From the 1976 Yuba City bus disaster, where 28 students were killed and 24 critically injured to the more recent Oakland Ghost Ship fire to holding Bank of America accountable for the mistreatment of social security recipients with a $1 billion verdict and all the cases in between, Tom’s been there and done that. Along the way he’s won every award available to a trial lawyer of his stature, been nominated to every significant invitation-only trial lawyer organization, and has made it a point to give back, mentoring and training the next generation of trial lawyers. Tom and colleague Bob Arns have helmed the University of San Francisco’s trial practice program for the last two decades. We also get the opportunity to discuss life challenges and their impacts. One of Tom’s sons suffered a spinal cord injury and another recently suffering a serious brain injury in a bike crash while Tom was preparing to try a serious brain injury bike crash case. Some of it is hard stuff, and yet not so dark as one might imagine. So please sit back and enjoy this broad and deep conversation with Tom.
