In distinguishing these individuals, the Chamber aims to expand recognition for Augusta’s young professional talent throughout Georgia.

Thomas specializes in handling domestic relations matters, specifically, adoptions (step-parent, grandparent, relative, third party, adult, DFCS, etc.), divorces (contested and uncontested), child custody disputes/modification actions, legitimations, name changes (adult and minor), contempt actions, family violence protective orders, stalking protective orders and child support matters. She manages cases in both the Superior Court and Juvenile Court of Georgia. Thomas also assists with the Augusta University Healthy Grandparents Program, which helps grandparents adopt or gain custody of their grandchildren.

Thomas earned her undergraduate degree from Furman University and her law degree from University of Georgia School of Law.
