Dan Dalesandro practices exclusively in the area of personal injury litigation and represents only individuals injured by the negligence of others.

He takes special interest in remaining on the cutting edge of personal injury law, insurance law, and personal injury protection.

Warren A. Zimmerman joined Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner in 2008 after a distinguished 25-year career with the United States Attorney's Office. Attorney Zimmerman spent the last 15 years of his federal career as chief of the Civil Division for the Middle District of Florida, including Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville and Fort Myers.

At Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner, Attorney Zimmerman works as a Trial Attorney, using more than two-decades of federal civil trial experience to bring justice to our clients and their families, both in the negotiating room and in the courtroom.

As civil chief with the U.S. Attorney's Office from 1994 to 2008, Attorney Zimmerman supervised the handling of virtually every civil case in Middle Florida -- the third-most populous district in the country -- arising from a motor vehicle accident allegedly caused by a federally employed driver, a slip and fall on federal property or alleged malpractice by a federal VA, military hospital or rural health clinic.

Mr. Zimmerman and his staff represented the United States of America in jury and bench trials, oral arguments before the United States Court of Appeals, grand jury proceedings and settlements and summary judgments too numerous to mention.

If you are taking the time to read my profile, you understand the importance of choosing a qualified attorney with integrity. I am a founding member of the law firm of REEDER & NUSSBAUM, P.A. My practice focuses on representing clients who were injured in all types of accidents due to someone else's negligence. I also handle cases for clients who have disputes with their insurance companies, as well as creditor harassment cases for individuals being harassed by debt collectors.

From the day I graduated law school over 10 years ago, I immediately found myself in the courtroom advocating for my clients while working as an attorney at a large civil litigation law firm in Manhattan, New York. There, I represented clients ranging from automobile and premises liability insurance companies, to the New York City Housing and New York City Transit Authorities, to Delta Saws. This firm held an "AV" rating, the highest rating a law firm can receive. After moving to Florida, I continued my litigation experience when I began working at another "AV" rated law firm, located in St. Petersburg, Florida.

My defense experience provided me with an understanding of how insurance companies evaluate claims, as well as the strategies and techniques used by insurance companies and adjusters in defending against lawsuits filed by injured individuals. I now put my defense and litigation background to use for my injured clients.

I understand that each client's case is unique. I treat my clients with the utmost respect and accept nothing less from insurance adjusters, law enforcement officers, other attorneys, or anyone else that may interact with my clients during the claim process. My client files have names not numbers, and I know each of them personally.

My practice includes the following types of cases:

* Automobile Accidents
* Wrongful Death
* Trucking Accidents
* Motorcycle Accidents
* Bicycle Accidents
* Moped/Scooter Accidents
* Slip/Trip and Fall Accidents
* Boating Accidents
