Firm Overview

Experienced Litigators in Tampa and South Florida

Anticipating Needs, Exceeding Expectations. At Thomas & LoCicero PL, we pride ourselves on understanding and anticipating our clients' needs, and on providing the highest quality legal services to protect our clients' interests. As a result, we have longstanding relationships with a wide array of clients, including media, broadcast, and entertainment companies as well as corporations in such diverse businesses as advertising, agricultural chemicals, aviation, business equipment, education, insurance, professional staffing, and supermarkets.

Our lawyers are accustomed to the tight deadlines under which many businesses operate. We provide a team approach in multiple practice areas to ensure that clients have representation available at all times, whether an attorney is needed to render advice, appear in court, or draft and file pleadings and motions on the client's behalf.

Professional Recognition. Most of Thomas & LoCicero lawyers are AV rated (the highest rating conferred by Martindale Hubbell) and have been honored as Legal Elite best lawyers in Florida (by Florida Trend Magazine) and as Florida Super Lawyers. Thomas & LoCicero lawyers also appear in The Best Lawyers in America. Many of us served as law clerks to federal district court or court of appeals judges. The firm's particular strength as an intellectual property and media law firm is widely recognized by media lawyers and organizations, who regularly invite our lawyers to organize, chair, and participate as panelists at American Bar Association seminars, Media Law Resource Center conferences, The Florida Bar's Media Law Conferences and Reporter's Workshops, and Florida Press Association conferences. The firm's lawyers also have served as adjunct professors, guest lecturers, and speakers at the University of Florida, Washington and Lee University, Stetson University College of Law, the University of South Florida, and Nova Southeastern University.

A commitment to pro bono and community service. Thomas & LoCicero PL understands the importance of giving back to the community. Our attorneys and staff members regularly volunteer their time and legal skills to help individuals, charities, and civic organizations. Over the years, we have represented numerous clients pro bono, including children in foster care, victims of domestic violence, not-for-profit organizations, artists, and prisoners.
