Gary Thompson has joined Weisbrod Matteis & Copley PLLC.

Mr. Thompson, formerly managing partner of Reed Smith's office in Washington, D.C., has nearly three decades of experience representing corporate policyholders in connection with property damage and business interruption claims as a result of hurricanes, floods, fires, and other disasters.

"Gary Thompson's arrival is a huge event for us both professionally and personally," Weisbrod Matteis partner Stephen Weisbrod said. "Gary is someone we've always respected not only as a legal counselor, litigator, and trial lawyer, but also as a colleague and friend."

"We've been trying to recruit Gary since the day we opened our doors," added the chair of Weisbrod Matteis, August Matteis. "Gary's practice fits well into our growing firm and he brings the whole package: expertise, dedication, a winning record, a pro bono legacy, and unmatched character."

Mr. Thompson said that he expected his clients to benefit from his move, explaining that the Weisbrod Matteis "team is excellent from top to bottom. I am especially excited to be able to deliver valuable service to my clients from a firm that excels at finding flexible fee arrangements that work for clients, without the relentless billing pressures of the big law firm world."
