Thomas P. Schmitt
INJURY LAW
Thomas Paul “Tom” Schmitt, Esquire, formed his own law firm,
Florida Personal Injury Law Team, because he desired to practice
law differently from other law firms he had worked for in the
past. He wanted his primary focus to be on “the client,” not on the law
firm, and only by owning his own firm was he able to bring this desire
to fruition. Mr. Schmitt opened the first office of Florida Personal Injury
Law Team in Orlando, Florida in 2018. The firm’s Orlando offices are in
the Regents Bank Building on South Kirkman Road.
Mr. Schmitt firmly believes that Florida Personal Injury Law Team
practices personal injury law differently from many other personal
injury law firms; and his more than sixty 5 Star Google Reviews
demonstrate, in his clients’ own words, that he is experienced,
accomplished, compassionate, tenacious, smart, honest, ethical to a
fault and, most importantly to Mr. Schmitt, focused on giving his clients
the personal attention they deserve.
Mr. Schmitt is a native Floridian who was born in Miami and has
lived in Florida for his entire life. He was raised in Palm Beach County
and attended parochial school, college, and law school, all in the
Sunshine State.
Mr. Schmitt is a member in good standing of The Florida Bar, the
American Bar Association, the Florida Justice Association (Eagle
Member during many years) and the Central Florida Trial Lawyers’
Association. He was formerly a member of the Martin County Bar
Association and the Palm Beach County Bar Association. He has served
on both the Judicial Professionalism Committee for the 15th Judicial
Circuit, Florida, and the Judicial Relations Committee of the Palm Beach
County Bar Association. He is a former Director of the Young Lawyer’s
Division of the Academy of Florida Trial Lawyers. He is admitted to
practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit,
the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, and
All Courts of the State of Florida.
Mr. Schmitt is proud to have received many awards and other
recognitions during his more than three decades as a personal injury
trial attorney. Among his many achievements, he is a Lifetime Member
of the National Order of Barristers, and a Lifetime member of both the
Million Dollar and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forums, “The Top
Trial Lawyers in America.” He has been recognized as “America’s Best Top
10 Personal Injury Attorney 2021.” He has also been recognized in “The
National Law Journal’s Top 100 Verdicts” and “Top 50 Verdicts” of 2014.
He obtained the 34th largest jury verdict in the United States in 2014.
And, Mr. Schmitt has proudly maintained a “Superior” 10 AVVO Score for
more than a decade.
Mr. Schmitt’s career has been dedicated to assisting the injured,
and he has practiced exclusively as an “Expert Plaintiff’s Personal Injury
Trial Specialist Attorney” handling, among many other types of cases,
automobile, motorcycle, trucking, brain injury, slip/trip and fall, and
wrongful death cases. His reputation for always being prepared, always
having an intimate knowledge of the law, his clients, and his clients’
cases is well known. He is a formidable opponent inside the courtroom.
Mr. Schmitt has obtained several million dollar and multi-million dollar
jury awards and settlements throughout Florida. His results include a
jury verdict in a motorcycle vs. trucking/tractor trailer wrongful death
case in which an Orlando jury awarded $15.2 million for his client, the
second largest motorcycle jury verdict in the State of Florida, ever.
Formerly, Mr. Schmitt practiced law on the Treasure Coast for nearly a
decade and he is proud to have recently opened a brand-new office of
SPONSORED FEATURE
Florida Personal Injury Law Team in Port St. Lucie. Mr. Schmitt is proud
to once again represent injured clients on the Treasure Coast. He is
especially proud of his team of lawyers and paralegals, among other
staff members, and he has regularly expressed his appreciation for
having been blessed with such an honest, compassionate, experienced,
loyal and hard-working staff. Mr. Schmitt believes that the consistent,
superior results that he achieves for his clients is due in large part to this
cooperative of all members of the Florida Personal Injury Law Team.
Mr. Schmitt is an accomplished pianist, vocalist, sketch artist, and
ballroom dancer. For most of his life, he has been an avid boater and
has been the proud owner of many speed boats, small fishing boats,
large sport fishing boats, and sport yachts over his lifetime. Mr. Schmitt,
his loving wife, Lekky, and his precocious 2-year-old son, Paulie, live
on a ranch on the Palatlakaha River in Groveland, Florida where they
enjoy wide open spaces, fresh air, the sounds of horses, birds, crickets,
frogs, alligators, roosters, and an occasional cow. They cherish the everpresent
star-filled skies, and the picturesque sunsets. The Schmitt family
also resides part-time in their home on Hutchinson Island, where they
can enjoy the Atlantic Ocean with its beautiful sunrises. Mr. Schmitt lists
his priorities as: God, family, country, and the Florida Personal Injury Law
Team and its clients.
