Dane first honed his skills at Clearwater firm, where he returned multiple million-dollar verdicts before joining Salter Healy Rivera in 2020 and going on to become a named partner. He continues to represent plaintiffs in injury and wrongful death matters statewide and has been a driving force behind multiple million dollar judgments and settlements at Salter Healy Rivera & Heptner.
