What anderson & hart, p.a. does

Anderson & Hart, P.A. is a privately held Florida plaintiff-side law firm founded in 2004 and headquartered in Tallahassee, with a satellite office in Tampa. The firm concentrates its practice in three core areas: workers' compensation, personal injury (including auto, motorcycle, trucking, slip-and-fall, and wrongful death matters), and Social Security disability representation (SSDI, SSI, application denial appeals, and administrative law judge hearings). It is led by Senior Partner Paul M. Anderson, Founding Partner Karla G. Hart, and Associate Attorney Jordan D. Anderson, with Paul Anderson board-certified in workers' compensation since 1997 and uniquely credentialed as the only Florida attorney to have served as President of the Florida Justice Association, President of Florida Workers' Advocates, and Chair of the Florida Bar Workers' Compensation Section.

The firm operates on a contingency-fee basis across all three practice areas, with no upfront legal fees and free initial consultations driving client acquisition. Marketing and lead generation rely on organic and content channels, including the firm website (becausejusticematters.com), educational blog content, video assets, client testimonials, and professional referrals via leadership positions in Florida legal associations. Distribution is direct: prospective clients engage via telephone, in-person, or virtual consultations, after which the handling attorney personally manages the case end-to-end rather than delegating to paralegals or support staff.

The firm's geographic coverage spans from Pensacola to Jacksonville and Tampa Bay, anchored by its Tallahassee headquarters co-located with the Florida Division of Workers' Compensation and the First District Court of Appeal. The firm discloses no proprietary technology platform, no AI capabilities, no outside investors, no M&A activity, and no financial filings; it operates as an independent professional association under Florida law. Cumulative case outcomes include reported settlements ranging from approximately $110,750 to $6 million and aggregate client recoveries described as "hundreds of millions of dollars," with a stated 95%+ success rate at Social Security disability hearings.
