About

Sanford W. Thompson is a dedicated attorney based in Raleigh, North Carolina, with a wealth of experience in the fields of insurance law and personal injury. A proud native of Raleigh, Sanford completed his undergraduate studies at the University of North Carolina in 1977 and earned his law degree from UNC Law School in 1980. For over 11 years, he practiced at North Carolina's largest law firm, where he represented insurance companies, corporations, and various industries, including trucking, healthcare, and retail. This extensive experience allowed him to handle complex accident cases, defend healthcare professionals, and represent businesses against claims from their clients. However, Sanford’s desire to advocate for individuals and small businesses led him to shift his focus in 1991. Now, as the founder of Sanford Thompson, PLLC, he leverages his insights from the corporate side to effectively represent clients seeking justice in personal injury matters. His practice is tailored to ensure that he provides top-notch representation, focusing exclusively on cases where he has significant experience. Sanford has successfully represented clients throughout North Carolina, particularly in the Raleigh area and extending to the coast. Outside of his legal practice, Sanford values family time with his wife and three children. He believes in maintaining a balanced life, engaging in activities such as golf, fishing, and yoga, and staying active in his community and church. With a commitment to his clients and a passion for helping others, Sanford Thompson continues to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those he serves.
