Story

Michelle C. Thomas, Esq. is a veteran trial lawyer and the founder of M.C. Thomas & Associates, PC, a premier divorce and family law firm serving Washington, D.C., Virginia and Maryland. Michelle has spent her career handling complex divorce litigation, high net worth divorce, and contested custody cases for traditional and non-traditional families.

Michelle is also a regular in local and national media, including the Washington Times, Washington Examiner, ESSENCE magazine, the Michael Baisden Show, Fox 5 news, News One Now with Roland Martin (WOL/Radio One), and a frequent contributor to call-ins on The Audrey Chapman Show (WHUR), The Daily Drum Show (WHUR), and Law Talk with Ethel Mitchell (WOL/Radio One).

Michelle often addresses her colleagues on topics from trial advocacy to family law and business and has been a featured speaker before such groups as the National Bar Association, the District of Columbia Bar, the Women’s Bar Association of DC, the Washington Bar Association, and the Greater Washington Area Chapter Bar Association. She’s also been a guest lecturer at The George Washington University Law School (her alma mater) and Morgan State University.

Michelle has spent more than a decade as a trial lawyer in Virginia, Maryland and DC. She often takes on the most complex family law issues, from “legitimate” parental kidnapping to defending fathers' rights. Michelle also understands the complexities involved when dealing with high profile divorce clients such as public figures, politicians or professional athletes and is keenly aware that families often benefit from resolving matters privately and outside of court.

Today, Michelle is an active leader in her profession. She’s just been elected to the D.C. Bar Board of Governors. She was recently appointed chair of the Practice Management Service Committee of the D.C. Bar, and elected president of the National Bar Association's Division for Young Lawyers. She served on the Nominations Committee of the D.C. Bar and the Board of the Women’s Bar Association of D.C. Foundation, as well as President of GWAC, the National Bar Association's Women Lawyer's Division's D.C. Chapter. As a result, Michelle has received several awards, including being named the Young Lawyer of the Year by the Bar Association of D.C.

Michelle graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and The George Washington University Law School. You can learn more about her at www.thomaslawdc.com.
