Additional Information:

Vic Thomas is litigation counsel with the King & Spalding’s Houston office and is a member of the firm’s Texas Appellate Team that, over the past six years, has reduced verdicts and judgments against the firm’s clients by many millions of dollars. He has over 25 years of appellate and trial experience in both personal injury and business litigation. He has been board certified in civil appellate law with the Texas Board of Legal Specialization of the State Bar of Texas since 1988. He served as a Research Attorney for the Fourteenth Court of Appeals in Houston, Texas from 1983 through 1985, assigned only to complex civil appeals. Mr. Thomas uses his insider’s knowledge of the appellate decision-making process to structure his briefs. He has received an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell for the past 12 years.

Mr. Thomas often works on appeals that are referred to him by trial lawyers outside of his firm. In fact, a prominent trial attorney with another firm wrote in a letter: “I have told my partners that they should never do an appellate brief without Mr. Thomas’ assistance.”

Mr. Thomas also represents clients at trial when there is a potential for a large judgment, providing daily trial reports of any reversible error. He assists at trial with preserving complaints for appeal, venire challenges, evidentiary objections, expert challenges, jury charges, and motions for directed verdict. During the last three years, he has participated in six jury trials (totaling 17 weeks).
