Attorney Information

Overview

After graduating from law school, Tom started working on insurance defense cases. He gained a reputation as a skilled trial lawyer, handling various types of cases such as car accidents, slip-and-falls, arsons, construction claims and products liability. Tom's ability to connect with jurors led other attorneys to refer clients with personal injury claims to him.

Tom has successfully represented clients on both sides of the courtroom. He sincerely believes that trying cases from both perspectives allows him to more thoroughly and objectively guide his clients through litigation. His experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants, along with his reputation for reasonableness, has led to a successful practice as a mediator.

At a young age, Tom achieved an AV Preeminent* rating through Martindale-Hubbell, which he still holds. He has been acknowledged in The Best Lawyers in America publication and was nominated for the esteemed position of 2020 President of the Kentucky Bar Association. Additionally, he has served as a Special Justice to the Kentucky Supreme Court and had the privilege of writing the opinion.

Tom is an active alumnus of the University of Kentucky J. David Rosenberg College of Law. He serves as a director for the College of Law Alumni Board. He was the president of the Alumni Association from 1997-2000. Tom is involved in the Bowling Green community, serving on various boards such as Crimestoppers, Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), Rotary, and Leadership Bowling Green Alumni Association. In 2020, he had the honor of serving as the president of the Kentucky Bar Association.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
