Thomas Beach

Thomas is a talented attorney with a passion for defending clients accused of crimes. His knowledge of the law and tenacity both in and out of the courtroom have earned him many favorable outcomes for the Texans he’s served. He has successfully represented people accused of a wide range of criminal charges, including aggravated assault, driving while intoxicated, burglary of a habitation, soliciting prostitution, felony drug possession and more.

Thomas got his start working with indigent criminal defendants in Lubbock, Texas, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude from Texas Tech University School of Law. There, he served on the Board of Barristers and worked in the law school’s Criminal Defense Clinic; his hard work and dedication to his clients led him to be recognized by the Lubbock Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, who chose him to receive the 2022 Clifford Brown Award. Thomas has taken that passion for advocacy and defense and invested it into representing those accused of crimes in the DFW area.

Thomas is licensed by the Supreme Court of Texas and is a member of both the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and Tarrant County Criminal Defense Lawyers Association. He is licensed to practice in all Texas courts, as well as Federally in the Northern District of Texas. Thomas understands that there are two sides to every story, and has made it his mission to craft the most compelling story for every client that comes through his door. He has devoted his career to defending those who cannot defend themselves and promises to bring his passion for advocacy to all of those represented at Westfall Sellers.

Thomas was born and raised in Fort Worth, TX. He graduated from Paschal High School in 2010 and went on to receive his bachelor’s in English at Southwestern, University.
