About Grant
Biography
Grant Schwarz is a Civil Trial Attorney and 4th Amendment Lawyer headquartered in sunny Florida. Grant focuses his practice in the areas of personal injury including premises liability and products liability.
Prior to starting his own firm, Grant worked as a prosecutor for the State of Florida. As a prosecutor, Grant tried 50 jury trials, conducted hundreds of non-jury trials ranging from simple drug possession to economic crimes and violent felony offenses. Fighting for the State of Florida and for victims of crime gave Grant the motivation to continue fighting for what is right and to stand up for victim's rights.
After years as a State Prosecutor, Grant joined a nationally recognized law firm where he litigated 4th amendment issues and personal injury cases. Over the years, it became apparent that bed bugs were becoming a troublesome problem across the United States. Grant was approached by a young family who had been injured at a local hotel. The family was awarded a large settlement after months of negotiations. After that, Grant started learning as much as he could about bed bugs. Grant read many books about bed bugs, attended pest management seminars and cultivated relationships with pest management professionals and entomologists. After many successful years of practice and litigation, Grant decided to focus his work on bed bug injury cases. Grant has gained a national reputation as a passionate trial lawyer.
Grant started Bed Bug Law with the idea that nobody should have to suffer injuries while they are at their most vulnerable. Bed bug injuries occur most often while the victim is asleep in bed or simply relaxing at home. Sleep and rest are crucial elements to maintaining good mental and physical health. Bed bug bites are painful, last for weeks and can even cause permanent scarring. The mental impact of bed bugs can affect victims for a lifetime. Nobody should have to suffer bed bug bites at a hotel, motel, resort, cruise ship, Airbnb or any other rental property. Further, Grant believes that one of the worst things that can happen to a person's mental health is when their own home becomes infested with bed bugs. This most often occurs after the delivery of recently purchased or rented of furniture.
Bed Bug cases are often opposed aggressively by defendants and will often require litigation in State and Federal Court systems or through the American Arbitration Association. Grant has dedicated his career to speaking up for those who cannot and to make every effort to make hotel owners and operators, apartment owners and operators, and furniture retailers pay for exposing his clients to bed bugs. Grant is a skilled negotiator, who has been particularly successful in resolving disputes without costly and time-consuming litigation. Grant believes that gathering evidence and preparing each case as though it were going to trial is an important practice in bed bug cases.
Despite his passion for his work and the law, Grant most enjoys his time spent with his family and caring for his garden. Grant has a large collection of rare and exotic plants, flowers, and trees.

DISMISSED!!!
I hired Mr. Schwarz earlier this year for my felony drug case. He was able to show the prosecutor that their case was weak and even though I was not eligible for a diversion program due to my priors, Mr. Schwarz was able to get me into a diversion program and have my case dismissed very quickly. Th...

Excellent Work
Grant represented me on my felony case. He investigated the case for me and was able to disprove the police officers story. My charges were dismissed and I was able to get my job back.

Like all legal cases there were ups and downs - Grant did go out of his way to help and win - we won on 3 separate issues. Like all bills - I don't like them - but the cost was way better than what some attorneys wanted and I got my money's worth - I would be so much worse off if I hadn't sucked up m...

Replied last March 31, 2022This review was posted by someone who allegedly consulted with my office. I do not know who they are, what their real name is or what their legal problem was. If you want to talk about your legal issues, please feel free to call my office, but I'd ask you to stop posting these reviews since they are false, misleading and slanderous.

Worst trial attorney ever
He came to my 1st day of trial with the flu an 108 fever. Failed to show important video where officer admitted he messed up arresting me! Felt like all he cared about is getting paid! Then after he lost my trial due to incompetence he told me to pay him more money and take down my Google review and ...

Replied last July 29, 2019Anonymous, I find it very sad that you need to resort to name calling and false statements online. It is true that I was ill on the day of the trial. I requested the matter be continued, but the judge refused. We did not fail to show important evidence, the judge ruled against its admissibility. It's true, I asked to be paid the remainder of the monies you owed and had promised to pay prior to the trial, but never did. It is never unreasonable to want to be paid for work done win or lose. Please do not misquote the facts of your case. The reports and trial record certainly do not. Further, after you wrote that terrible misleading review on Google, you had the audacity to call me and ask for a favor. You wanted me to contact the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to help you get your driver license reinstated. When I refused and asked "Why would I do anything to help you after you refused to pay me and after you wrote such terrible things and lies about me?" you had no answer. So again, I am sorry for the way things went for your case, they were out of either of our control. Writing false statements and personally attacking me will not change your situation.
