Thomas also maintains a trial practice, where he runs trials, preliminary inquiries, bail hearings, and sentencing hearings. He has handled a wide variety of cases from assault, uttering threats, theft, fraud, mischief, and driving offences, to drug trafficking, murder, manslaughter, sexual assault, robbery, and firearms charges.
