Thomas provides strategic direction for the firm’s litigation and complex collection business unit to help achieve the firm’s long-term goals and uphold its mission and values.

“I am excited about the opportunity to utilize the skills that I have developed during my 32 years in practice to assist Weltman's creditor clients, and to provide leadership to ensure that the firm’s mission and core values are being achieved every day,” says Thomas.

“We are pleased to announce that Thomas Widman has joined the firm as an associate,” says shareholder Allen Reis of the Columbus office. “He attended law school at Capital University, and has been in practice for over 30 years.
