About Tom
Tom Thomasian trained in criminal justice before he went to law school. He earned a B.S. in Criminal Justice from Northeastern University in 2003 and a J.D. from Roger Williams University School of Law in 2007. Those formative years set him on a courtroom path.
He stepped into public defense early. In 2008 he served as a Staff Lawyer II at the Rhode Island Office of the Public Defender. That same year his name appears at Harmon Law Offices as a lawyer. The combination of public and private roles helped him build practical trial experience quickly.
Memberships and professional affiliations have been a steady part of his career. He has been a member of the Rhode Island Bar Association and the Massachusetts Bar Association since 2007. He joined the Rhode Island Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in 2014. In 2015 he became part of the National College of DUI Defense and the American Academy of Trial Lawyers.
Those associations reflect the work he does in and out of court. He handles criminal defense matters, and DUI work figures prominently in his practice. He is comfortable in trial settings and often deals with contested hearings and plea negotiations. Clients encounter him in both state and municipal courts in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
He runs a small practice under his own name. The Law Office of Thomas C. Thomasian, Esq. is the current office listed for his work. He manages cases, interacts directly with clients, and handles litigation tasks from arraignment through trial when necessary.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in case preparation. He tends to emphasize factual investigation and evidence review. Cross-examination and motion practice form a recurring part of his courtroom approach. He also keeps up with training through professional groups that focus on DUI and criminal defense issues.
Outside of court he spends time on case law research and courtroom procedure. That attention to detail informs how he prepares affidavits, motions, and trial strategy. His record shows sustained involvement in criminal defense circles and an interest in the technical aspects of DUI litigation.
He practices law in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and handles criminal defense and DUI cases at his office in Rhode Island.
