Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner, Attorneys for the Injured

"Big Enough To Help - Small Enough To Care" has been our guiding principle for nearly four decades. Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner, with over 20,000 cases under our belt, has become synonymous with providing assistance to accident victims across Southwest Florida.

Our focus is clear: we do not represent large corporations or insurance companies. Instead, we exclusively stand by those who have suffered severe injuries or lost loved ones due to the negligence of other drivers, businesses, corporations, officials, or professionals.

Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner specializes in representing victims involved in various accidents, including those with cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, DUI incidents, and planes. Additionally, we handle cases concerning defective products, bad drugs, professional malpractice, nursing home abuse, dog bites, slip and fall incidents, premise liability, and other personal injury matters.

No Win, No Fee Guarantee

Mr. Scheiner's promise is straightforward: you will not incur any expenses unless we secure a victory for your case. His decision to take on your case is a testament to his belief in its merit and his genuine concern for your well-being.

Our firm bears the financial responsibility of investigating your case, enlisting expert support, engaging with insurance companies, and, if required, representing you in court. If we succeed in obtaining compensation for you, we receive our fees. If we do not recover compensation, you owe us nothing.

Experience the Distinction

In a legal landscape filled with diverse attorneys, ranging from out-of-town practitioners with local offices to those who merely list their names in phone books, Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner is distinctive. Bruce L. Scheiner has dedicated his career to representing individuals who have endured significant injuries or losses right here in Southwest Florida. He founded his Fort Myers office in 1971, becoming one of the most seasoned attorneys among the over 800 registered with the Lee County Bar Association. Consider that when he graduated from law school, the Florida Bar counted only 12,924 members, compared to the 100,000-plus members today, which includes retirees and non-practicing attorneys.

Mr. Scheiner began representing accident victims two years before airbags were introduced in the 1973 Oldsmobile Toronado. He had been practicing law for nearly two decades when Chrysler made airbags standard in 1988.

This raises an essential question: who do you want advocating for you and your family?

A Team of Seasoned Professionals

Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner offers you the legal and financial might of one of the region's premier firms while preserving the dedication and personal service reminiscent of a neighborhood law office.

Starting with a modest one-room office in downtown Fort Myers, Mr. Scheiner expanded by adding the first associate attorney in 1975. In 1979, he constructed his own 10,000 square foot building at Winkler and Evans avenues, still serving as our headquarters today. Originally intended to house other offices as well, the firm quickly outgrew the building, leading to a 10,000 square foot addition in 1986.

Today, Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner boasts a team of over 50 professionals, including attorneys, paralegals, registered nurses, law students, retired police officers, case managers, journalists, private investigators, and former insurance executives. Our strategically located offices span Fort Myers, Naples, Port Charlotte, and Cape Coral.

Additionally, we maintain an extensive network of external doctors, medical and legal experts, investigators, and fellow attorneys who can assist with various aspects, from case preparation to the appeals process.

Our seasoned and dedicated staff provides a comprehensive range of legal and professional services tailored to address each client's unique needs in virtually every situation, from resolving neighborhood disputes, like dog bites, to managing media relations in the aftermath of a catastrophe.

A Family-Centered Approach

Working tirelessly six or seven days a week, Mr. Scheiner, his wife Cheryl, who oversees the office, and their son PJ, who joined as an associate attorney in August 2007, have nurtured one of Southwest Florida's largest legal practices. At Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner, every client is treated like family. Our highly effective case-management strategy prioritizes client needs and promotes transparent communication at every stage of your case.
