Heacox Hartman

What Heacox Hartman does

Heacox Hartman, P.A. is a Minnesota-based professional association law firm founded on May 1, 1996, by shareholders who left established Twin Cities firms to build a specialty workers' compensation defense practice. The firm self-describes as "Minnesota's preeminent workers' compensation defense law firm" and provides high-quality, aggressive defense and counsel to a clientele of businesses, self-insured corporations, the insurance industry, and third-party administrators, with representation extending across the Office of Administrative Hearings, the Workers' Compensation Court of Appeals, the Minnesota Supreme Court, and now Wisconsin matters.

The firm's core offering is specialized legal services in workers' compensation defense and derivative personal injury litigation, delivered by approximately 15+ shareholders and 3 associates supported by paralegals and legal secretaries. There are no software products, SaaS platforms, APIs, or proprietary technology assets — the business is pure professional services with content-based thought leadership (case-law summaries, statutory updates, and seminars) as the primary marketing channel.

Revenue is generated through direct attorney-client engagements on a private fee basis with employers, insurers, and third-party administrators. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm is privately held by its shareholder attorneys with no external private equity, venture capital, or parent-company involvement. It is headquartered at 7201 Metro Blvd., Suite 400, Edina, Minnesota, and has expanded its operating geography into Wisconsin.
