For 15 years, Paul W. Rebein, Esq. represented Fortune 500 Clients in personal injury, products liability and business cases.  As partner at a major law firm, he found himself drawn to the people – not the businesses – who genuinely needed his help.  “I wanted to help individuals instead of large companies,” says Paul.  “I like knowing I’m making a difference in someone’s life.”  Growing up on a farm in Kansas, Paul and his six brothers knew the meaning of hard work at a young age, and that has stayed with him.

Mr. Rebein received his Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1992 and graduated with highest distinction from the University of Kansas with a B.A in 1989. Mr. Rebein is licensed to practice law in Florida, Missouri and Kansas. 

Mr. Rebein has been a board member and the Legal Panel Chair for the Tampa Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union and has handled several high profile cases. These cases include a successful defense of the “MacDill 9” protestor criminal trial; SpeakUp Tampa Bay v. Hillsborough County Commissioners, a case where he successfully overturned the County’s elimination of funding for public access television; and McKune v. Lile, a 5^th Amendment case that was argued before the United States Supreme Court.   

Mr. Rebein is also a board member and Regional Co-Chair of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, a prominent civil rights organization in Washington, D.C.

Mr. Rebein is currently handling several class actions including cases against Wal-Mart, Netflix, Dairy Farmers of America, Inc., and Phillips-Magnavox.  He is also representing clients throughout the state of Florida in litigation involving the drug Reglan.

Paul’s goal is to get his clients the maximum results.  "I’m excited to bring my big firm experience to individuals," he says.  "Once I agree to a case, I’m relentless about getting justice for my clients."
