Tampa Bay area Lawyer with more than 30 years experience

Helping Tampa bay area residents with personal challenges

I am Thomas H. McGowan, a sympathetic and straightforward attorney based in St. Petersburg. My practice is diverse, but there are common themes which tie all of my legal work together. The areas of law that I handle are frequently contentious and have the potential to be costly. As a lawyer, I work to separate emotional responses from legal realities and to limit expenses by setting reasonable expectations. I apply these principles to my work in—

These areas of law each have a profound impact on your personal life. I am primarily your advocate but also your counselor in these matters. You can expect me to give you advice that is sensible and realistic.

Efficient and cost-effective legal representation

The remedies afforded by the legal system are limited, and I believe that we should likewise limit our time and your expense even while achieving the best possible results. I developed this point of view after more than 40 years of legal practice in which I have been lead counsel on dozens of jury trials, hundreds of bench trials, and more than 35 appeals. As an attorney, I see myself as a bridge between your emotional investment and the plain language of the law. I bring this legal philosophy to my representation of people in St. Petersburg, Tampa, Clearwater, and throughout Pinellas and Hillsborough counties. Learn more about my approach to legal work.
