For more than four decades, FKC&S has represented clients in complex litigation across state and federal courts throughout the Hudson Valley and Capital Region.

“Alexandra brings nearly a decade of hands-on litigation experience and a well-rounded background across multiple practice areas,” said Jeffrey M. Feldman, founding partner of FKC&S. “Her ability to manage matters from inception through trial and appeal, combined with her strong advocacy skills, will be a strong asset to this team and will strengthen client outcomes.”

In her role as of counsel at FKC&S, Thomas will focus on medical malpractice defense, representing insurers and insured clients, including hospitals, physicians and other health care professionals. In addition, she will assist in the defense of general liability matters and manage cases through all phases of litigation, from initial claim evaluation and discovery to motion practice and trial preparation.

Prior to joining FKC&S, Thomas was a partner at a Pleasant Valley-based law firm, where she represented individuals, businesses and property owners in a wide range of civil litigation matters. Her experience includes commercial litigation, real estate and construction disputes, personal injury claims and trusts and estates matters. She has handled cases through trial and appeal and has argued before the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York.

Thomas earned her Juris Doctor from Brooklyn Law School and holds a Bachelor of Arts in political science from Rhodes College in Memphis, TN. She played Division III basketball in college, where her team advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament during her senior year. During law school, she interned for the Honorable James D. Pagones, an acting Supreme Court justice and Surrogate of Dutchess County at the time.

Originally from Cold Spring, Thomas is admitted to practice in New York State as well as the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern, Southern and Northern Districts of New York.
