How To Succeed as a Military Lawyer featuring Vernon W. Thomas

Vernon W. Thomas is a member of the U.S. Army Reserve Judge
Advocate General Corps (JAG), an Orleans Parish city prosecutor,
a bookworm, former East Baton Rouge Parish public defender and
has experience as a solo practitioner. Yet, Vernon did not grow
up with aspirations to be a lawyer. 


Vernon grew up watching his father, Vernon P. Thomas, a 1979
Southern University Law Center graduate, run a thriving legal
practice.  However, Vernon attended Dillard University with
intentions to become a school teacher.  After numerous
discussions with his father, Vernon realized that his analytical
mind might enjoy law school.  


As a 2009 Southern University Law Center graduate, Vernon studied
with a group of classmates for the bar exam.  While being
too broke to pay for a formal bar prep course and having
military-style discipline, Vernon endured a tenuous schedule and
prides himself on passing the Louisiana bar exam on his first
try.  After working in various legal roles, in numerous
cities, and on multiple active duty assignments with the United
States Army Reserves, Vernon is back in his hometown of New
Orleans.


Currently, Vernon W. Thomas is a lawyer with the Law Office of
Vernon P. Thomas; a role that Vernon inherited after his father
passed away in 2016.  Vernon and his brother, Hunter Thomas,
a 2017 Southern University Law Center graduate, both share the
workload at their fathers’ namesake office.
