Excellent lawyer & law firm
I have had the misfortune to need a personal injury attorney three times. The first two were awful experiences I am happy to forget. But, when I was rear ended by a truck in Mesquite and tore some cartilage in my knee, I went looking for my third law firm and found Thompson Law. I chose them because ...
Ryan Thompson
Replied last July 03, 2019Tiffany, Thanks for the 5-star rating of Thompson Law and our work on your Mesquite car accident case! Also, thank you for your recognition of the client service you received from our firm. Providing the best client service in the personal injury industry truly is our goal, and I'm happy to hear we delivered that for you on your case. Our Managing Partner, Ryan L. Thompson, has made it Thompson Law's mission to represent all of the firm’s clients with complete dedication, professionalism and a smile. Mr. Thompson's commitment to his clients is largely the result of his family's experience with a highly traumatic personal injury, as his own mother was hit by a commercial vehicle - a fully loaded cement truck - and almost died when he was a young boy. Thus, he's rather uniquely able to empathize with his clients. Thanks again for choosing Thompson Law. Best, Zack Thompson, CEO

Thompson Law was great for us after my Mom and me were hit by an 18 wheeler near Dallas. Mom’s knee was real hurt and needed surgery, and I had a concussion from hitting my head on the dashboard. But they were really friendly and helped us get the care we needed during a hard time for us, so I’ll b...

Replied last July 03, 2019We know the experience of being in a wreck with an 18-wheeler is particularly terrifying due to the often tragic outcome of such situations. The physical, financial and legal implications are significant in 18 wheeler wrecks, and appreciate you giving Thompson Law the opportunity to guide you through this traumatic experience. We strive to educate our clients on the process, properly set expectations, and guide them thru every step along the way, so they can focus on what matters most: getting better. Thank you for the endorsement of our team. Best, Zack Thompson, CEO

Great Firm!
I am so glad I retained Thompson Law. Jesenia handled my case well and accomplished things I would not be able to accomplish on my own. All my medical bills were paid & they were patient with me getting better before proceeding with settlement of my case. I would highly recommend this firm.
Ryan Thompson
Replied last May 24, 2019Kimelyn, Thanks for taking the time to rate and review my firm, and for recognizing my paralegal Jesenia's work on your rear end accident case in Plano, TX. Jesenia is a huge asset to Thompson Law, and it sounds like you were very pleased with the service you received from her. Thanks again for choosing Thompson Law, and let me know if you, a family member, or friend ever needs our help again. If they do, feel free to have them request Jesenia on their case, and I'll make it happen. Best, Ryan Thompson
