The firm, led by founder James Roswold, has spent decades positioning itself as a premier plaintiff practice. Their history includes a record-setting award in a Federal Tort Claims Act case involving the death of a child, a result that solidified their reputation for tackling complex, precedent-setting litigation. The team currently boasts nearly 200 years of combined legal experience.

Thomas, previously named Plaintiffs' Lawyer of the Year by Missouri Lawyers Media, brings a track record of high-value courtroom successes to the partnership. Roswold noted that the addition is designed to accelerate the firm's existing trajectory rather than change its fundamental mission. For Thomas, the move represents an opportunity to leverage a collaborative environment focused on aggressive advocacy for victims of severe injury.
