Gregory Dell received his B.S./B.A. in Accounting at Washington University in St. Louis and his J.D. from Benjamin Cardozo School of Law in New York City.

Under his leadership, Dell Disability Lawyers has recovered over $2 billion in disability benefits for clients nationwide. He has personally litigated against every major disability insurance company in federal courts across the country.

In 2006, Mr. Dell was selected by Thomson Reuters to co-author Florida Insurance Law and Practice (West’s Florida Practice Series, Vol. 17), authoring the chapter on disability insurance law. The book is published annually and is used by attorneys and judges nationwide as a source on insurance law.

Outside the practice of law, Mr. Dell is a husband and father of three boys.
