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).

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.

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.

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