George R. Wise Jr. of The Brad Hendricks Law Firm headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, provided support for Thomas v. Ford Motor Company et. al. which reached a verdict January 30, 2019.

The 24-day trial ended after the jury deliberated for a day and a half and resulted in Mr. Thomas being awarded $5.55 million in damages, and $1 million each for the mental anguish his three children—Michael Thomas, Kara Bryant, and Joanne Scott—suffered.
