When he's not advocating for his clients, Thomas enjoys life in New York with his wife, their two young children, and their energetic husky. The family loves exploring everything the state has to offer, from the beaches of Long Island to the natural beauty of the Adirondacks, and they especially enjoy spending time with extended family where his children are blessed with fourteen cousins who make every gathering an adventure.
