Don't hire for divorce If you're considering Thomas Austin Thompson for your divorce, be aware. He had no discernible game plan for my case and demonstrated no effective negotiation skills, essentially just passing along the other side's offers. He seemed easily intimidated, offering no real pushback. The most shocking part was the billing: he tried to charge me $4000 for what felt like no work at all. This included a nearly $400 bill for a single email he sent. It's clear he's willing to take advantage of clients in a difficult situation without providing meaningful assistance. I had no choice but to terminate his services. I strongly advise against hiring Thomas Austin Thompson for divorce representation. Choose the review that feels most appropriate for where you plan to post it. Each option clearly communicates your experience and concerns.

Biography

As a partner in a law firm that has been in existence for more than 100 years, I represent and counsel clients on various legal issues ranging from simple estate planning to complex litigation matters. Having spent a significant amount of time as a trial lawyer, including my six years as the Williams County Prosecuting Attorney, I enjoy being in the courtroom and representing clients in litigation matters, including personal injury/wrongful death cases, domestic relations and commercial/civil litigation. In addition to my trial practice, I also represent several governmental entities in Northwest Ohio, acting as Village Solicitor for the Villages of Pioneer, Edon, Fayette and Blakeslee. As Village Solicitor, I am responsible for reviewing and approving contracts and advising my clients to keep them up to date and in compliance with their ever changing legal obligations. I am also a trained mediator and a skilled negotiator having settled millions of dollars of personal injury cases during my career without the need to proceed to trial.
