Stephen A. Barnes is the founder of Barnes Trial Group. Mr. Barnes exclusively represents family members and victims of personal injury and wrongful death. One hundred percent of his practice is dedicated to representing these persons in their pursuit of justice and fair compensation for the harms and losses suffered as a result of the inattention and carelessness of other people and companies.
Over his thirty-year career, Mr. Barnes has been recognized as a pre-eminent and highly skilled trial lawyer by many attorney rating and certification organizations, including The Florida Bar, the National Board of Trial Advocacy, and the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA).
Mr. Barnes became one of the youngest board-certified civil trial attorneys in Florida at age 33 and is proud to be AV Pre-eminent* peer review rated by Martindale-Hubbell.
Mr. Barnes strongly believes that once an injured person or family member of a lost loved one places their trust in the Barnes Trial Group, it is his moral obligation to provide the client the strength and attention they need and deserve and to obtain a full recovery of money damages to balance the harms and losses suffered by the client.
A lifelong resident of Florida, Mr. Barnes attended the University of Florida and obtained his undergraduate degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. Thereafter, he attended Stetson University College of Law in St. Petersburg, earning his degree in 2 1/2 years.
