Thomas J. Westbrook

A native of Washington and a resident of Thurston County for over 50 years, Tom brings to the table a unique blend of practical business and legal experience, which clients have been leveraging to their advantage for more than four decades. From managing his family’s sawmills and timberland operations between 1972 and 1992 while also practicing law, he has developed a profound understanding of business, real estate, land use, and regulatory law through his personal business involvement, alongside his legal representation of clients in these practice areas, as well as in estate planning and probate.

Tom is a dedicated advocate who always keeps in mind that his primary responsibility is to work for the best interests of his clients. With his extensive experience as a litigator, he effectively represents clients in the District and Superior Courts of Thurston, Mason, Pierce, Grays Harbor, and Lewis Counties, as well as in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. However, he also recognizes that litigation isn’t always the optimal solution. Tom has successfully guided many clients towards mediated resolutions, avoiding prolonged litigation and often bypassing the need for any legal proceedings.

While expected and unexpected events happen in a person’s life, I would not consider any other attorney other than Tom Westbrook in the Thurston County area. I have used Tom for expected events, such as estate planning and real estate related matters, as well as unexpected things that I may encounter in business and life’s challenges. Mr. Westbrook has a lifetime of real world experience and the proven track record that I can rely upon. Recently, he helped me to negotiate a complicated business settlement with a very litigious adversary and based upon his sound advice and his attention to detail, we successfully completed the transaction with favorable results for everyone. THE BOTTOM LINE: People want an attorney that can prepare them to handle various challenges or to avoid the challenge all together. When I hire Tom, I know I am receiving the best possible advice and action for me. If you want an attorney that keeps you informed, cares about his clients’ needs and will take the time to explain and prepare you with the attention that is needed in legal issues, Call him first!!

My wife contacted Mr. Westbrook while I was deployed concerning a business purchase we had made. He instantly made my wife feel at ease. He always conducted himself in a professional manner, even with the depositions of the other party. He always responded to our concerns promptly, which helped relieve some of our anxiety. We relied on his advice heavily during our case. He was always honest and upfront with us during our case. He explained all the options we had to choose from. He did an excellent job bringing our case to a settlement. We would recommend his services and still use him today.
