About

Zealously helping disabled individuals recover their Long-Term Disability insurance benefits.I have practiced law in throughout Texas since 1997 and am admitted to practice in the following state and federal courts:My first five years of practice were dedicated to pursuing justice for injured individuals.  In 2002, I began focusing on business litigation.  Over the next 14 years (primarily as a shareholder at a large, highly respected Texas law firm), I gained extensive experience and insight into the operations and legal practices of many businesses, including numerous insurance companies.  In addition to litigation between businesses, I spent significant time litigating insurance disputes involving property and casualty insurance, as well as, health insurance, life insurance, and ERISA benefits. Armed with nearly two decades of business and legal insight, I returned to my roots of representing individuals.  My practice is concentrated on zealously and diligently helping people with severe health issues recover the ERISA (or non-ERISA) short-term and long-term disability benefits that their insurance companies wrongfully denied.I graduated from the University of Missouri-Rolla, in 1993, with a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering, and from Southern Methodist University-Dedman School of Law, in 1997, with a Juris Doctor (J.D.), cum laude and Order of the Coif (top 10%).

Mr Thompson is my LTD attorney, and the most wonderful communicator when it comes to all of the information that has to be gone over. Mr Thompson is very compassionate and patient with his clients and when anything comes up, he emails or calls to explain. I am very pleased with this firm and the quality of service they provided.

GUERRINI & THOMPSON, P.C. have been my disability lawyers since 2016. They represented me when my disability company denied my LTD claim, submitted an appeal proving that I can no longer do my job due to ongoing health reasons, and my benefits were reinstated. Then two years later, my disability company denied my benefits again, this time requesting proof that I can no longer perform any job due to my health, so they submitted another appeal and my benefits were reinstated. Without hesitation, I recommend GUERRINI & THOMPSON, P.C. if you are experiencing issues with your disability insurance benefits. They are true professionals, focused, thorough and based on my personal experience, their expertise results in a fairly quick overturn.

Mr. Thompson handled my long-term disability case, which resulted in a successful settlement that I was very satisfied with. Mr. Thompson was very knowledgeable and experienced about ERISA disability law, was very thorough in plainly and clearly explaining the legal issues related to my case, and kept me informed of every step of the way in the legal process of my case. While he was very professional in working with me, he also got to know me on a personal level during our many telephone and in-person conversations, which was very reassuring to me as we progressed through the intricate legal process of my case. I would recommend both Mr. Thompson and his partner, Mr. Bernie Guerrini, to anyone who needs a disability attorney and wants to discuss his/her case with an "attorney" and not a "legal aide" as is all to often the case with many other disability law firms.

I hired the Guerrini law firm after being denied my long term disability. Very shortly after hiring them, my LTD was approved due to the hard work of this firm. After 1 1/2 years of monthly LTD payments, I received notice that my benefits were being terminated. Mr. Guerrini suggested taking the case to court, and Mr. Thompson was assigned my case. The LTD company suggested mediation and this was scheduled. For a total of five hours, Mr. Thompson fought to get me a fair deal from a company that wanted to pay pennies. At the end of it all, I was awarded a settlement that I was very pleased with. To be honest, I was hesitant about hiring an attorney that I found on the internet, but I didn't have a choice because there are no ERISA attorneys near where I live. I can honestly say that hiring the Guerrini law firm and Mr. Thompson was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Without their help, I would have never been awarded any LTD benefits at all.

John was immediately available to me, as soon as I contacted the firm. He was forthright and explained the entire process. He was honest from the beginning, and answered all of my questions. I am pleased with his service and the outcome of my case. I can’t thank him enough.
