In her more than 46 years of trial, arbitration and appellate practice, Patricia H. Thompson, Esq., has seen it all, having carved out a highly successful career as a woman in what was traditionally a male-dominated profession. Her desire to become an attorney arose somewhat by chance.
"As a senior in college in 1972, I met a woman lawyer who changed my life simply by inviting a group of college girls to lunch at her home," explained Patricia. "Watching and listening to her during that lunch, I realized she was what I could be and wanted to be—an attorney—even though I had no other legal role models. This propelled me to enter law school, and eventually a profession that I love to this day."
