I always try to:

I’m not like most Austin lawyers. I was recruited out of law school by a high-stakes New York City law firm, and I spent the first several years of my career there, serving elite global business clients and learning the practice of law from top national lawyers. You deserve the same quality representation and I will bring those standards of excellence to bear for you.. Your case is unique. Working closely together, we’ll define your goals and craft an innovative strategy to achieve them. If civility and reason don’t get the other side to see things our way, then we’ll go to court, and they better be ready.. I’m an advisor, confidant, and problem solver for people in difficult situations. If you have a criminal or family law problem in the Austin area, I can help. I’m fearless in the courtroom, tough in negotiations, experienced in complex financial matters, and passionate about helping my clients to achieve their goals.. If you’re facing a divorce, criminal charges, or a difficult family issue, I’m here to guide you through the process and fight for you each step of the way.. ____________________________________________________________________. While on vacation to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, I fell in love with Africa and decided to return as more than a tourist. So, in 2013, I moved to Namibia, Africa. There, I counseled a United Nations-funded organization working with rural farmers and taught high school physics and chemistry. I also met my wife, a native Austinite, while living and working in Africa.. Since returning to my wife’s hometown of Austin in 2015, I have practiced exclusively criminal and family law: First, as a Texas criminal prosecutor. Now, as a private attorney who solves criminal and family law problems as the Managing Attorney at Thompson Law.

I'm the managing partner of a firm started in 2006 that I formed after being a partner at a downtown Austin firm.  Our firm does real estate, commercial litigation, collections, creditors' rights in bankruptcy, business formations, HOA law and business law. I am also a licensed real estate agent and own a real estate brokerage for both residential and commercial real estate transactions.

I was born in Washington, D.C., and spent the first 10 years of my life on the east coast before moving to Texas in 1990. We settled in League City, Texas, where I went to elementary through high school before attending the University of Texas at Austin. In 2002, I finished my undergraduate education at Baylor University, where I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism with a concentration in Public Relations. In 2006, I obtained my J.D. from the University of Tulsa and was admitted to the Texas Bar in 2007.. My loving and beautiful wife, Jill, is a talented physical therapist. We moved to Austin for the rich history, scenic views, and beautiful weather and enjoy how active and alive the city is. We spend our free time running around Town Lake, checking out the local music and arts scene, and enjoying the local parks and lakes. Golf, barbeques, and watching football are my favorite pastimes.. Being able to represent individuals who have suffered an injury or other loss as a result of the irresponsibility of another was my motivation for going to law school. I love what I do and take pride in the fact that my education and efforts are used for the betterment of our society, for the protection of our laws, and for maintaining the integrity of our civility.

I love Texas.  Part of my childhood memories belong to the great NYC, but the majority of my life has been tied into the state of Texas.  I have lived in Houston, Austin, Lubbock,  El Paso, Dallas, San Antonio, back to Lubbock, back to El Paso and now Austin and El Paso.  Each city has impacted my life in memorable ways.. My firm has put up with me for over 13 years :) . I say that only because they have have watched me travel through a majority of their offices due to my husband's military committment.  Time really does fly by when you work at a firm that treats you like family.  My background makes me unique in my field as I understand both the legal and accounting side of personal injury.  Before I became an Attorney, I worked in a very large medical system dealing with accounting and finance.  I understand numbers and the lingo which in turn helps my client understand their case and their case value.  Some firms don't undertand how health insurance works or what balance billing means which in turn costs you more money down the road.  Medical expenses have increased drastically.  Health Insurance has gotten so complicated that most people do not understand how their health insurance works.  Doctor's medical bills are complicated to understand.  I am here to bridge together all those things and much much more.. I am an Attorney, a counselor, an advisor and a friend.  At the end of the day I will be verys straight forward forward with you as I do with my family and my friends. I look forward to assisting you on your personal injury matter. Please call my office to schedule your free consultation or any questions you may have.. -Linh Thai

I love practicing personal injury law, and I am good at it. My focus is my ability to tell your story. This is what we're good at.. I teach other plaintiff lawyers in Texas how to present their clients' damages in the most effective way. I tend to look at cases visually and get to know each of my clients and their families in order to understand what the collision or the injury has done to their world. Often the contrast between pre-collision and post-collision is dramatic. If I can show that contrast, then the insurance companies realize that the case is quite real, and they realize that they now have an opportunity to help you. If they balk at that opportunity to help, then we give that opportunity to a jury.. The effectiveness of how we tell your story is what will make a jury empathize with what has happened to you; juries will help when they understand the harms you have suffered.. If you have been the victim of a drunk or reckless driver, if you have been hit by someone who was not looking out for your motorcycle, if you have been t-boned by someone not paying attention to the traffic light because a text was more important than your safety, I can and I will help you.

We are the proud parents of a boy, born in 2011, and a girl, born in 2014.
