Chambers describes Hicks Thomas as an “accomplished team of commercial litigators with a wealth of trial experience.” 

A firm client described the firm as “a nimble group of real trial lawyers” who have “quality legal minds and capable hands.” The client went on to say that the firm “has a very strong bench of attorneys.” 

A second client told Chambers researchers, “Hicks Thomas provides a high level of analysis of complex legal issues. The team has superb intellect and writing skills, and remarkable insight and ability to sift through complexities.” 

Mr. Thomas, in his ninth year to be recognized by Chambers, is known for representing both defendants and plaintiffs in complex commercial litigation across a wide range of industries. 

“John is an excellent trial attorney,” said a Hicks Thomas client. 

Another client told Chambers, “John Thomas is a brilliant strategist. He commands respect from the client and from adversaries and is extremely experienced. He knows the judges and the law and can take a big-picture view.” 

Ms. Ervin, known for her experience handling complex litigation concerning the energy, construction, and insurance sectors, is marking her third year on the Chambers guide.
