I am the managing attorney for the Palmer Family Law Group’s San Antonio branch.  I've spent my life representing victims.  Before practicing law, I worked extensively in the medical field.  I bring my care and concern for people who need help with their health, and to people who need help in the legal field.  I continue to be accessible, reliable and compassionate about the cases we take.  You can expect a healthy, no-nonsense approach to dealing with your case to get you the healthy results that you and your family deserve.

I believe in our firm’s philosophy that a Soft Divorce® is better than a hard divorce and I am championing our message throughout Bandera, Bexar, Kendall, Kerr, and Medina Counties in the San Antonio region.

I am admitted to practice in both Texas and Utah, including the Federal Northern District of Texas, and the Federal District of Utah.

I received my doctorate degree from Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law in Dallas in 2003.  I received a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas in 1982.  The compassion I had in the medical field carries throughout my legal practice.

I am a member of: American Association of Justice, College of the State Bar of Texas, J. Reuben Clark Law Society, San Antonio Bar Association, San Antonio Women’s Bar Association, Texas State Bar, and Utah State Bar.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A warrior
Pam represented me during a divorce and ensuing custody battle. She is one of the most compassionate people you will ever meet. She's also a fighter, and will always represent you and your children's best interest. I honestly couldn't imagine another attorney who would have fought so hard and was not afraid to go on the offensive in representing my children and I.

Outstanding lawyer with compassion and integrity!!
Ms. Thompson is an amazing lawyer who puts the children/family at the forefront of any agreement or decision. She worked very hard to resolve my issue from what seemed like an impossible situation, to make sure my child's needs were given first priority. I lost hope after dealing with my previous lawyer and thought that there was no chance of change without going to court because I already had a signed mediated agreement. I am so grateful that I found Pam Thompson and feel she is one of the few lawyers in San Antonio that is upfront about the odds and works with genuine compassion, integrity, and desire to resolve your case in an efficient and ethical manner. She always kept me informed on the status of my case. My child would have suffered needlessly if it were not for her quick actions. She listened to my concerns and did not talk through me as the previously lawyer did. I also feel her billing is fair and much better than my previous lawyer based on the fact that you actually get results! Emotions are always high in a family law case, but I felt at ease knowing she was looking out for my best interest and more importantly, the best interest of my child! I would recommend her to anyone that may need counsel in a family law case. She does not play dirty as other lawyers do and actually states that upfront as well ... respect at all levels. Pam Thompson is a true professional and I am ever grateful for her service!

Very Professional
Pamela Thompson is a very knowledgable attorney whom I give my endorsement too. I utilized Pamela Thompson for a contract agreement, she took the time to explain the terms of the contract and counter offer. I would certainly recommend her services and certainly will utilize her services in the future. I endorse this attorney!

Professional and capable
Ms. Thompson is an amazing lawyer. I had gone through a divorce where a previously hired attorney failed miserably to negotiate a reasonable settlement during mediation. In fact, she basically turned her back on me and left me with no child support and no future, in chains to my ex-husband's demands. When I approached Ms. Thompson, I had lost all hope of anything good coming out of the horrible situation I found myself. She showed me compassion and managed to renegotiate an agreement that allowed me to move forward with my life, using every aspect of the law that she could, researching and protecting me along the way. She was professional throughout and dealt with the opposing counsel (who was miserably unprofessional and unethical) in a way that supported me and demanded professionalism. I would recommend her completely, trust her completely, and very much appreciate the work she did for me. Trust is hard to find with most lawyers, and she is a credit to her profession. Thank you, Ms. Thompson, for taking a hopeless situation and turning it around for me and my daughter.

After 32 years of marriage Pam helped me with my divorce. She is the ultimate professional but also has great compassion. I would recommend her without reservations

Highly Recommended!
Ms. Thompson's legal counsel and guidance were invaluable to us as grandparents seeking help in protecting the best interests of two grandchildren. We appreciated her common sense, straight forward, and honest guidance that led to guardianship of our grandsons with a minimum of drama and at a reasonable cost. We especially admire and appreciate her continued interest in the well being of the children and her willingness to listen and provide counsel as we move forward with this new responsibility.

Estate, trust, divorce, and misc. legal advise and referral
I would recommend Ms. Thompson to anyone looking for an attorney within her scope of practice. She is honest, forthright, objective, and understanding. Ms. Thompson is well versed in the law and very experienced and capable. She is astute about suggesting supportive help such as CPA, tax consulting, and personal counseling when those ancillary areas may be needed. As her letterhead business motto states: "Not just clients... partners". I rate her superior and trustworthy.
