About Thomas
Thomas Shlosman built his professional life around law and business. He brings together training in business administration, management and legal practice. People who meet him notice a clear, methodical approach to problem solving and an attention to procedural detail.
He earned a B.A. in Business Administration at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. He then returned to school for an MBA at the University of New Orleans. He completed his legal training at Loyola University New Orleans, where he received his J.D. Early academic choices gave him tools for both transactional analysis and courtroom work.
After law school he entered private practice. Over time he obtained admissions to the Louisiana state bar as well as to the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and the Federal Circuit. Those credentials allow him to work on matters in state trial courts, as well as in federal trial and appellate venues. He has kept a practice that spans multiple layers of the court system rather than limiting itself to a single courtroom.
His professional affiliations reflect a mix of interests. He is a current member of the American Association for Justice and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. He also holds memberships in the Federal Bar Association, the New Orleans Bar Association, the American Bar Association and the Louisiana Association for Justice. The roster signals activity on both local and national stages and frequent dealings with federal practice issues.
Shlosman works out of the Shlosman Law Office. Colleagues describe him as steady in court and precise in filings. He prefers clear briefs and carefully marshaled records. He also works with clients directly to map procedural choices and appellate options when cases move beyond the trial level.
Over the years he has handled matters that move through state courts and into federal appellate practice. He continues to take cases that require appearances in Louisiana courts and in federal circuits where he is admitted. He maintains memberships that keep him connected to developments in criminal defense, civil justice and federal practice. He practices at Shlosman Law Office, representing clients in state and federal courts on trial and appellate matters.
