Thomas earned his JD from the University of Chicago Law School whose enivironment of ideological diversity inculcated in him the ability to see legal issues from many different perspectives. The most enduring lesson Thomas acquired from his legal studies is that effective legal representation requires not only the ability to strongly argue on behalf of the client, but also the ability to understand and predict the arguments made by the opposition.. Outside of the law, Thomas has been involved with non-profit organizations rebuilding houses in New Orleans after Katrina, and environmental protection efforts after the BP oil spill. He is also a self-described "amateur musicologist" with an interest in pre-War jazz and blues, and a novice photographer.

Not all lawyers enjoy practice.. To stand in a courtroom and argue to a judge or a jury makes many nervous.. Kara Samuels is unique in that regard. She loves to practice and knows that each of her clients has a unique story to tell.. Though originally from St. Louis, she fell in love with New Orleans when attending Loyola University. Majoring in Drama and Speech, she learned the art of storytelling and effective communication . This is probably best evidenced by the firm’s track record before the courts of appeal. In fact, Kara was recently given an award by the Louisiana Association for Justice for having won 4 cases before the Louisiana Supreme Court in one year.. She earned her law degree from Loyola University, graduating as a William L. Crowe, Sr. Scholar and as a Law Review student. Her passion for helping individual people seek  justice led her to pursue personal injury law as a trial lawyer.. The complexity of the cases that the firm handles involving medical, injury, and products liability is a challenge that Kara  finds rewarding. It has driven her to build her  own firm and establish a strong professional reputation , while maintaining the balance required of a working mother.. Kara believes that an important ruling is lost before the trial court, it must be appealed.  Appellate work is laborious and takes a tremendous amount of skill.  The firm’s strong track record before both the trial courts and the courts of appeal has resulted in referrals from members of the bench and bar.. As a member of the New Orleans Bar Association, the Jefferson Bar Association, the Louisiana State Bar Association, the Federal Bar Association, the American Bar Association, the American Association for Justice, and the Louisiana Association for Justice (LAJ), Kara has  a fierce devotion to her cases and a diligent work ethic that leaves no stone unturned.
