About Nick Curtis
Nick Curtis Thompson trained first as a political scientist and communicator. He earned a B.S. from Murray State University in 1974, then went on to Mississippi College School of Law, where he received his J.D. in 1988 after studies in tax and corporate law. Those early academic choices created a mix of legal and fiscal perspective that has threaded through his career.
Thompson moved into financial and regulatory work early on. In 1979 he served as an accounting supervisor in inventory control for Keystop Oil. After law school he worked for the West Virginia Tax Department as an assistant lawyer handling general trial and litigation matters. That role exposed him to tax controversies and administrative procedure at a time when state tax systems were wrestling with changing revenue sources and enforcement priorities.
By the early 1990s Thompson was practicing bankruptcy and foreclosure defense. In 1991 he established a practice handling those matters under the name Nick Thompson Law Office. He continued to shift between public and private positions; in 1995 he took a post as assistant county lawyer in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, where he handled local government legal work alongside his private practice duties. The combination of government-side litigation and private consumer work shaped his approach to both courtroom procedure and client counseling.
Thompson is licensed in multiple forums. His admitted jurisdictions include West Virginia and Kentucky, and he holds admission to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. He also maintains a United States Tax Court license, listed as number 51. Professional affiliations include memberships in the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, the American Bankruptcy Institute, NACA, and the Kentucky Bar Association. These associations connect him to developments in consumer bankruptcy and insolvency practice.
Today he operates from The Law Office of Nick C. Thompson. He handles bankruptcy filings, defends clients facing foreclosure, and advises on tax-related litigation that draws on his earlier public-sector experience. His practice blends courtroom representation and case preparation for individuals and local entities, concentrating on bankruptcy and foreclosure defense work.
