About Andrew K
Andrew K Thomas built a legal path that began in Virginia classrooms and led to the courtroom. He earned a B.A. from James Madison University in 1988 and a J.D. from George Mason University in 1992. Those credentials set the stage for a practice grounded in trial work and courtroom procedure.
He joined Dulaney, Lauer & Thomas and rose to partner in 1999. That elevation reflected years of steady courtroom work and case handling. As a partner, he has been part of the firm’s litigation team, taking on matters that require trial preparation and advocacy before judges and juries.
Thomas is admitted to practice in Virginia. He maintains memberships that are commonly associated with trial lawyers. He belongs to the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association and holds membership in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. He also carries an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell, a peer-review based evaluation that appears on his professional record.
Colleagues describe his courtroom presence as deliberate and methodical. He focuses on the details that matter to a case — deposition transcripts, evidence chains, witness preparation — and he applies that work to trial strategy. He has handled a range of contested matters over the years, and his continued association with trial-oriented organizations reflects that practice orientation.
Outside the courtroom he has contributed to firm management and case development. As a partner, he has participated in mentoring younger attorneys and shaping case approach at the firm level. That role involves balancing casework, client communication, and the administrative duties partners commonly carry.
Thomas has maintained an active practice through the years and remains engaged in litigation work. His membership in national and state trial organizations informs how he prepares cases and pursues resolution for clients. He currently practices at Dulaney, Lauer & Thomas, where his work centers on litigation.
