I am dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome in every case for which I am retained. My wife and I both practice in the same law firm so we are able to dedicate an extraordinary amount of time to our practice and our clients. I always want to win and do not ever want to settle on providing "average" representation. There are creative solutions to most legal problems and our goal is to achieve the ultimate outcome you desire. We will use all tools available to acheive your goals.
When I am not working, I strive to be the best father and husband I can be to my three children and my wife.
I enjoy guns, studying the intricacies of the stock market, fine scotch whiskey and, on occasion, a full-bodied cigar.
While we are located in a rural setting, we make strong use of all available technology in our offices. We are a modern and aggressive law firm, with a rich history dating back to 1883.
I strongly believe that our attorneys and their combined experience are second to none in Central Illinois.

Poor communication and representation
Minimal communication and updates. Most often, he would not answer questions via email & not always in person. He did not represent our interests to our satisfaction even after several discussions. He did not explain his caseload or low priority of our type of case until he accepted it, and we were w...

Refreshingly honest
Mr. Thomas was very honest from the start to finish of my legal matter. He explained the financial requirements of my case thoroughly. More importantly, he told me about his caseload and that it would take time to get to my work, but that my work would be done correctly. This gave me a choice--I ch...

Unwilling to argue my case
Extremely poor communication. Would not return calls or emails. No updates at all. Would not use any evidence we had to fight and support my case. Backed down every single time from conflict with opposing attorney. Failed to set up court dates. However he cashed his payments from me every month.

Great review for Luke Allen Thomas
I would strongly recommend Luke for anyone who needs an attorney. He listened to us and took what we said to heart. He was quick to respond to email and calls. We would hire him again if we ever needed an attorney.
