As a civil litigator with years of experience working for debt settlement companies, I am encouraged and inspired by the level of dedication that every employee has to maintain client-driven standards.  I look forward to learning and adapting to this ever-evolving practice where our duty to our clients and our high ethical standards best inform business practices.”

“Angela is a welcome addition to the Dublin team,” says shareholder and Consumer Collections Group chair David Head. “Angela’s background in the consumer space makes her a valuable resource for the consumer team and has fast-tracked her transition at Weltman. I look forward to working with Angela to further develop her career progression for many years to come.”

Thomas Widman is a seasoned attorney with over 32 years of experience, primarily focused on litigation and complex collections. Thomas provides strategic direction for the firm’s litigation and complex collection business unit to help achieve the firm’s long-term goals and uphold its mission and values.

“I am excited about the opportunity to utilize the skills that I have developed during my 32 years in practice to assist Weltman's creditor clients, and to provide leadership to ensure that the firm’s mission and core values are being achieved every day,” says Thomas.

“We are pleased to announce that Thomas Widman has joined the firm as an associate,” says shareholder Allen Reis of the Columbus office. “He attended law school at Capital University, and has been in practice for over 30 years.
