Practice Areas
Auto Accidents are a foundational part of the firm’s personal injury practice, covering all vehicle collisions and the full range of resulting injuries, from soft-tissue damage to permanent disability.
Construction Accidents receive dedicated attention from a firm that understands the layered liability structure of construction projects. When someone is injured by a crane accident, a fall, an electrocution, falling debris, a machinery malfunction, a vehicle collision, or a caught-in or caught-between incident on a construction site, the firm investigates general contractors, subcontractors, property owners, property managers, architects, equipment manufacturers, and maintenance companies. New York’s scaffold law creates additional liability for certain construction site falls, and the firm’s experience with New York construction claims gives it specific expertise in these cases. Construction accident claims can proceed through workers compensation, through a third-party lawsuit, or through both simultaneously, and the firm navigates both pathways for clients.
Medical Malpractice cases address the harm that results when healthcare providers deviate from accepted standards of care. These claims require medical expert analysis of the treatment provided and testimony establishing both the deviation and the causal link to the patient’s injuries.
Civil Rights Violations encompass claims arising from police misconduct, unlawful arrests, excessive force, and other violations of constitutionally protected rights.
Premises Liability holds property owners accountable when dangerous conditions on their property cause visitors to suffer injury.
Wrongful Death allows surviving family members to pursue accountability and compensation when negligence costs someone their life.
DUI/DWI Defense is one of the firm’s defining practice areas. New York and New Jersey both apply a 0.08% BAC threshold for drivers over 21, a 0.04% limit for commercial drivers, and Zero Tolerance laws governing drivers under 21. The firm’s defense strategy includes challenging the basis for the initial traffic stop, questioning the reliability and administration of sobriety tests, and working to suppress evidence obtained through procedures that did not comply with legal requirements. Thompson’s 20-year trial record in DUI cases, in which no client has been convicted, stands as the most direct evidence of what that approach produces.
Drug Offenses defense extends the firm’s criminal practice to possession, distribution, and trafficking charges across New York and New Jersey.
Violent Crimes defense covers assault, robbery, and related charges where the stakes include significant incarceration and a lasting criminal record.
