THOMAS F. BRINK

Tom’s practice focuses primarily on general liability, premises liability and property cases. His past experience includes most areas of first and third party litigation, SIU, fraud, bad faith, PIP, sinkhole litigation, subrogation, errors and omissions, guardianships and elder care issues.

Prior to joining Litchfield Cavo LLP, Tom served as senior counsel for CNA Insurance, where he handled major general liability, property, premises liability and subrogation cases from their inception through conclusion at mediation or trial. He also served as the Deputy Director of the Statewide Public Guardianship Office where he coordinated the training and education of public guardians throughout the state of Florida.

Before attending law school, Tom worked for Prudential Financial Services for almost eleven years. As a senior adjuster in Florida, he handled major property losses and served on the company’s catastrophe team; he also assisted in catastrophe relief following Hurricane Andrew in South Florida in 1992.

In law school, Tom earned a certificate of concentration in elder law, and from 1999-2000 he served on the Lt. Governor's Task Force on Availability and Affordability of Long Term Care to improve elder care in Florida. He also interned with the Florida Attorney General’s office in the Economic Crimes and Elder Protection divisions, and with Florida State Senator John Grant in the Statewide Public Guardianship Office. In both 2004 and 2005, Tom was recognized by Florida Trend as one of the state’s 40 “Best Up-and-Coming Attorneys,” based on peer voting.

Since 2003, Tom has served as an adjunct professor of law at Stetson University College of Law, teaching a skills course in “Interviewing Counseling and Negotiation.”
