Thomas B. Cowart

I had two years of hell with Cowart as my attorney on a personal injury care. He would disappear, not return calls, change offices, and phone numbers and tell me after the fact. I once spent months trying to reach him on a phone number he gave me only to be told by him later that he never answe...rs that number. I was a wreck dealing with him. After we got a settlement. He wouldn't give it to me. He left the office he was in, and told me after the fact. I had to negotiated the medical bills owed on my own. And paid everything out of my pocket while he held onto the settlement check. Then after all that, he made me gave me no discount even after all the work I had done and made me give him a cashiers check for his fees before he would endorse the settlement check over to me. He is sloppy in his procedures, procrastinates and will bore you endlessly with lawyer stories wasting your time. He is the worst attorney I have ever met Use him only if you want delays, his disappearing continually, lies about things to make himself appear knowledgeable and stress.. My recommendation is to NOT USE THIS attorney.

In March of 2006 my wife & I were involved in a single vehicle wreck, caused by the mechanical failure of aftermarket parts. I spent 7 months in the hospital & over 2 years later am still relearning to walk. We hired Nick Nuspl as our Attorney, & after sizing up the case, he brought in Marc Lenahan &... Appellate Attorney Tom Cowart; as he put it, “3 Attorneys for the price of 1.” The huge obstacle in this case was that the wreck obscured the initial failing. However, the combined legal talents with their observations, plus those of experts in the field, showed that the engineering was flawed & installation was poor. It was then discovered that the total exposure of the defendants Insurance Company was only $1M. By knowing the law, then being polite & co-operative with the defense, we had a settlement, for the full amount, only 26 months after the wreck. Not the more common, partial settlement, in 4 to 6 years! Most Appellate Attorneys get involved when the case goes to trial. Tom, however, was present from the beginning, even coming to house & crawling around the damaged vehicle; in a suit & tie! His expertise helped guide the team in general & made the critical definitive decision on which state to bring the lawsuit in. That decision, I’m told, was based on something, “only one in a thousand attorneys,” would have known. We feel that Tom is a highly skilled & experienced Attorney with integrity & character, who honestly cares about his clients.
