Brandon Dinetz joins Meltzer & Bell, P.A. as an associate after working for four years as an Assistant State Attorney in Palm Beach County. While at the State Attorney’s Office, he was assigned to the County Court Trial Division. In this role, he prosecuted over 3,100 criminal cases, including DUI’s, thefts, batteries, firearm charges, drug offenses, and numerous traffic offenses. Brandon ultimately became a Lead Attorney, where he would oversee and train a division of attorneys, while he managed a large caseload, filed DUI’s, prosecuted violations of probation and DUI recidivists. During his tenure as an Assistant State Attorney, Brandon argued hundreds of evidentiary hearings and over 35 jury trials of both misdemeanor and felony crimes. Brandon cultivated strong relationships with the local legal community, including law enforcement officers and both County and Circuit Court judges. His tempered aggression gained the respect of both his colleagues and adversaries alike.

Brandon left NSU being named the school’s most decorated Mock Trial Competitor.
