Michele became an attorney because she wanted to help others in a direct way that had a strong impact on the lives of others. She believes in treating every single client with dignity and respect. She cares about her clients as people and not just about their cases.
Attorney Michele Thomas is a lifelong resident of Preble County, Ohio, though she did live elsewhere for several years while teaching Legal Research and working as a reference librarian at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Bowen School of Law. She graduated from Eaton High School in 1992 and believes strongly in the people of Preble County who make it a positive place to work, live, and raise a family. To that end, Eaton is the home base for the law firm, though we can meet with clients in Eaton, Hamilton, or Dayton. Michele and each of the other team members within the law firm are dedicated to helping our clients through the most difficult situations that come up in life.
Michele attended law school at the University of Dayton School of Law and has been licensed to practice in all state courts of Ohio since 2007. She also is admitted to practice in the U.S. Federal District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. In addition to her law degree, she earned a Master of Arts in Sociology from The Ohio State University and a Master of Library and Information Science from the University of Pittsburgh.
