  • Family Law Attorney Joins Willig, Williams & Davidson

A domestic relations and family law attorney, Thomas is committed to helping clients through the hardest times in their lives with compassion and sensitivity. He uses his keen legal insight to guide families through complex legal matters, ensuring they have the best possible representation as they weather some of the most emotionally difficult experiences they will ever encounter. With experience in divorce, child custody, child and spousal support and other sensitive family law matters, Thomas provides meaningful advocacy at times when clients need support the most.

Before joining Willig, Williams & Davidson, Tom served as an associate attorney at a private firm, where he also worked on matters involving criminal law, traffic citations, and bankruptcy. As a law clerk for the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Glenn B. Bronson, he drafted more than 55 opinions, primarily in homicide cases, for Post Conviction Relief Act appeals and appeals from judgment of sentence. While a law school student, he served as an intern at plaintiff’s-side employment discrimination firm Sidney L. Gold & Associates, P.C., where he helped clients fight for fair and equitable treatment.
