Thomas Cope
Tom began his career as a lawyer fighting for victims as a prosecutor with
the State Attorney's Office. There he was quickly promoted to a lead
trial attorney and recognized by R.I.D.D. and M.A.D.D. for his trial victories
against drunk drivers. As a felony prosecutor, Tom was part of the DUI
manslaughter response team and received specialized training in serious
and fatal DUI accident investigation, which he now puts to use in pursuing
punitive damages in civil cases.
Tom worked 5 years for a large central Florida insurance defense law firm
after leaving the State Attorneys' Office. For those years, he focused
his career on trial litigation in car accidents, boating accidents, trucking
accidents, and wrongful deaths. Mr. Cope took many of these serious injury
cases to trial against the best plaintiff's lawyers in the State.
AS a defense lawyer, Tom simply never lost.
Tom has brought his formidable trial and litigation skills to work for
the injured and their families. He frequently uses the skills and inside
knowledge he learned as a trucking and insurance company lawyer for the
benefit of his clients. His commitment to achieving the best possible
results for his clients has earned him the respect of his peers, as evidenced
by his inclusion in the
Florida Super Lawyers® Rising Starsâ„ list of 2010, a peer-review rating which is awarded to no more than 2.5%
of attorneys in the state.
Mr. Cope has lived in both Spain and Costa Rica and he speaks fluent Spanish.
He is an avid freediver and fisherman.
