Emily G. Thomas
Emily Thomas focused her legal career on aiding clients with special needs and disabilities. Her first interaction between the law and injury occurred while in high school, when her mother became disabled.
Based on her personal experiences and those of her clients, Emily believes that the judicial system often seems complex and intimidating to people with special needs and disabilities. Her goal is to help clients with special needs understand their rights and their case.
Prior to college, Emily assisted traumatic brain injured individuals with their financial, healthcare and legal matters. She continued to assist the disabled during law school helping represent clients before administrative law judges in Social Security disability cases.
Following graduation from law school and admission to the Michigan Bar, Emily began her career as an attorney at a leading medical malpractice firm investigating birth trauma cases. During Emily’s years of practice, she assisted in obtaining numerous multi-million dollar results.
Over the course of her career, Emily drafted appeals to the Michigan Court of Appeals, the Michigan Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court. Emily also is involved in drafting amicus briefs to the Supreme Court of Michigan regarding cases of importance to the clients she serves.
In the state of Michigan, Emily currently serves on the Supreme Court Committee regarding Civil Jury Instructions, and the State Bar Negligence Section Council.
