Bio
Tom Bazemore works tirelessly to learn everything he can about his clients and the challenges they face. He thoroughly investigates their operations, their employees and their policies. In the areas of fraud, bad faith, product liability defense and insurance defense, Tom brings extensive litigation experience and a proven track record to the representative process.
Since joining the firm in 1996, Tom has successfully defended clients in various trial venues at both the State and Federal levels, in both rural and urban court systems.
