When I was younger I would tell my Mom and Dad, "I want to be President of the United States". They would always then ask "why?" and my answer was always the same -- "because I want to make a difference." As I grew older the how may have changed several times, but the why never did. I always knew I was going to make an impact for others, and their lives. I now know how I am going to be that difference for others. I advocate with strength and commitment in the law for my clients. That is what public service means to me. I am privileged to help guide my clients to an answer and sometimes be the answer for my client and their family. To me, the strength of public service is helping make the tough decisions that support individuals.. During my college years at Radford University, I saw a need among my fellow students. So I opened a business to help fill that need, and with that, I opened my first restaurant. I was successful at this business and felt accomplished that I created an option that became popular and helped other students. I continued down this path until I realized I had gotten away from what stirred me, my flame to help serve others. I told my wife I wanted to get back to that part of me and said I was going to the police academy. She supported my decision and I signed up for the police academy not knowing what kind of roller-coaster I was joining.. After nearly seven years of service and countless stories I could tell, just not in 500 words or less, I realized law enforcement was not where my journey was to end. During my first several years as a policeman, I participated in numerous community events. I helped with food drives, organized youth athletics, spoke at community meetings, and much more. During my last two years in law enforcement, I was a detective and I saw a deeper need and hurt within the community. This vision came about, in part, because I was now dealing directly with both victims and those charged with a crime. These interactions provided me with the knowledge that in troubled times individuals just needed assurance, guidance, and sometimes just a good listener. I saw the resolution that the court system offered and more than ever I wanted to be part of that resolution. I believe that I can offer something unique and inspiring to the field of law when given the opportunity. A new kind of lawyer for a changing world.. My varied background as business owner, law enforcement officer, and now versatile lawyer uniquely qualifies me to represent a broad range of clients. This diverse clientele includes persons arrested for serious crimes, those contemplating divorce, entrepreneurs forming corporations, and seriously injured victims of accidents caused by negligence.. My hobbies include spending time with my wife Sarah and two children, riding motorcycles, watching the Washington Capitals play hockey, working out, listening to books/podcasts, grilling and cooking outside, snowboarding, traveling, playing the drums, and attending Temple Baptist Church throughout the week.

I am a life-long resident of Wilson County, NC. I am the youngest son of a great criminal defense attorney, Allen Thomas. I attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for my undergraduate degree and Campbell University School of Law for my JD. Just out of law school, I worked as an Assistant District Attorney for the 7th Prosecutorial District and was assigned to Superior Court in Edgecombe County.

Blake specializes in representing individuals and businesses in bankruptcy cases filed under Chapters 7, 11, 12, and 13 of the Bankruptcy Code, but often, he is able to find a resolution that allows his client to avoid filing bankruptcy.

Soon thereafter, he and his wife relocated to North Carolina, where he and his family, which now includes a daughter and a son, are happy to call home. Blake and his family now live in the Raleigh area and love the outdoors, music, and cooking.
