With over 30 years of experience, the lawyers of Thomas & Wan have the knowledge and commitment to helping you and your family. We understand the serious physical, emotional and financial difficulties faced by injured people and their families.

Thomas & Wan is not a factory where paralegals churn through thousands of files each year for quick settlements. Rather, we carefully evaluate every case before taking it on. Once a case is selected, we aggressively fight for our clients to obtain the maximum monetary recovery possible. If a case cannot be settled, we take it to trial. Thomas & Wan does not “flip” its cases to other firms to handle. We handle your case directly and consider the practice of law a profession, not a business.

LINDA LAURENT THOMAS

Since 1987, Linda Laurent Thomas has pursued aggressive legal representation on behalf of injury victims in cases involving personal injuries and wrongful death, medical malpractice, automobile accidents and transportation injuries, work related injuries, environmental and pollution injuries, and defective products. Whether the wrongdoer is a Fortune 500 corporate giant, or a reckless and negligent driver, Thomas has dedicated her career to fighting for individuals to obtain the maximum amount of damages available under the law. Thomas closely supervises a staff of legal, administrative and technical personnel to ensure that every case that the firm takes on is handled with the highest level of care and attention. This representation involves all of the phases of a complex personal injury action: the early and thorough factual investigation of the case; the retention of the appropriate expert witnesses; a thorough case value assessment; aggressive pre-trial discovery; alternative dispute resolution; proactive negotiations; jury and bench trials; and appeals. She believes the right to a jury is of utmost importance to preserving the rights of individuals in this country. Linda Laurent Thomas is a graduate of South Texas College of Law in Houston and The University of Texas at Austin.
