Our History

Tom Scolaro, founder and senior managing partner of Scolaro Law, P.A., has spent 25 years building a reputation as a leading personal injury attorney in Miami. Concentrating his practice in complex injury and death claims, Tom has secured over $500 million in jury verdicts and settlements across Florida and beyond. He has handled virtually every type of injury case, and his dedication ensures that no case is too challenging for him or his team.

Tom’s passion for helping victims stems from a personal tragedy—his brother’s serious injury caused by a drunk driver. This ignited his drive to fight for justice and serve as a tenacious advocate for those in need. After 25 years at a boutique firm, Tom established Scolaro Law to deepen his commitment to serving injured victims. His work ethic and belief in the law’s duty to protect everyone shaped his commitment to this work.

From New York To Miami

Tom’s journey from Rockland County, New York, to becoming a prominent attorney in Miami is a story of perseverance. Growing up in a broken home after his parents’ divorce, Tom faced many challenges, living in a trailer park and deciding to rise above his circumstances. With a dream of starting fresh, he chose Miami over Seattle after his car steered him in that direction.

Once in Miami, Tom enrolled at the University of Miami Law School, where he developed the legal skills that would shape his career. After graduating, he spent 25 years at a boutique firm, becoming a named partner and earning the trust of New York lawyers seeking Florida representation. His journey from humble beginnings to a respected legal career reflects his resilience and commitment to doing what’s right for his clients.

“I’ve never seen a plaintiff’s attorney do what Tom does”

Among insurance adjusters and attorneys who defend cases prosecuted by Tom Scolaro, there is what is known as the “Rule of 3”: Take the $ result another attorney will get, and multiply it by 3, and that’s what Tom Scolaro is expected to get for his client. Tom was born to be a trial lawyer. He comes from humble roots — but those roots taught him to be competitive, to be relentless, to be compassionate about every soul he represents. He has unmatched deposition skills, prolific trial talent, and an unrivaled ability to connect with juries. He will negotiate anyone under the table, and if the other side is not smart enough to settle with a client represented by Tom Scolaro, he will make them pay. An expert tactician in the courtroom, Tom takes no prisoners and has no peers. I worked for many great lawyers at renowned law firms. But I’ve never seen a plaintiff’s attorney do what Tom does. He is simply the best.

Mason Kerns, Esq.

“I will continue to work with and refer civil cases to him to obtain the maximum recovery!”

Not only is Tom a highly skilled trial attorney, he is also extremely adept at obtaining high level settlements. Just having his name on the demand letter or complaint increases the value of almost any case just based upon his incredible reputation.

Frequently Asked Question

The timeline for resolving a personal injury case can vary significantly. It depends on factors such as the case’s complexity, the severity of your injuries, and whether the case can be settled before filing suit or proceeding to trial. While many cases resolve in a few months, others may take a year or longer. At Scolaro Law, we work diligently to expedite the process. Our guiding principle is simple: we are committed to ensuring you receive the maximum compensation possible, no matter how long it takes. Unlike other firms, we do not take a shortsighted approach. We never pressure our clients into settling early for a quick fee. We fight relentlessly for the best possible recovery for our clients—always, without exception.

At Scolaro Law, we work exclusively on a contingency fee basis. This means you owe us nothing unless we win your case, and our compensation is not tied to the hours we spend representing and advocating for you. Our contingency fees follow Florida Bar Rules. Attorneys’ costs refer to case-related expenses such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and charges for obtaining records or documents. We know that every dollar spent on your case reduces your ultimate recovery. For this reason, we approach litigation strategically and are conservative in managing costs. Our primary goal is to maximize your recovery while maintaining complete transparency every step of the way.

The value of a personal injury case depends on many known factors, such as the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, and the impact on your daily life now and in the future. It also depends on less predictable elements, such as the defendant’s actions and your actions, and how these align with the law to strengthen or weaken your case. We cannot predict or promise a specific amount upfront. However, what we can promise is this: if we take your case, it is because we believe in the strength of your claim, and with our experience fighting for clients, we are confident that the outcome will be favorable and will make a meaningful difference in your life.

Yes, Scolaro Law exclusively focuses on personal injury cases, including car accidents, truck accidents, cruise ship injuries, negligent security, sexual assault, medical malpractice, defective products, and more. With over 25 years of experience and a track record of securing substantial recoveries, Tom Scolaro has handled a wide range of complex personal injury claims in which other Florida firms refused to get involved.

This is one of the most common questions our clients ask because it is one of the most important. Your medical bills may be paid through various sources, such as your health insurance, automobile insurance (if you were involved in a motor vehicle accident), or at the end of your case from your settlement. In other words, as our client, you do not have to pay for any of your medical bills before your case is over. Our clients can often worry about large pending medical bills. Still, our team has extensive knowledge of resolving your balances to further maximize your recovery at the end of your case.

We evaluate potential cases by considering all the facts, evidence, liability issues and weaknesses, and the extent of your injuries. Our primary focus is whether we can make a meaningful difference in your recovery by holding at-fault parties responsible for causing your injuries. At Scolaro Law, we are committed to openly discussing potential issues with your case, providing our honest evaluation, and only taking your case if we believe we can achieve a favorable outcome for you. 

Yes, we represent clients nationwide and beyond who were injured in Florida. Whether you are a resident or visiting from another state or another country, we will handle your personal injury case with the same dedication. We will ensure seamless communication throughout the life of your case and keep you as informed as if you were in Miami, Florida. Many of Tom Scolaro’s most significant results have been with out-of-state and international clients.

No, and for two reasons. We believe in maintaining open communication and keeping you involved in key decisions, and none is more prominent than resolving your case. We will never resolve your case or accept a settlement without discussing it and ensuring you understand all the terms. Second, as a client of Scolaro Law, you make the final decision regarding the settlement of your case – not us – and we will notify you of all settlement offers before and after the trial.

A statute of limitations is the legal deadline for filing a lawsuit. Most personal injury cases in Florida must be filed within two years of the incident, but exceptions may apply. In cases against cruise lines, the statute of limitations is even shorter (one year). Missing this deadline is a total bar and could prevent you from recovering compensation. This is why, if a person is injured due to someone else’s negligence, it is paramount to consult with one of our attorneys before it is too late.

Once you have signed the contract, our team will gather evidence in your case, contact insurance companies, and obtain your medical records. We will continually update you on the best legal strategy we wish to adopt while guiding you through each phase of your case. You will have a dedicated text number with our firm, allowing us to communicate quickly and efficiently. If you have questions that require a deeper conversation, we are just a phone call away and always here to help. Most importantly, we want you to let go of any anxiety or fear of the unknown. Focus on healing, getting better, and following your medical treatment and doctor(s)’ advice. Trust that we will handle the heavy lifting and take on the pressure so you can concentrate solely on your recovery.
