New Orleans Lawyer Lands at Smith Haughey

For attorney Tom Aycock, moving to Michigan was always an option he and his wife, Wendy, a West Michigan native, had considered. When Hurricane Katrina hit their New Orleans home in August 2005 that option became their opportunity to head for higher ground and move closer to Wendy's family.

Smith Haughey Rice & Roegge is proud to welcome Thomas W. Aycock to the firm's litigation department. Tom previously worked for Crawford Lewis PLLC in New Orleans, Louisiana. The focus of his practice has been insurance defense, corporate executive officer liability and multi-party toxic tort litigation. He also served as a Legal Specialist in the United States Army from 1985 to 1990. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Louisiana Lafayette and his Juris Doctor from the Southern University Law Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he was the 2001 recipient of the Louisiana State Bar Association's Corporate Law Section Scholarship. Tom is admitted to practice law in the state courts of Louisiana and Michigan, Louisiana Federal Courts, and the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
