Dave Aronberg was born and raised in South Florida and attended public schools before going off to Harvard for college, then Harvard Law School, where he graduated with honors in 1996. After graduation, Aronberg became the only member of his class from South Florida to return to the community permanently after graduation. While working for a large Florida law firm in Miami and West Palm Beach, Aronberg provided free legal work to indigent domestic violence victims.
In 1997, he worked closely with Insurance Commissioner (now U.S. Senator) Bill Nelson to investigate European insurance companies that refused to honor World War II-era policies sold to victims of the Holocaust. In 1999, Aronberg left his law firm to work full-time for Florida consumers as an Assistant Attorney General for economic crimes. He is best known for heading the State of Florida's lawsuit against “Miss Cleo,” the “Jamaican Shango Shaman psychic” who had become an international celebrity among late-night television viewers.
In 2000, Aronberg was selected to be one of 15 White House Fellows from across the country. In this non-partisan position, Aronberg served in both the Clinton and Bush Administrations as Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury Department for international money laundering. In May 2001, he represented the Treasury Department in Malaysia at a global summit on money laundering, including the laundering of terrorist assets. He then traveled with an official White House delegation to meet with government leaders of Pakistan and visit Afghan refugee camps on the Pakistani border with Afghanistan.
In 2001, Aronberg returned home to South Florida to start the Attorney General’s new economic crimes division in Palm Beach County, where he led the fight against prescription drug pricing scams and telemarketing rip-offs. He was elected to the Florida Senate in November 2002, and represents a diverse district that stretches from eastern Palm Beach County through Glades, Hendry and Charlotte Counties to Fort Myers and Bonita Springs on Florida's west coast. He joined Greenspoon Marder, P.A. in May 2003 and focuses in consumer protection law and local government law.
