Litigation & Arbitration

The attorneys at Thomas & LoCicero PL are experienced litigators who regularly appear in state and federal court, both at the trial and appellate levels. The large number of reported decisions from state and federal courts arising from cases we have litigated is a testament to the fact that our lawyers continually appear before judges and juries and have real courtroom experience. In fact, many of our attorneys clerked with federal district court and court of appeals judges and have a unique insight into the workings of the judicial system.

Our litigation practice extends throughout Florida and across the Southeastern United States. The diversity of our practice is reflected in the variety of clients we represent, from airlines to agricultural chemical suppliers, from creators of data storage products to producers of natural health supplements. Regardless of the size or complexity of a matter, Thomas & LoCicero PL is committed to providing superior legal services to achieve our clients' objectives.

Arbitration - an Alternative to Litigation

In addition to courtroom work, Thomas & LoCicero PL also regularly handles matters before the American Arbitration Association (AAA). As experienced trial attorneys, we also recognize that there are times when alternative dispute resolution (ADR) such as mediation or arbitration may be the most effective course of action for our clients. In those cases, we will manage all aspects of arbitration, from the initial investigation, through the filing of an arbitration demand, up to the arbitrator's final ruling. With extensive arbitration experience, we find cost-effective ways to help you get your mind back on the subject of running a successful business.

Resolving Business and Contract Disputes

Thomas & LoCicero lawyers have sued or defended clients in an array of cases involving licensing agreements, land sales contracts, dealership agreements, non-competition provisions, fraud, dissolution of corporations and partnerships, and civil theft, among many others. But, because merely dealing with these types of disputes can be a major distraction to any business, we work with our clients - by drafting contracts, licenses, and other agreements - to minimize the likelihood of litigation. For many of our clients, our effective and early legal counseling is the best way to avoid the expense and distraction of a future lawsuit.
