Peruse local newspaper clippings and
you’ll glimpse her name and the few tight-

In 1995, Dr. Gordon Thomas was
accused of sexual misconduct with a
patient. He admitted to having sex with
her, but said it was consensual. “She
came to him for a hearing difficulty. They
hit it off: He wasn’t married; she wasn’t
married,” says Ringer, who represented
Thomas. When the woman found out
Thomas had slept with others, according
to a Seattle Times article, she broke
off the affair. “One of the negligence
claims against Dr. Thomas was that he
had somehow exacerbated her multiple
personality disorder by not referring her
for psychiatric care,” says Ringer. The jury
awarded the woman only $45,000: “less
than the offer that we made before trial,”
says Ringer.
