I began my practice with Thomason Hendrix right out of law school.  At that time, I handled insurance defense, some domestic cases, and medical malpractice defense.  I stayed home for eleven years to raise my children and returned to Thomason Hendrix in 2004 in a part-time capacity.  My practice is part of a team approach in which I focus solely on defending physicians who have been sued in healthcare liability actions.  My role is to obtain and work with physician experts who will support the defense of the case, to be a liaison with our defendant physician,  to work on discovery and other motions, to work with my team in preparing the case for trial, and to provide office support while my team is in court on the case.  In 2013, Thomason Hendrix merged with Lewis King and became Lewis Thomason and I have continued my practice in this statewide firm.
