After many years and hundreds of cases, Attorney Adrian Thomas has learned that the facts are always the same in a general sense, but have infinite variety as to the particulars.  There is always an elderly person, usually alone, and a predatory relative, friend, or caretaker who takes advantage of the loneliness, dependency and infirmity of old age.  The large elderly and affluent population in Florida has created a hotbed for abuse and subsequent litigation.  The attorneys at Adrian Philip Thomas, P.A. understand that while clients are best served by first attempting to negotiate an honest, fair and prompt resolution to a dispute, it often becomes necessary for an estate attorney to litigate in order to preserve and protect a family member's personal rights and assets or a client's inheritance.

In 2012, Mr. Thomas and his law partner, Daniel A. McGowan, made headlines in the Daily Business Review for trying and winning an undue influence case in front of a jury.  Click here for a link to the Attorney Adrian Thomas Review article.
