Scott P. Distasio

Scott Distasio founded Distasio Law Firm in 2006 with a clear mission: to bring a higher level of ethics and expertise to personal injury law. What really sets Scott apart is that he is a Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer, a distinction held by less than 1% of Florida attorneys. This isn’t just a title; it’s proof that he has the extensive trial experience and specialized knowledge to be called an expert. Interestingly, Scott started his career on the other side of the aisle, defending doctors, hospitals, and large corporations. This "insider" background is a huge advantage for his clients today because he knows exactly how the defense thinks and how insurance companies try to minimize claims. His peers have recognized his skill and integrity with an "AV" rating—the highest possible mark for legal ability—and he is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum for his success in securing major verdicts. From his education at the University of Florida to his admission to the U.S. Supreme Court, Scott has spent over three decades mastering the nuances of medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, and complex accident cases. While he calls Tampa home, he puts this elite level of advocacy to work for clients throughout the entire state of Florida.
