About Thomas
Biography
I have been practicing in Washington State for over 40 years. My commitment to representing injured workers has not only included representing injured workers but also representing the Trial Lawyers on behalf of Labor in legislative committees. In the past, I was Chair of the Washington State Trial Lawyers Workers' Compensation Section. I have spoken at numerous Workers' Compensation seminars and continuing legal education seminars on how to represent injured workers. I have regularly been rated by my peers as one of the top Worker Compensation lawyers in the state as noted in different publications; Super Lawyer Magazine and, Seattle Metropolitan Magazine.
I have represented injured workers not only at the Board level, but I have relentlessly pursued their benefits in numerous Superior Court trials, and in appeals to the Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court. Most recently winning a case in the Court of Appeals after four years of litigation after my client was denied benefits by the Department, the Board, and Superior Court.
I received my B.A. from the University of Washington in 1977 and my J.D. from Gonzaga University Law School three years later.

Great services
My lawyer helped me with a car accident injury. He helped me with my doctor, my bills, and he helped me get the highest compensation. I will definitely recommend him to my relatives and my friends...
