with Paul, we knew he would help us sort things out. He kept dealing with th...e insurance companies until we reached a fair settlement. He and his staff were a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend Mr. Thomson if you want someone who is caring and willing to work hard for you!

Paul Thompson & Tommy Joe Williams share the building/offices and both men are two of the best, most trustworthy, capable, knowledgeable & dependable lawyers/men that I have known and had the great opportunity of having represent me when I was "between the rock and hard place". Paul has his specia...lities and one is dealing with insurance companies who are responsible to pay their client's claims. Paul knows the ropes thru years of dealing with these people and their companies. They are determined to pay the least and Paul is determined to get you all the policy and law will allow. Often times one should travel the "go to court" route to get fair treatment by these companies. Some times settlement is the best and quickest way. Paul can and did guide me accordingly securing for me a 'better by far' settlement than I would have imagined. I recommend Paul to anyone who has need of dealing with their insurance company for any reason!

I highly recommend Paul to anyone who is looking for a PI lawyer. I had two motorcycle accidents in the same year and between dealing with the insurance company and the medical bills I was starting to drown. That's when a friend recommended Paul to me. From the very first meeting with Paul I immediat...ely felt at ease and knew my case would be taken care of. I was able to focus on recovering from my injuries instead of the medical bills. My cases were settled much quicker than I would have ever thought. The settlements were more than I imagined and my wife and I were able to put a very generous down payment on our first house. All of my medical bills were paid and I didn't have to go through the headache of dealing with the insurance companies. Overall my experience with Paul and his team was exceptional!

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.
