When Tom Wilson discusses legal considerations for medical providers, he does so from a unique perspective: he is both an experienced trial attorney and a 10-year paramedic veteran with America Ambulance and the Chatham Fire Department. Wilson was a keynote speaker at the second annual Mid-America Emergency Symposium, which was held recently at Memorial Center for Learning and Innovation in Springfield, Illinois.

Wilson, who is a partner in the firm’s Springfield office, focuses his legal practice on defending medical malpractice cases, as well as employers and government officers and employees in employment and civil rights claims. In addition, he has defended a wide variety of industry leaders and businesses in general tort claims. He is rated an AV Preeminent Attorney by Martindale-Hubbell and has been named both an Illinois Leading Lawyer and an Illinois Super Lawyer.
