Based on decades of effective product liability defense, Lewis Thomason attorneys are recognized throughout the state, region, and country for their strong product liability defense practice, and we are well prepared to guide our clients through the maze of pretrial discovery and litigation.  We have served as lead counsel throughout the Southeast in federal and state courts, associated trial counsel, coordinating counsel, and national discovery counsel.  In addition to our core strength of experienced trial lawyers, we have a strong support staff of paralegals, secretaries, and information technology specialists who can manage large amounts of information in an efficient and cost-effective manner.  We also counsel corporate clients on claim prevention and risk assessment.

We have represented manufacturers of automobiles, recreational vehicles, personal watercraft, motorcycles, airplanes, power equipment, construction equipment, firearms, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and other toxic substances.  Our firm also represents manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers of products for the home, including ladders and electrical outlets, and industrial products like boilers and presses.  We know how to develop a case plan and themes and target discovery toward the development of those issues.  We also have knowledge of jurisdictional issues that are critical in helping the client decide how to conclude a case, such as which jurisdictions are not particularly “manufacturer-friendly.”  Because of our comfort in the courtroom, we are adept at helping our clients evaluate whether to go to trial from a position of strength, even when the risk is significant.

Lewis Thomason is a law firm proud to have a longstanding tradition of excellence and be squarely poised for a successful future. We are committed to providing a level of service that builds respect and establishes long-term relationships. Combining expertise with experience, our firm offers a wide range of legal services and strives to create an atmosphere of trust and communication between our clients and lawyers.

We work diligently to resolve conflicts and create enterprise opportunities for our clients. We respond to our clients promptly and clearly, explaining matters in common, understandable language rather than complex legal jargon. By meeting clients’ legal needs thoroughly and taking care to avoid pitfalls that could lead to unnecessary litigation, Lewis Thomason offers exceptional representation at reasonable costs.
