About Thomas
Biography
Thomas J. Lyman, founder of The Lyman Firm, has never been comfortable in the passenger’s seat. From the racetrack to the courtroom, Thomas has spent his career with both hands on the wheel, guiding his clients to successful, effective resolutions. He knows exactly what it takes to navigate complex and contentious situations, both as an experienced litigator and an accomplished racing driver. His approach to counseling his clients is the same as if he were bringing his racecar under the checkered flag—hands on, passionate, and always seeking the best route forward.
Thomas focuses his practice on representing clients—or, as he likes to think of them, extended family—who have unfortunately been injured due to the wrongdoing of others. He pursues these matters on whatever track is required to succeed; to that end, Thomas has litigated numerous cases in both state and federal court.

Less Stressed
After my car accident not only was I hurt and scared, but loosing my vehicle jeopardized my work and school. John and Tom really helped ease my stress and worry about the accident. They made it possible for me to focus on the important things like my wellness, career and classes.

Professional, Compassionate, and Effective
After "interviewing" several personal injury attorneys following my major car accident, it was clear to me that Thomas Lyman was the only attorney suitable for the job.
