About Jonathan R. Hart

Jonathan “Boomer” Hart is a partner in WSHB’s Tampa office, representing admitted and surplus lines insurers in complex first-party insurance matters throughout the State of Florida. Boomer assists insurers with first-party claims issues, including legal assistance with claims investigations, examinations under oath, and coverage opinions. He defends insurers against allegations of breach of contract, bad faith, and other extra-contractual relief. Boomer has significant experience in first-party matters involving disasters, wind/hail, fraud, theft, suspected arson, business interruption claims, appraisal, and plumbing failures in both residential and commercial properties. In connection with his insurance practice, Boomer regularly advises numerous London market insuring syndicates and defends them in Florida Courts.

Earlier in his career, Boomer focused his practice on defending nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and long-term care providers, representing owners, operators, and management companies in negligence, wrongful death, and regulatory-related litigation. Through this work, he gained hands-on experience with issues unique to long-term care facilities, including resident care standards, staffing and supervision claims, corporate governance and agency defenses, and the intersection of civil litigation with Florida’s regulatory framework governing skilled nursing and assisted living facilities. This background provides Boomer with a practical understanding of the operational and litigation risks faced by healthcare and long-term care providers, which he continues to draw upon in advising insurer clients and evaluating complex liability exposures.

In addition to his extensive legal practice, Boomer has a distinguished academic background. He is a cum laude graduate of Stetson University College of Law, where he was the recipient of the Walter Mann Award, selected to join the National Order of Barristers, and served as president of the Moot Court Board. While attending law school, he was a judicial extern for the Honorable K. Rodney May of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida and the Honorable Elizabeth A. Kovachevich of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. Boomer received his undergraduate degree in finance and business management from Florida State University.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
