Our Attorneys

When people reach out to a law firm, they’re often facing a difficult moment. They may be recovering from an injury or trying to understand their options after an accident. They may also be uncertain about what happens next. During those times, knowing who’s handling your case matters.

Thomas J. Ueberschaer, P.A. is a personal injury, workers’ compensation, and Social Security disability firm serving Pensacola and Northwest Florida, and we treat every client as a relationship, not a case number. When you call, you’ll speak with the person handling your case.

TOM U

Thomas J. “Tom” Ueberschaer

Founding Attorney

Tom has practiced law in Pensacola since 1996, and for most people on the Gulf Coast, he simply is “Ask Tom.” He represents injured people and families across Northwest Florida, and he goes well beyond the courtroom. He has served on the Board of Governors of Florida Workers’ Advocates and travels to Tallahassee to fight for the rights of injured workers. He built this firm so people could work with a lawyer who actually answers.

Eric-S

Eric P. Sventek

Attorney

Eric came to law the long way. He spent years in agriculture and heavy-equipment sales before returning to law school at the University of Akron School of Law, where he graduated magna cum laude. That background gives him a practical, detail-driven approach to the complex injury, insurance, and workers’ compensation cases he handles. Clients get the benefit of both his analytical eye and Tom’s three decades in Pensacola’s courts.

Whether you’re reaching out for the first time or navigating the next steps in an ongoing matter (e.g., insurance negotiations, workers’ compensation claim), direct communication with your attorney can make the situation feel less stressful and more manageable. Tom and Eric bring different experiences to the firm, but they share the same focus: helping people through challenging situations with dedicated representation and personal attention.

You Work Directly With Your Attorney

At a lot of firms, you meet a lawyer once and deal with staff after that. Not here. From your first call to the day your case resolves, you work with Tom or Eric directly, as a person, not a file or a case number.

Ask Tom About Your Case

Tell us what happened and we’ll tell you where you stand. The consultation is free, and you only pay if you win.
