Professional Experience
Thad began his post-law school career in New York City at the medium-sized law firm, London Fischer LLP, where he worked on behalf of insurance companies to defend insurance claim litigation, including lawsuits involving defective traffic lights, property damage, and personal injury, as well as complex insurance and reinsurance issues, including issues relating to the destruction of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Thad subsequently joined his parents (Molly and Toby) at their bankruptcy law practice, Bartholow & Bartholow, and he has been with the firm, practicing exclusively bankruptcy and consumer law ever since. Thad regularly appears in court on behalf of his clients and is not afraid to bring lawsuits against mortgage companies and debt collectors, among others, to ensure that his clients are treated fairly and with dignity as they navigate the bankruptcy process.

Volunteer and Community Involvement:
For three years in New York, Thad served as a Volunteer Mediator for Safe Horizon, mediating small claims cases, civil court cases, and out-of-court “community” cases, and became a volunteer member of the Safe Horizon Alternative Dispute Resolution Advisory Committee, working to develop the Alternative Dispute Resolution programs offered by Safe Horizon in and around New York City . Thad currently serves as a volunteer for the American Red Cross, most recently assisting with the Dallas Convention Center shelter for Hurricane Ike victims.
