introduction
Prior to law school, Tom, a native North Carolinian, received bachelor’s (’92) and master’s (’96) degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After undergraduate, he worked the night shift in a light-fixture factory and had a truly remarkable career in pizza delivery. Later he worked as a chemist and as a legislative assistant to Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Tom founded Spiggle Law to help individuals facing difficult workplace issues. Although Spiggle Law represents employees in many different matters, Tom has a soft spot for those who suffer from discrimination solely because they are pregnant or have family-care issues, like caring for a sick child or an elderly parent. As former prosecutor with significant experience in high-level criminal cases, Tom is also uniquely qualified to represent individuals subject to workplace investigations and criminal prosecutions.

JENKINS v US
Assistant United States Attorney in an appeals case in which the Appellant asserted that the Trial Court Judge violated his rights by assuming he was guilty after hearing one witness's testimony (violating the his right to be innocent until proven guilty). Said Appellant also claimed that he was convicted of "double jeopardy" since he was convicted on two separate counts of the same sexual assault act. The Appeal Court affirmed the original ruling stating the first assertion had no merit and that two distinct sexual assaults were committed (on the same victim) allowing for two charges and convictions.
