Biography
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.

Dont waste your money
Jay was overly attentive to our DUI case when we did our initial consultation. Once he charged our credit card, that completely changed. He never followed up on anything he said he was going to do (contact witnesses, review affidavits, etc), and was hard to reach by phone. Didnt reply to any emails. ...

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."
