Thomas Gerard Pye
About Thomas
Biography
I have practiced law for 31 years. My firm and myself are very well recognized in the community of professionals. In addition, I teach as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Florida. My class is centered on legal issues.
I have been a member of the Florida Bar since 1982. During my years I joined the United States District Court of the Northern District of Florida Bar as a member. Shortly thereafter, I became a board member of the Northern District of Florida Bankruptcy Bar. Additionally, I am a member in good standing of the United States District Court of the Middle District of Florida and the United States District Court of the Southern District of Florida.
I personally assist all of my clients. I take on no case or client unless I personally meet with them and assist them from start to finish. It is this personal professional service that has kept me interested in all aspects of all client's cases. I know all of my clients by name, and all telephone calls are personally answered or returned.

Fantastic Lawyer!
Professional, respectful, and kind. He worked with us on creating wills when our children were born. He's also working with me on my business corporation. It's wonderful working with Tom.

A lawyer and a friend
Tom was most helpful in setting up and informative about all the leagal matters that need to be in place in any persons life. He keeps us updated when anything new happens in the State laws. Could not be a more knowagable and nicer lawyer who we think of also as a friend.
