About Thomas
Biography
I have enjoyed the practice of law for more than 35 years. In that time I have had the privilege of serving thousands of excellent clients. I have had the opportunity to litigate on behalf of many people who would not have been treated fairly had they not retained the services of an attorney.
Throughout my career I have made it a point to share my skills and experiences with other attorneys, ecucating them on the finer points of litigating complex cases.
If you would like to talk to me about your situation, please give me a call and we'll see if an attorney can help.

Simply Superb!
Mr. Althauser is a truly excellent attorney. He's "old school" in the best sense of the word--proficient, thorough, well-mannered, and courteous. He gives you the confidence that you chose the right attorney every time you talk to him.

Top Notch Attorney!
My wife and I have consulted with Mr. Althauser on numerous occasions over the years. He always knows the right answer and gets back to us right away. His advice concerning a recent contract was invaluable to us. I am very happy to have him as my personal attorney.
