Thomas Clifford Saunders's Lawyer Endorsements
"Tom Saunders is an outstanding lawyer who I recommend unequivocally. He is the lawyer that I think of when someone in my family asks for a recommendation. Top shelf lawyer and a top shelf man."
"I have known Tom for about 20 years having worked both as co-counsel with him as well as working as opposing counsel. Tom is Double Board Certified by the Florida Bar in both Civil Trial and Business Litigation and has an “AV” rating from Martindale Hubbell. He has served in many leadership positions in local and state bar associations and is well respected by his peers and the judiciary. Tom and his staff are dogged in their pursuit of their clients' interests. I have never seen Tom back away from a fight nor fight when it was unnecessary. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tom to represent anyone involved in a personal injury or medical malpractice case. Additionally, Tom’s business litigation certification and designation as a Super Lawyer in Family Law matters make Tom and his staff an easy choice when civil litigation matters or divorce matters are involved."
