Our Story

Ziegler Diamond Law was founded in 2012 when Mike Ziegler set out to give debt-burdened consumers something the industry wasn’t offering: one-on-one attention, aggressive representation, and a genuine helping hand. What began as a bankruptcy and debt-defense practice has since grown into a full team covering debt relief, FDCPA and FCRA cases, foreclosure defense, and personal injury — serving clients across Clearwater, Tampa, and the rest of Florida.

The mission hasn’t changed: help people take back control of their financial, physical, and mental health through creative legal strategies and real human support.

What We Stand For

Aggressive representation, delivered with compassion. Debt problems and serious injuries are stressful, isolating, and often shameful. Our job is to remove the fear and replace it with a plan.

Proactive, not reactive. The worst thing you can do with debt or an injury claim is wait. We address problems head-on and fight for the strongest possible outcome.

Personal attention on every case. You work directly with the attorney handling your file — not a call center. Clear communication and step-by-step guidance are the baseline, not the upsell.

Accountability for the other side. Whether it’s a creditor violating the FDCPA, a credit bureau reporting bad data, or the party responsible for your injuries, we hold them to the law.

What We Do

Debt Relief & Consumer Protection. Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, debt-collection lawsuit defense, FDCPA harassment cases, FCRA credit-report errors, foreclosure defense, and wage-garnishment defense. See all debt relief services →

Personal Injury. Car, truck, motorcycle, rideshare, and pedestrian accidents; slip-and-fall; wrongful death. We fight for the full compensation you’re entitled to under Florida law. See all personal injury services →

Where We Serve. Clearwater and Tampa offices, representing clients throughout Florida including Jacksonville and Orlando.
