About Preston J.
Preston J. Scheiner earned a history degree from Amherst College in 2004 and completed his J.D. at the University of Miami School of Law in 2007. His academic path combined an interest in historical context with formal training in courtroom procedure and legal analysis. The sequence of liberal arts study followed by professional schooling shaped his approach to litigation and legal research.
He began his career as a trial lawyer in 2007, working at the firm of Bruce L. Scheiner. Early courtroom work gave him regular exposure to jury trials and courtroom advocacy. He later added a National Institute for Trial Advocacy (NITA) Advocate designation to his credentials, a program that focuses on trial technique and practical courtroom skills.
Scheiner is licensed to practice in Florida and in the Federal Court for the Middle District of Florida. He holds memberships in several bar and trial organizations: the Florida Bar Association, the American Bar Association, the American Association for Justice, the American Trial Lawyers Association, the Florida Justice Association, the Association of Plaintiff Interstate Trucking Lawyers of America (APITLA), the Lawyers Pilots Bar Association, and the Lee County Bar Association. Those affiliations connect him to peers who litigate in both state and federal venues and to groups that concentrate on plaintiff-side practice and transportation liability issues.
Over the years his work has centered on courtroom advocacy and case preparation. He has handled matters that required trial readiness and federal filing experience. Colleagues describe him as methodical in trial preparation and deliberate in courtroom presentation. He balances attention to factual detail with an emphasis on persuasive storytelling for jurors.
He practices at Bruce L. Scheiner and handles trial matters in Florida state courts and in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. His current practice emphasizes litigation and trial work in those forums.
