Jeffrey Thompson, Attorney at Law

After graduating from the University of Florida College of law in Gainesville, Florida, and taking the Bar Exam, I began my career in 1983 as an Assistant State Attorney for the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit in Titusville, Florida, prosecuting misdemeanors and DUIs, felonies, drug offenses, sexual offenses, and homicides.

In 1986 I entered private practice, concentrating on criminal defense, matrimonial and family law, personal injury and general civil litigation. I began private practice as an Associate with Baugh, Collins, Lintz & Westman in Cocoa, Florida. I later became a Shareholder in the firm, known then as Westman, Lintz, Watson, Thompson & Soileau.

In 1994 I moved my practice to the Suntree area of Melbourne. I co-founded the law firm of Barker, Klayman & Thompson, which later became Klayman, Thompson & Kontos. In 1999 I opened The Law Offices of Jeffrey G. Thompson, P.A., as a sole practicioner.

The areas of practice in which I have the greatest experience include Criminal Defense; Matrimonial Law and Domestic Relations; Child Advocacy; Adoptions; Personal Injury; General Civil Trial Practice with an emphasis on Construction and Real Estate Litigation, Consumer Protection Law, Creditors Rights and Employment Contracts; and Civil and Criminal Appeals
