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.

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. I felt comfortable talking with him about the merits of my case and never felt he had his own personal agenda. He listened to my con...
