John Gordon Thompson was born in Tarpon Springs, on July 27, 1950. John’s father, James E. Thompson was a doctor in Tarpon Springs with his mother, Jane Thompson as his nurse in a private practice during the mid 1940’s. John is the youngest of the three children in his family of five; all of whom attended public schools in Tarpon Springs. John graduated Tarpon Springs High School in 1968. He attended Florida State University in 1971 graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance. He then attended Cumberland School of Law, Samford University in Birmingham Alabama graduating in December of 1973. He was sworn in on May 10, 1974. He also was admitted to the United States District Courts on July 26, 1974.

John took his initial employment with a firm in St. Petersburg, Brown, Watson, Goldstein, & Douglas. He then started with Earle, Yanchuck, & Cooper. He was virtually involved with a general practice and subsequently did exclusive insurance defense work with the Workers’ Compensation arena.

By 1979, the firm evolved and changes with the law resulted in a transformation of that firm to Earle, Yanchuck, & Thompson. John then was doing Personal Injury plaintiffs practice with Workers’ Compensation claims included. He remained a partner in that firm until 1991 when he terminated that relationship and opened John G. Thompson & Associates, P.A. in May of that year.

Today, John remains focused on pursuing Personal Injury claims, Product Liability cases, Workers’ Compensation, and Social Security matters, exclusively representing the injured party.

Mr. Thompson is admitted to practice before all courts of the State of Florida and the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. He is a member of the St. Petersburg Bar Association. Mr. Thompson is also certified by the Supreme Court of Florida as a Circuit Court Mediation. John has been a member of the Tarpon Springs Rotary Club and he served as president for one year. He is a member of the Board of Directors for the Leepa Ratner Museum at the St. Petersburg College Campus in Tarpon Springs and John also serves on the Board of Directors for other private charitable foundations.

John is married with four children and sixgrandchildren. His three sons are all attorneys and his daughter has worked in his law firm since 1992; more recently retiring to care for her twin daughters. His wife, Mariette Brunet Thompson and he have dedicated their lives to developing their private office since opening it on their own in 1991. They were and remain committed to not being stereo typed; not being like every other law firm but rather to serve each and every client with the utmost of professionalism and giving personal attention to all claims. Doing a good job for each client and treating all clients like family makes it likely to have future referrals of new clients. The practice has done very well for over 13 years and John continues to dedicate himself to serving his clients as always, with the care and individuality they deserve.
