Jurisdictions: New York - Admitted in 1999 (10 years), Florida - Admitted in 2001 (8 years)

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
* Recreational Vehicle
* Accidents Aviation Accidents
* Construction Accidents
* Pedestrian Accidents
* Daycare Accidents
* Bus Accidents
* Railroad Accidents
* Back and Neck Injuries
* Spinal Cord Injuries
* Closed Head Injuries
* Burn Injuries
* Animal Bites
* Nursing Home Abuse
* Assault and Battery
* Products Liability
* Mold/Mildew Cases
* Premises Liability Cases
* Negligent Security
* Insurance Claim Disputes
* Creditor Harassment
* Sexual Harassment
* Dram Shop/Liquor Liability

I understand that accidents and injuries often happen after business hours. That is why an attorney at Reeder & Nussbaum is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you contact our office you will speak directly with an attorney. All consultations are free and you do not owe us anything unless we collect money for you. To speak with me about your case, please call our office at (888) 855-6022.

I represents clients in the Tampa Bay Area including Tampa, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, New Port Richey, Tarpon Springs, Palmetto, Palm Harbor, Brandon, Bradenton, Sarasota, Dade City, Lakeland, Plant City, Anna Maria, Dunedin, Crystal River, Inverness, Ocala Orlando, Ft. Myers, and Kissimmee. We serve all of Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, Pasco County, Manatee County, Sarasota County, Polk County, Hernando County, Charlotte County, Lee County, Citrus County, Orange County, Osceola County, Citrus County. I am also available to all major metropolitan areas of Florida.

Education: Stetson University College of Law

Jurisdictions: Florida - Admitted in 1977 (32 years)

Richard C. Griesinger is among the most experienced divorce attorneys in Pinellas County. Since 1985, he has aggressively represented divorce clients in North Pinellas County (i.e., in the Palm Harbor, Clearwater, Oldsmar, Tarpon Springs area). His practice is limited exclusively to divorce/custody law. His typical cases involve contested, and often complex, issues of custody, alimony, and equitable distribution. Mr. Griesinger graduated from Stetson College of Law in Pinellas County in 1977, then served as Clearwater Asst. City Attorney until he began private practice in North Pinellas in 1985. He is a member in good standing of the Clearwater Bar Association (Family Law Section) and the Florida Bar Association (Family Law Section).

Mr. Griesinger knows that divorce lawyers, above all else, must be expert problem solvers. Therefore, he takes pride in his research and case analytical skills, as well as his straightforward approach with clients. Judges, not juries, hear divorce cases. On a personal level, he is also proud to have been a Big Brother and a volunteer at a nursing home for many years. Because judges do not want emotion brought into their courtrooms (even in cases involving children), Mr. Griesinger strives to ensure each client displays as little emotion as possible in court, whether testifying or not.

The way that Mr. Griesinger discusses the facts and law with each client will often be different (that is, more negative) from the way he presents them to the judge and opposing attorney. But Mr. Griesinger will never enter a courtroom in a defensive mode. If a client asks his opinion of the outcome of the case or specific issue, he will tell it like he sees it, and give a percentage of probability (which sometimes changes as the case develops).

Our law office is located at 31119 U.S. 19 North, Palm Harbor FL 34684, on the Clearwater/Palm Harbor border, convenient to Tarpon Springs, East Lake Woodlands and Oldsmar, Countryside and Clearwater, Safety Harbor, and Dunedin. For more information, feel free to visit our website at www.divorcelawtampabay.com, or call us at (727) 786-9800 and Mr. Griesinger will personally discuss your case with you by phone.
