ABOUT DAVID THOMPSON

As a lawyer, I care about people and I am called to service. Success starts with empathy and engaging clients on a basic human level. When clients know and believe I care, clients can trust. With trust, I can provide creative solutions to match specific client needs and interests. You can trust that I have the skills to fight and win. I am deeply proud of my twelve years of service in the military as a lawyer. I possess the experience and creativity to overcome problems while under pressure. My years of litigation experience (over 40 trials) as a prosecutor, defense counsel, and as an attorney for victims, have sharply honed my ability to understand a case from all perspectives. I have practiced law on a global scale, including some of the most austere environments imaginable. My recent experience training future generations of litigators as a criminal law professor at the premiere military legal institution has further refined my trial litigation skills and passion for advocacy. A healthy organizational culture matters to me. I am passionate about dedicating my services to an organization that cares about its people. Winning organizations believe in building community, have a shared purpose, and develop their employees. People work harder for employers and leaders who fight for them in return. The best teams build a diverse bench and challenge themselves with new ideas and view points.
