Tavis launched his legal career as an Assistant State Attorney for the 15th Judicial Circuit in Florida. During his tenure, he was appointed to the Major Crimes Division – Traffic Homicide Unit, where he prosecuted vehicular homicide and DUI manslaughter cases. This role provided him with extensive hands-on experience and advanced training in accident reconstruction, which he now leverages to advocate effectively for individuals injured by large trucks and commercial vehicles.
Following his service at the Office of the State Attorney, Tavis worked in-house for one of the nation's largest insurance companies, defending against negligence claims and secured numerous defense verdicts at trial. Despite his success in this role, he felt a strong calling to advocate for victims of negligence.

After filing a motion for punitive damages, the store significantly increased its offer, settling the case for $325,000.

Wow! I'm truly amazed by Tavis and his team. After my case stalled for 4 years with another firm, they referred me to Tavis. It seemed like my case was going nowhere, but Tavis quickly settled it with an outcome far better than expected. The speed and efficiency were remarkable. Tavis did what no one else could, and I'm incredibly thankful. This law firm goes above and beyond for their clients. Thank you, Tavis Souder, for your exceptional work!
