Kelli Biferie Hastings is a third-generation Floridian and graduate of the University of Florida College of Law. She has over twenty (20) years' experience as an attorney.
Ms. Hastings is board certified in workers’ compensation. She is also an experienced appellate attorney, with over 100 appeals as lead counsel. In addition, she is a well-versed civil trial litigator, having worked for several years as staff counsel for a large insurance company defending personal injury claims.
For many years she concentrated her practice on workers' compensation cases and writing and arguing workers' compensation appeals, with a focus on the special statutes related to first responders, like her late father.
The focus of Ms. Hastings' law practice shifted after family tragedy and several trips to study yoga in India changed her perspective on life and work. She left her career as a partner in a large law firm to spend more time writing, teaching, and being home with family.
Ms. Hastings offers self-help legal tools and law videos, which can be found on her YouTube Channel and yogalawyer website. She is also available for a phone consultation, but will not undertake personal representation and no attorney/client relationship will be formed.
