Thomas (“Tom”) Dennis began his legal career in South Florida, defending insurance companies against personal injury and wrongful death claims. This experience gave him a unique, insider’s perspective on how insurers evaluate and litigate cases. Today, Tom uses that knowledge to advocate for individuals and families who have been injured or otherwise taken advantage of by large corporations and insurance companies. By understanding defense strategies from the inside, he is able to anticipate opposing counsel’s moves and work toward a full, fair recovery for his clients.
Tom handles a wide variety of personal injury and wrongful death cases, including automobile accidents, slip-and-fall incidents, product liability, nursing home abuse, and medical malpractice claims. He is licensed to practice in Florida and admitted to all Florida state courts. Recognized for his trial skills and ethical standards, Tom is a proud member of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA)—an invitation-only group dedicated to protecting every citizen’s right to a civil jury trial.
Aware that most clients have never been through a lawsuit before, Tom prioritizes clear, open communication. He explains legal options in plain language and keeps clients updated at every stage of their case, ensuring they feel confident in their decisions regarding their case.
Originally from Michigan, Tom was nationally ranked in tennis and earned an athletic scholarship to Western Michigan University, where he served as a three-time team captain and was named an Academic All-American. He later attended the University of Florida College of Law, earning honors in both Trial Practice and Appellate Advocacy.
When he’s not practicing law, Tom enjoys spending time with his wife and two children, often on the golf course or tennis court. To discuss your situation or learn more about Tom’s approach, feel free to email him directly or call (407) 843-7060 to schedule a free consultation.
