Bulldog for the underdog

Sheldon Schlesinger has earned a reputation for being one of the most successful medical malpractice attorneys in the state of Florida, with one judge entering a court order after a successful trial saying that Schlesinger is “one of the most experienced and skilled attorneys which the Florida Bar has to offer.” His practice has not been limited to medical negligence — he has also taken on many high profile product liability cases. He served as a member of the team that took on the tobacco industry in Florida, helping to secure the $13 billion award for Florida victims. He has also won millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements against automotive manufacturers, the pharmaceutical industry, and hospital chains. Schlesinger’s work representing clients injured by negligent auto manufacturers led to the industry redesigning vehicles in order to prevent post-crash fuel fires.
