(Philadelphia, PA) — Chartwell Law is pleased to announce that attorney Thomas Allmond has joined the firm as a partner, bringing with him a wealth of litigation experience and a strong record of leadership in both civilian and military legal settings.

Thomas will be based in Chartwell’s Tampa, Florida office and will play a key role in expanding the firm’s general liability and construction defense practices. He is widely respected for his ability to lead demanding cases from inception through trial, including those involving bodily injury, premises liability, property damage, and automobile claims. His courtroom experience, combined with his work in arbitration and mediation, enhances Chartwell’s litigation capabilities throughout Florida and beyond.

“Thomas’s reputation as a skilled litigator speaks for itself,” said Derek Lloyd, Partner at Chartwell Law. “His leadership with clients and colleagues reflects the values we uphold at Chartwell—excellence, integrity, and a commitment to results. We are excited to welcome him to the firm.”

Beyond private practice, Thomas serves as an attorney in the United States Navy Reserve, where he has tried major felony cases and worked alongside federal agencies on a wide range of civil matters. His previous military service as an intelligence analyst during his deployment to Iraq speaks to the discipline and focus he brings to every case.

Thomas is also known for his mentorship of junior attorneys and other legal professionals, often leading collaborative teams and helping develop litigation strategies that drive strong client outcomes. His arrival enhances both the depth and breadth of Chartwell’s trial capabilities.

Thomas earned his J.D., magna cum laude, from Mercer University Law School, and his B.S., summa cum laude, in Public Service from Middle Georgia State University. He is admitted to practice in Florida and North Carolina.
