Anthony D. Thompson
Anthony D. Thompson is Southern California’s most recognized toxic mold litigation attorney and the driving force behind Thompson Injury Law’s transformation into the region’s only law firm exclusively handling mold claims. Since joining his father’s practice in 2004, Anthony has revolutionized mold litigation in Southern California, recovering tens of millions of dollars for mold victims while earning recognition as a Super Lawyer for seven consecutive years (2019-2025).
Exclusive Dedication to Toxic Mold Litigation
What sets Anthony apart from every other attorney in Southern California is his exclusive focus on toxic mold cases. While other lawyers handle car accidents, slip-and-falls, and general personal injury matters, Anthony has dedicated his entire legal career to mastering the complex intersection of science, medicine, and law that defines toxic mold litigation.
“Our homes should be our sanctuaries – places to escape the troubles of the world, not places that make us sick,” says Anthony. This philosophy drives his relentless pursuit of justice for families whose health and homes have been devastated by toxic mold exposure.

The Thompson Family Legacy of Justice
Anthony represents the second generation of Thompson attorneys dedicated to fighting for the “little guy” against powerful corporations and insurance companies. When his father Harold founded the firm in 1976, the goal was to build a truly special law practice. Under Anthony’s leadership, that vision has evolved into Southern California’s most specialized and successful toxic mold litigation practice.
