Frequently Asked Questions  About Us     Qualifications     Mission     FAQs

1. What type of clients do Associates & Bruce L. Scheiner represent?

Our firm only represents people who have been injured due to the negligence of other individuals or businesses. We do not represent big insurance companies or big businesses. Our clients are people just like you - people who may be entitled to just compensation for the harm they've suffered.

2. How can I be sure my case will get the attention it deserves?

At Associates & Bruce L. Scheiner, we follow a highly effective case management strategy we refer to as the "team" approach. From the time a case file is first opened, a number of different attorneys and experienced paralegal assistants may work on a personal injury lawsuit before it is concluded. This approach has helped our firm grow into one of the most successful personal injury law firms in Southwest Florida. With that growth has come the resources necessary to provide our clients with a vast array of professional services and personal attention.

3. Will I have any say in how my case is handled?

Yes! We believe the client is the most important member of our team and we stress the need to maintain a close, working relationship with each one. We encourage full and open communications with our clients and rely on their input at every stage of a case.

4. Will Associates & Bruce L. Scheiner be able to help me even though I don't speak English?

Yes! To accommodate the diversity of languages spoken by residents and visitors alike, we view translators as important members of the Associates & Bruce L. Scheiner team and many of our employees are bilingual, speaking Spanish, Creole/French, German, French and other languages in addition to English. We can also provide a variety of special needs services such as sign interpreters for the hearing impaired whenever necessary.

5. How much does Associates & Bruce L. Scheiner charge for the initial consultation?

There is absolutely no charge for an initial consultation! You can visit any one of our seven office locations in South Florida during regular business hours to discuss your case or you can call us for a free phone consultation. Our on-call staff is available to speak with prospective clients 24-hours a day, seven days per week. We can even arrange to visit a prospective client in their home or hospital room if they are physically unable to come to our office, again at no charge.

6. If I decide to let Associate & Bruce L. Scheiner handle my case, how much will I be charged?

Clients who decide to retain the services our firm provides pay no attorney fees or costs unless we obtain a settlement on their behalf. There are no up-front charges and no monthly legal bills. If we don't bring your case to a successful conclusion, you don't pay. It's as simple as that.

7. I'm not sure I need an attorney. Can't I just accept a lump-sum settlement if offered?

Deciding if you should accept a lump-sum settlement and if so, what amount you should accept, are complex questions that could affect you the rest of your life. An experienced Florida personal injury, medical malpractice or product liability attorney will help you focus on important issues that may need to be addressed, including:
a) the seriousness of your specific injuries;
b) the extent you are permanently disabled;
c) your future lost income and;
e) the possibility that you may require future medical treatment.

Remember: By accepting a lump-sum settlement, you will be forever releasing the plaintiff and his or her insurance company from any future medical treatment related to your accident or injury. At Associates & Bruce L. Scheiner, we can't predict the future - but we can help you prepare for it.

At Associates & Bruce L. Scheiner, our entire staff works hard to earn a client's confidence. We believe each client deserves to be treated with the respect, the attention and the caring he or she deserves. In short, we treat every client like we would want to be treated.
