Episode Guest, Tom Dickerson
Tom Dickerson was born in St. Louis, Missouri and raised in Overland Park, Kansas. He started doing legal work when he was only 19 years old, working for the head of litigation at a mid-size firm that defended large financial institutions. In that position, Tom obtained invaluable experience seeing how some of the largest corporations in the country approached legal cases against everyday people.
After seeing numerous cases where everyday people faced insurmountable odds against big business, Tom decided to dedicate his career to standing up for regular, hard-working people and their families. He fights to protect their rights and helps them obtain justice and fair compensation for their injuries and damages suffered due to the negligence of others.
Tom started the Dickerson Oxton Law Firm with Chelsea Oxton Dickerson in 2010. He has extensive experience in motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice and nursing home negligence, catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, dog bites, job-related injuries, insurance disputes, and consumer protection matters.
