About Jay

Jay A. Hebert 

     

As a well-established defense lawyer within the Tampa Bay legal system, Jay Hebert puts his clients first. He is dedicated to serving his clients not only by navigating them through the complicated and daunting court system but also by helping them stay on the right side of the law.

 

“One of the reasons people come to me is that we try not to put a Band Aid on the problem. I get to the root of the problem and solve it. I consider myself more of a problem solver. That’s how I have distinguished my career from many others.”

 

Born in Winter Park­­­­­­­, Florida, Jay A. Hebert is a  Florida native who attended Clemson University (B.A., 1985) and continued his education at Stetson University College of Law (J.D., 1990). In 1991, he was admitted to the Florida Bar, the United States District Court, the Middle District of Florida and the U.S. Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit. Mr. Hebert started his own firm, The Hebert Law Group, in 1994.

     

He is a member of the American Bar Association, Association of Trial Lawyers of America, Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, St. Petersburg Bar Association, Pinellas County Trial Lawyers Association, and the Pinellas County Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and Phi Alpha Delta Fraternity.

 

Since 2010, Mr. Hebert has spoken to numerous school groups and parents about the possible negative impact the internet has on friendships and relationships. Jay Hebert has also taught as an adjunct Professor at the Stetson University College of Law and regularly speaks to students as a guest lecturer.

  

He has received the AV Preeminent Martindale-Hubbell 5.0 out of 5.0 since 2005 and received a superb rating, 10 out of 10, by AVVO. He has also been recognized by Marquis as Who’s Who in American Law.

Review Jay Hebert

Your Freedom is Priceless

Posted by

I was recently charged with trafficking. I met with Jay and 2 days later retained him to represent me. Wow! These guys are incredible too say the least. He, Brian and Sandy were all very honest, compassionate, professional, thorough and extremely knowledgeable. It is obvious that these guys are not in this for the money. They truly care for their clients and their families. Jay and his team are very proactive and have great relationships with the prosecutors and judges and they understand how to navigate their way through the system. I cannot say enough great things about these guys. My case was dismissed.

A brilliant light at the end of a tunnel

Jay and Brian and the law team at Hebert law are amazing words cannot describe how professional and caring they are and this firm had amazing results against the SAO they negotiated a plea on my part to allow me to keep my concealed permit and to keep my rights I was falsely accused of a felony and they helped me to have the charges dropped to a misdemeanor with a small fine and they were ready to take it to trial but I was fine with the plea and I know they would have won in trial I just didn't want to take the risk they both are life savers and I would recommend them to anyone who was in my shoes they gave me peace and confidence in the pretrial stages and they gave me a comfortable closure at the end I would give them 10 stars if I could do yourself or your loved one a favor and call Jay you will not be disappointed!

Lawrence Disparti, Social security Attorney on Aug 27, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I highly recommend Jay Hebert. I have known Jay for many years. Jay is one of the Tampa Bay area's best criminal defense lawyers, if not the whole state of Florida. He is a highly skilled trial lawyer and works hard to achieve the best results for his clients.

Michael Waddington, Military law Attorney on Jun 14, 2014

Joseph Ludovici, Mediation Attorney on Nov 10, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have had the opportunity to refer several cases to Jay, and he has always handled them with the utmost ability.

Robert Heyman, Personal injury Attorney on Oct 15, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I strongly endorse this lawyer's work. Jay has established himself as a prominent criminal defense attorney throughout the Tampa Bay area, handling a series of high profile and complicated cases and obtaining favorable outcomes for his clients. Extremely competent and always well prepared.

Roger Futerman, Criminal defense Attorney on Aug 21, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Jay is an excellent lawyer. I frequently consult with him. I have the utmost respect for his abilities as an attorney.

W. Werner, State, local, and municipal law Attorney on Jun 26, 2009
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I endorse this lawyer's work. While working as a felony prosecutor for the State Attorney's Office in Clearwater, I had the opportunity to work several cases as opposing counsel to Mr. Hebert. It is a great asset to be respected and respectful of opponents in the courtroom. Mr. Hebert has a tremendous amount of experience and understanding of the law, and, perhaps more importantly, a great understanding of juries. He is honest, fair, and carries a great deal of respect which you will not find with every attorney. Mr. Hebert would be one of a small handful of names I would recommend to a friend or family member.
