Thomas Principe’s background is as a defense attorney. In that capacity he squared off more than once against fellow partner Tom Moore who recruited him to become a KDLM partner in April 1989.
Today, his experience and perspective serve KDLM’s clients well as he conducts examinations before trial. Those depositions and discovery illuminate the defense’s claims and likely strategy. He is painstakingly thorough in his approach, sifting through and examining medical records and transcriptions for information to aid in client defense.
Tom Principe has been admitted to the bar in New York, Florida, the District of Columbia U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Southern Districts, the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Court of Military Appeals.
