Southwest Florida has been home to the Scheiners for almost four decades. It is where they, their fellow attorneys and their staff live and raise their families.

   And it is where they give back to their community.

   The firm is at the forefront in supporting numerous worthwhile causes, including Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the Naples Invitational Art Fest, Eden Foundation’s work for autism treatment, and the Lee County Injury Prevention Coalition.

   For the past 27 years, Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner has partnered with American Bikers Aimed Toward Education (ABATE) to bring holiday gifts to the Gulf Coast Center, a home for more than 150 adults with disabilities.

   Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner also runs a program called Make a Difference, which awards savings bonds to junior high and high school students with winning essays about giving back to their communities in Southwest Florida, including Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Hendry, Glades and Highland counties.

   While the Scheiners are often inundated with requests, rarely a week goes by when they are not participating in a worthwhile cause in the community.

   Because at Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner, we make our home in Southwest Florida, too.
