A Top Criminal Defense Attorney Who Cares

Scranton criminal defense attorney William D. Thompson has been named a Top 100 Trial Lawyer by The National Trial Lawyers for a reason. For two decades, Mr. Thompson has passionately and skillfully defended the rights of individuals inside and outside the courtroom. He is committed to providing his clients personal attention, care and compassion as part of a promise he made to his father decades ago.

“My father worked in a jail for more than 40 years. When I was in law school, he made me promise to treat my clients with respect and to listen to their stories. This is a promise I made, and it is a promise I intend to keep.”

The Individualized Attention Your Case Deserves

Thompson Law’s primary goal to help individuals in Scranton and Lackawanna County who have been arrested, accused or charged with a crime. Mr. Thompson knows that facing up against the criminal justice system – and the judges, juries and prosecutors involved – can be an overwhelming and frightening experience. This is especially true if you are unaware of your rights and options as your case moves forward.

Unlike some criminal defense lawyers, Mr. Thompson actually gets to know you, your story, your behavior and your goals. He provides you with the personal attention you need so you never feel alone at any juncture of your case. He develops a lifelong attorney-client relationship built on mutual trust, understanding and nonjudgmental communication that gives him the ability to leverage your case into the most favorable position possible.

Client Testimonials

“We were referred to Bill by a senior member of law enforcement…. He gave us the feeling that he genuinely cared about our child’s well-being, and we walked away from our initial meeting with an assured feeling that he would do whatever it took to provide us with the best possible outcome. This was a traumatic experience for our child, but through it all, he actually looked up to Bill as not just his attorney, but somewhat of a mentor. This speaks volumes to Bill’s ability to effectively communicate with us, and the level of transparency into the process that he provided. Bill was successful in providing us with a great outcome, and we are extremely grateful for his dedication to the case and his brilliance in the execution of it. We would 100% recommend Bill with no reservations whatsoever.”

-Former client

“From the first call, Bill was great with communication and keeping us updated with information. He explained everything very clearly from the worst-case scenario to the most realistic. He made sure every question was answered and did the research when necessary. Overall, Bill took what could have been a huge mess in multiple counties and helped us get a fair and reasonable resolution for everything. Honestly, we hope we never have to call Bill again, but we would definitely recommend him to friends.”

-Former client

“I just wanted to say thanks for doing such a good job handling my case. You are the best Billy. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer.”
