Mr. Thompson has practiced law since November 1997.  He spent the first five years of his practice pursuing justice for injured individuals, before transitioning into a business litigation practice.  Over the next 14 years, he gained extensive experience and insight into the operations and legal practices of various businesses, including insurance companies.  Mr. Thompson spent nearly 10 years as a shareholder of a large, highly respected Texas law firm.  During that time, in addition to litigating complex disputes between businesses, he spent significant time litigating insurance coverage disputes involving property and casualty insurance, as well as, health insurance, life insurance, and ERISA disability insurance matters.

With the benefit of 19 years of legal insight, Mr. Thompson returned to his roots of representing individuals and now concentrates his practice on helping disabled workers recover long term disability insurance benefits that their insurance company wrongfully denied/terminated.
