Following a 40-year career as a civil litigation trial lawyer, Brad Thomas joined Judicate West as a mediator in 2018. He participated in hundreds of mediations throughout California as a practicing attorney and has handled a wide array of cases, including personal injury (automobile accidents, defective products and dangerous conditions of property), employment (wrongful termination, harassment, discrimination, wage/hour), insurance coverage/bad faith and business disputes.
