Thomas “Tom” Dennis
Began defending insurers in South Florida before switching sides. His firm's rideshare page is the only one in this batch that names its authors and carries a dated revision line — Written by Mike Damaso and Tom Dennis, Updated: July 28, 2026. Most of these pages say nothing about who wrote them or when.
The bar record
We read Thomas “Tom” Dennis in the Florida Bar’s member directory. Rows below the line are the ones the member fills in, not the Bar.
Florida publishes ten years, and only ten years. The line above reads 10-Year Discipline History: None. That is a statement about the last decade, not about a career. The Florida Bar is authoritative on what it covers — it publishes bar number, standing, eligibility, admission date and discipline, and it stands behind all of it — but it says nothing whatever about the years before the window opens.
On this page that matters enormously. Timothy David has been admitted forty-one years, so the register reaches under a quarter of his career. Four of the twelve lawyers here have been admitted long enough that most of their record sits outside it. Four others were admitted recently enough that the window covers everything.
And the lower half of the record is the lawyer’s own. Sections, practice areas, languages and firm size are filled in by the member, not verified by the Bar. Six of our twelve Orlando listings left practice areas blank entirely. Where it is filled in it is the only place a register on this site will say what a lawyer holds himself out to do — which is why one entry here reading “Criminal, Criminal Appellate” is worth stopping on.
What the record shows
The rideshare page names two authors and states when it was last updated. Of the twelve pages in this batch, it is the only one that does both — and this site has now published two batches where firm pages turned out to be a decade stale without saying so.Verified
The page also carries eighty-six verified client reviews with dates and a review summary. We do not audit reviews and treat none of them as evidence; the fact that they are dated and attributed is worth more than the score.Verified
His register entry gives the law school without a year, and carries no firm size — two fields that most records in this batch fill in.Verified
He says he is a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates, an invitation-only organisation. The register does not record it.Verified
