I graduated from the University of Miami Law School cum laude in 1989. I have been a practicing trial lawyer for the past 24 years.. I started my career as an Assistant State Attorney working for Janet Reno in the Miami-Dade County State Attorney’s Office where I prosecuted everything from DUIs to Traffic Homicide, Armed Robbery and Murder cases. I have had extensive experience in the DUI Traffic Homicide Division where we worked on many cases involving traffic crash analysis and accident reconstruction. As an assistant state attorney and legal intern before that, I tried over 47 jury trials before I went into private practice in 1991.. Since that date, I have dedicated my career to being a Florida Trial Attorney handling mainly Personal Injury cases.   I have tried to make personal attention to my clients my theme over the past two decades. That means all my clients get my cell phone number and I am always available for conference calls or in person meetings with clients as often as they desire and for whatever reason they desire.. I have been involved in thousands of personal injury cases since the early 1990’s, including successful jury trials and settlements with all the major insurance companies.. I am active with various Bar Associations and have maintained an excellent working relationship with other lawyers, judges, doctors and other health professionals who treat my clients.. I handle all of my cases personally and have been doing so out of my Plantation Office since 1998. I opened an office in Naples, Florida in 2004. What differentiates me from my competitors is that I personally meet with all clients and give all clients my cell phone number so they can reach me on nights and weekends, if necessary. All of my clients receive personal attention and I do not refer my cases to any other lawyers if they do not settle. I try all my own cases and have obtained millions of dollars in jury verdicts over the years. I am currently accepting cases throughout the State of Florida.

Hi. My name is Brent Del Gaizo. I have been practicing law down here in South Florida for over 17 years. While I was born in Green Bay, WI, I have lived in Florida for most of my life (with those years spent both in Broward County and in Gainesville), and my family is originally from Boston. Prior to Law School, I spent many years working in the Service Industry (as a cook, and server), and I feel truly terrible about the harm that the pandemic has caused to all the people working in that field. While going to Law School, I worked both as a Law Clerk, and also as a Certified Legal Intern (having been approved by the Florida Supreme Court). After graduating from Law School cum laude, I started my career at the Miami-Dade Public Defender's Office, where I spent nearly every day (over the course of several years) inside of a courtroom defending people who had been arrested. I then spent time working as an Associate at private Law Frims, concentrating on Civl Law, Mortgage Foreclosures, Commercial Litigation, Personal Injury, and Medical Malpractice. In 2006, I decided that the time was right to open up my own Law Frim (Law Offices of Brent Del Gaizo, P.A.), and I haven't looked back since. I am a big fan of the Florida Gators, watching football, the Rolling Stones, Casablanca, Pulp Fiction, animals, and Godzilla.
