Early Education History
Before entering law school, Tom received his degree in English with a minor in Spanish from Louisiana State University. After earning his undergraduate degree, Tom worked in the marketing department of LSU Press, where he communicated with authors regarding promotional copy, sent books to prize committees, compiled press releases, and sent pre-publication copies of upcoming books to reviewers. He then moved to Guadalajara, Mexico, where he worked as an English teacher and tutor. His students included elementary and middle school children as well as adults. In Guadalajara, Tom developed true fluency in Spanish, which allowed him, upon his return home to Thibodaux, Louisiana, to work as a Spanish interpreter in criminal court in Thibodaux. This experience convinced Tom that he should go to law school to become a criminal defense attorney. His Spanish fluency and experience make him especially attuned to the unique needs and challenges of Hispanic immigrant clients.

During his last year of law school, Tom clerked with the Orleans Public Defenders, where he assisted supervising attorneys with trial preparation, client communications, Spanish interpretation, legal research and writing, demonstrative exhibit construction and a range of other tasks. Tom received the Public Interest Law Society Fellowship to fund his summer clerking at the Orleans Public Defenders office.
As a student in the Immigration Law Clinic and for the rest of his time in law school, Tom participated with his colleagues and professor in Know Your Rights presentations at immigration detention centers in Basile and Oakdale, Louisiana. At these presentations, Tom performed intakes with detainees as a preliminary step in determining whether they had any possible avenues for relief from removal from this country.
After law school, Tom worked as a law clerk and Spanish interpreter and then an associate attorney at the Lafayette Public Defenders Office. In Lafayette, Tom represented clients facing felony drug possession and distribution charges. He also represented clients on probation whose probation was in danger of revocation because of allegations of new criminal conduct or alleged violations of the technical conditions of probation. Tom’s work as a public defender meant he spent most of his time visiting clients in jail and in his office, reviewing and analyzing discovery, and working with his colleagues to develop strategies to find the best possible results for clients in exceedingly difficult circumstances.
