Tom Dickerson

Partner and attorney

Thomas J. Dickerson is a passionate advocate who has a strong moral compass. Tom believes in the importance of standing up for individual people and their families against wrongdoers and the insurance companies that defend this wrongful conduct. Tom routinely takes this battle into the courtroom and has tried a significant number of trials.

BACKGROUND

Tom was born in St. Louis, Missouri and raised in Overland Park, Kansas. Tom started doing legal work when he was only 19 years old, working for the head of litigation at a mid-size firm that defended large financial institutions. In that position, Tom obtained invaluable experience seeing how some of the largest corporations in the country approached legal cases against everyday people. After seeing numerous cases where everyday people faced insurmountable odds against big business, Mr. Dickerson decided to dedicate his career to standing up for regular, hard-working people and their families. He fights to protect their rights and helps them obtain justice and fair compensation for their injuries and damages suffered due to the negligence of others. Tom started the Dickerson Oxton Law Firm with Chelsea Oxton Dickerson in 2010.
