About DeeDee Scheller — Over 12 years of Florida general experience

DeeDee Scheller’s practice is dedicated to pursuing justice for victims of sexual abuse.

In addition to her courtroom success, DeeDee has also achieved significant success in pre-suit litigation, often resolving claims before a lawsuit is filed, including multiple policy-limit and seven figure recoveries in high-stakes cases.

DeeDee earned her J.D. with honors from the University of Florida Levin College of Law.
