"We never thought"—three words clients first utter when Tom Alleman delivers results they didn't think possible. But that's why insurance companies, financial institutions, auto manufacturers, construction firms, and others rely on him. They know he can construct innovative, elegant solutions to difficult problems.
Tom's practice is dynamic and diversified. A top ranked insurance lawyer in Texas (Chambers USA 2023) and co-director of Dykema's insurance industry group, clients constantly present him with new challenges requiring creative thinking.
When an automaker wants advice on potential risks associated with electric vehicle technologies, or an insurance company needs a first-rate courtroom lawyer to defend catastrophic injury claims resulting from a deadly gas explosion, Tom is the lawyer they call first.
“ When you hire me, you get me—24/7, phone, text, or email. ”
