Hastings Law Firm

Chad C. Hastings Esq.

We Win For You

Confidence in collaboration

I was born in Teaneck, New Jersey and moved as a child to Port St. Lucie, Florida in the 1980’s. In high school, I worked on the weekends and summers doing retail. I learned at an early age that working hard was necessary if I wanted to go to college. After graduating from Port St. Lucie High School, I achieved my goal and was accepted into the University of Central Florida. There I worked as a waiter, making enough to pay my rent and get me through school. After earning my undergraduate degree in Finance, I decided to go to law school. I was accepted in the Mercer University, Walter F. George School of Law, where I studied to become a lawyer.

During law school, I worked long hours every summer for a large personal injury law firm where I was inspired to help people in some of their hardest times. I learned early in my career how rewarding it is to help people and facilitate bringing them closure. Since graduating law school in 2001, I have taken that inspiration and dedicated my career to helping the injured.

As a lawyer of 23 years, practicing personal injury, I have been trained and worked closely with some of the best lawyers in Florida. I started the Hastings Law Firm, because I envisioned working closely with my clients and focusing on giving my clients the best outcomes on their cases in a boutique law firm setting. For every incredible outcome that I have made for my clients, an insurance company or a defendant doubted my clients and discouraged them from moving forward. I know how that feels. With hard work and focus, I have found that we can prove them wrong. If I make a commitment to take your case and work for you, you can be assured that you will come first. At Hastings Law Firm, we believe that if we put the client first, everything else in our practice will be a success.
