Tamara J. Spires
Title: Trial Attorney
Office: Sarasota, FL
Tamara J. Spires is an experienced trial attorney and has served as lead counsel in over 50 county and circuit court cases with extensive experience in personal injury, residential real estate, civil rights law, family law, and criminal law.
Tamara grew up in Miami, where she saw significant disparities and mistreatment due to socio-economic status, race, ethnic background, and religion. By becoming an attorney, she knew that she could serve as a voice for the voiceless, advocate for the underdog, and relentlessly pursue justice. Attorneys have specialized knowledge, skills, and “power” that others do not have. She chose to use her training and skillset to help others. “My parents taught me to never look down on those who look up to me, and I remind myself of that advice daily to aid me in my legal career.”
Tamara described herself as an advocate and trusted counselor who often sees through the complexities of legal issues to find solutions for her clients. Tamara’s work and experience in personal injury, criminal law, and family law have made her a skilled and prudent negotiator. If negotiations do not benefit her clients, Tamara’s experience allows her to effortlessly pivot, utilizing her experience as a trial attorney to hold opposing counsel accountable.
Client communication is the cornerstone of Tamara’s law practice. “My philosophy is to always be transparent and consistent with the people who’ve trusted me to represent them,” says Tamara. “That consistency level gives us an advantage over our adversaries because we work as a team to keep our clients informed every step of the way.”
Tamara earned her law degree from Stetson University College of Law, and her B.A. degree from Florida A&M University, graduating with honors. Tamara sits on the Sarasota County Bar Association (SCBA) Board of Directors, and she is heavily involved in the SCBA’s Council for Diversity and Inclusion.
Outside of the office, Tamara enjoys volunteering and giving back to the community. “As an attorney, I strongly believe in serving my community inside and outside the courtroom,” adds Tamara. I’m deeply passionate about empowering women and children and helping others reach their most significant potential.”
When not in the courtroom or volunteering, Tamara enjoys horseback riding, running, reading, spending time with family and friends, and traveling.

As an experienced leader in these types of lawsuits, we were confident the firm would have the expertise. However, what surprised us most was the high level of excellent customer service from the firm’s staff!

I can’t recommend this firm enough. They have an outstanding team that truly care for their clients…I have been awarded a fair six figure settlement.

When I say “they went to bat” for me…this Law Firm literally did just that. They persevered to bring the hard-nosed Manufacturer to settle and provide me some recompense for everything I had to endure which led to this suit.
