With more than 35 years of experience practicing law in Central Florida, I zealously represent my clients with integrity, dedication, and personal concern. I have built a strong reputation with my clients, colleagues, opposing counsel, and the Courts of Orange, Osceola, Lake, Brevard, Volusia, and Seminole counties and throughout the state of Florida.
I am committed to my clients, their well being and their goals. I see success as a journey and not as a destination. I care deeply about my clients, their children and their future where they can not only survive the difficult family law process, but also rise to a level of success and significance.
If reconciliation is possible, I will support my clients' efforts to achieve that goal. If I am called on to represent my client’s interests in Court, Mediation or elsewhere, I will be a zealous advocate while keeping in mind the best interests of the minor children.
I am active in the community and in my church. I frequently speak at various Divorce Care groups in Central Florida and I have focused my time, efforts, and practice in the family relations and litigation areas of the law.

I have and will continue to refer persons seeking a family law attorney to Tom because I know that they will receive not only a very skilled attorney, but also a counselor."

The NADP organization is unique. It not only allows professionals of all walks to strategically network, it provides divorce-centered education and comprehensive development. Tom has an impeccable reputation with other professionals as an excellent lawyer, a man of integrity and a true expert in family law such that other professionals collaborate with Tom to obtain the best result for their clients. I highly recommend Tom to any potential client."
"I have known Tom for many years, first during my years as a paralegal and now in my years as a fellow lawyer. In one of the cases we had, I believe it was the way we worked together that allowed the case to come to a quick and fair resolution. Tom is very knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate. I am honored to endorse him."

He brings years of experience to every case and is an excellent litigator, negotiator and counselor for his clients. I have no reservations referring or recommending clients to go straight to Tom Marks when in need of a family law attorney."
"I endorse Tom. I have referred him clients over many years and he represents his them effectively. We have also worked on some matters jointly and received good results."
"I endorse this lawyer. As an appellate lawyer who has worked with Tom on appeals - where his client did well at trial and the other side appealed - I have reviewed his trial transcripts and motions filed and can attest to the utmost professionalism in both. I have also attended client meetings with him and know he is truly a client-first advocate. I endorse Tom without reservation."
