The Teacher's Lawyer indeed!
If I had to describe B. A. Thomas in one word, it would be, "fearless." He fought the attorneys for the school district, the hearing officer and even challenged the Superintendent! Had it not been for Mr. Thomas' expertise, I would be out of my teaching job. His staff was friendly and professiona...
"I endorse this lawyer. A family member is an educator and she was targeted by a Cobb County school Principal after 10 years of exceptional service and admiration from students and parents. She was given the option of either resigning or being terminated which came with a scarlet letter and unsatisfactory record. She decided to contest the termination which was covered by local media and she hired Mr Thomas. He went the distance for her and while the initial trial went against her despite overwhelming support from the community of parents, students and similarly targeted educators, Mr Thomas still knew of other options. He was able to secure a settlement and clear her record to the best of his ability. She now works in another cointy and was named teacher of the year after being there for three years. He helped her salvage her career and continue being an educator. Well done Mr Thomas."
"I have known Borquaye and worked with him in connection with a number of Education/Administrative law matters for many years. We have been on opposing sides. He has also been a lawyer whom I have turned to for advice on numerous matters. He is extremely knowledgeable and he is a tireless advocate for his clients. For a number of years, he has been one of the foremost advocates for teachers and other professionals facing job termination or sanctions against their licenses. Borquaye has an excellent reputation and his clients are in extremely good hands."
