Stephen R. Hasner’s commitment to his family and his faith in God are the most important things in his life. They provide the foundation and purpose that underpin his life and his law practice. He has been practicing law in Florida and Georgia since 1997, after receiving his J.D. from St. Thomas University School of Law in Miami Gardens, Florida. Hasner has always focused his practice on workers’ compensation and personal injury cases, initially on the defense side. However, after several years he realized that he wanted to represent the interests of injured and disabled workers rather than insurance companies and made the switch. His early experience defending insurance companies has provided invaluable strategic insight, which has enabled him to guide his clients’ cases to the most optimal outcomes. “It’s very helpful because you know what insurance companies are thinking, how they practice, how they handle and adjust claims,” Hasner says.
