LinkedIn | Twitter Curriculum Vitae

Mr. Thomas opened his own practice immediately upon graduating law school in 2000 and quickly gravitated to civil litigation. For several years his practice was limited to representing Plaintiffs in varying types of civil litigation including personal injury, class actions and multi-district litigation. In January of 2008, Mr. Thomas accepted an offer to join the senior staff of the Kentucky Attorney General. Initially upon joining the office, he served as the director of the Office of Civil and Environmental Law, which was responsible for handling civil litigation on behalf of the Attorney General and the Commonwealth of Kentucky.  Only two months after joining the Attorney General’s office Mr. Thomas was promoted to a position as one of two Assistant Deputy Attorneys General. In that capacity he supervised the Offices of Civil and Environmental Law, Medicaid Fraud, Consumer Protection and Rate Intervention. Mr. Thomas also handled a docket of civil litigation that included both high profile and complex litigation, defended prosecutors and judges in both federal and state courts, served as the OAG’s ethics officer and was responsible for representing prosecutors and attorneys in the OAG in disciplinary matters before the Kentucky Bar Association.

In January of 2011, Mr. Thomas returned to private practice and established Thomas Law Offices which has grown to a firm of twelve lawyers with offices in Louisville, KY;  Cincinnati, OH; Columbia, MO and Chicago, IL. The firm’s attorneys are primarily focused solely on civil litigation in the areas of personal injury and business litigation. Mr. Thomas now represents clients in courtrooms, not only all across Kentucky, but in many courts across the nation.

Mr. Thomas is a frequent lecturer and has conducted seminars throughout the country on trial skills, ethics and technology, including the use of mobile technology, iPads, litigation management and trial preparation software. He is a cum laude graduate of Salmon P. Chase College of law and obtained his undergraduate degree from Georgetown College.
