Posted by Kevin | April 17, 2015 | Personal Injury

Family went from almost accepting a $15k settlement to receiving nearly $1,000,000.

I had a customer come into my retail store in obvious discomfort and pain. He and his wife explained that he had been rear ended by a Waste Management truck, been through a number of medical procedures, lost a well paying job and had to sell a number of personal items. They had hired a well know law ...firm in Tampa and had agreed to a settlement of $15,000. To me it seemed like he should be entitled to a lot more. I suggested they talk to Tom Scarritt, whom had assisted me on a number of minor but irritating legal matters. Long story short, with Tom's representation, they reached an agreement of close to $1,000,000.00. The money from the settlement was needed by the family.

Litigation lawyer | May 20

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have had the privilege of litigating cases and going to trial with Tom several times over the last 5-years. He is a gifted trial lawyer with a preternatural ability to win over juries and judges with compelling and powerful courtroom presentations. He has the ability to distill complex factual and legal issues into persuasive and easily understood narratives. Even though he has been practicing for more than 30-years, I have been amazed at the level of preparation he dedicates to everything he does in preparation for every aspect of a case. I haven't seen a harder working and more effective trial lawyer."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
