HEARN LAWProudly Serving the Tampa Bay Area

Prior to founding Hearn Law, I was a partner in the litigation department at Johnson Pope Bokor Ruppel & Burns, LLP, where I practiced for over eight years.

I began my career serving the people of the State of Florida as an Assistant State Attorney in the Sixth Judicial Circuit of Florida for over three years.  During that time, I litigated thousands of cases ranging from white-collar crime (e.g., fraud, conspiracy, theft, embezzlement) to violent offenses (e.g., first degree murder, robbery, aggravated battery).  I brought over forty jury trials to verdict and advocated before the Grand Jury to a successful indictment in a capital case.  Based on my trial experience, I was selected as the Lead Trial Attorney, and presented awards for Excellence in Prosecution by RID of Tampa Bay and for Outstanding Service as a Prosecutor.

In addition to practicing law, I have served as a Trial Advocacy Skills Instructor at Stetson University College of Law. Along with my wife and law partner, Trina Hearn, I coached Stetson’s nationally recognized Trial Team to a first-place finish in the Florida Justice Association’s Mock Trial Competition.
