Blaze Mitchell Schwartz

With a combination of legal expertise, competitive athletic discipline, and insider knowledge gained from his time representing insurance companies, I am a relentless advocate who fights tirelessly on behalf of myclients.

In 2025, I was named Partner at Van Dingenen Law, marking the first time an attorney has earned this distinction since the firm’s founding in 2003.

Since joining Van Dingenen Law, I have recovered millions of dollars for my clients and have played a pivotal role in securing life-changing medical treatments and critical wage benefits for injured workers.

My commitment to justice earned me recognition far beyond the courtroom. I was named to Super Lawyers Rising Stars, a distinction awarded to fewer than 3% of attorneys in Florida under 40. This honor is based on a rigorous selection process involving peer nominations, independent research, and evaluations.

Born and raised in Pensacola, Florida, I moved to Orlando in 2007 to attend the University of Central Florida (UCF). While at UCF, I served as captain of the NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Team and completed all four years of NCAA eligibility.

I earned both a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and a Master of Science in Criminal Justice. After a brief stint on the professional tennis tour, I decided to pursue a legal career focused on helping individuals who have been harmed by workplace accidents.

I earned my Juris Doctor from the Florida State University College of Law, graduating cum laude in 2017. Later that year, I was admitted to The Florida Bar.

I began my legal career as a civil defense attorney, representing insurance companies in complex litigation matters. This experience provided me with an in-depth understanding of how insurers handle claims, a perspective I have leveraged to become a fierce advocate for injured workers.

I am also an active member of the Judge William Wieland American Inn of Court in Central Florida, where I continuously work to enhance my legal expertise and contribute to the development of the legal community.

In my free time I enjoy free diving, playing sports, reading, traveling, and spending time with my dog and family.
