RICO Lawyer & Attorney : Thomas Walker : Cosho Humphrey Law Firm : RICO Act, Federal and State Racketeering Litigation, Boise Idaho

I am a senior partner in Cosho Humphrey LLP, a law firm established in 1971. My practice emphasizes litigation of complex cases, particularly prosecution and defense of claims under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act and state Racketeering Acts. Consequently, I have developed experience and expertise in many different and difficult areas of the law, including lawsuits involving financial crimes and fraud, products liability, professional liability, minority shareholder oppression, insurance bad faith, securities violations, and tax disputes with state and federal governments.

I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration (Finance Major) from Georgetown University, Washington, D.C., in June 1967.  Following graduation from Georgetown, I was involved in the management of a wholesale distribution company.  In the fall of 1973, I entered the University of Idaho, College of Law and was awarded a Juris Doctor degree in December 1975. I was admitted to the practice of law in April 1976.  I practiced law for several months before attending the University of Miami and obtaining a Master of Laws in Taxation (LLM, Taxation) in June 1977.  I have practiced law continuously since June 1977, except for a two year period in the early-1990s when I was involved in management of a manufacturing business.

I am a member of the Idaho Bar Association, the Idaho Trial Lawyers Association and the American Association for Justice. I am admitted to practice before all state and federal courts in Idaho, as well as the United States Tax Court, United States Claims Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.  I have also been specially admitted to practice in the courts of several states on a case by case basis.
