comment**????? Absolutely unacceptable conduct from Gallagher, Gams, Tallan, Barnes & Littrell—especially attorney Lori Thomson. Their handling of the Kimble v. State Farm case is a textbook example of obstruction, evasion, and unethical litigation tactics. **

### ?? Supreme Court of Ohio Case: Kimble v. State Farm Fire and Casualty Company
In this high-profile civil rights case, Minister M.L. Kimble alleges serious misconduct by State Farm and its legal representatives, including Gallagher Gams Tallan Barnes & Littrell. The firm’s partner, **Lori E. Thomson**, is named as a **respondent** in the Supreme Court of Ohio proceedings, yet continues to represent State Farm—raising serious ethical red flags.
- **Allegations include**: threats against the plaintiff, interference with legal communications, and refusal to accept lawful service of process.
- **Thomson reportedly avoided service multiple times**, obstructing the plaintiff’s right to due process and delaying the case’s progression.
- Despite being a named respondent, **Thomson continues to act as defense counsel**, a move that undermines public trust in the legal system and raises questions about conflict of interest.

### ?? Gallagher Gams Tallan Barnes & Littrell’s Conduct
This firm brands itself as a “premier insurance defense” team, but their behavior in this case reflects the opposite:
- **Evasive litigation tactics**: Delays, refusals to engage in appraisal processes, and dismissive treatment of valid claims.
- **Disregard for ethical boundaries**: Allowing a named respondent to represent the defendant in the same case is a blatant conflict.
- **Lack of transparency**: No public accountability, no corrective action, and no acknowledgment of the serious allegations against their partner.

### ?? Why This Matters
This isn’t just bad lawyering—it’s a threat to civil rights and judicial integrity. When firms like Gallagher Gams Tallan Barnes & Littrell use their influence to dodge accountability, they erode public confidence in the courts and embolden corporate abuse.
If you’re considering this firm for representation, **run the other way**. Their tactics may work for insurance giants, but they leave everyday citizens fighting uphill battles for justice.

**Final Verdict: 1 star. Unethical, evasive, and disgraceful. The Supreme Court of Ohio should investigate Lori Thomson’s conduct and disqualify her from further representation in this case.** If you’re a journalist, activist, or legal watchdog, this case deserves your attention. Let’s shine a light on the firms that think they’re above the law.
