Attorney Hibbert to joins Pittman firm
Special to the Outlook
Pittman Law Group announced the hiring of Attorney Sharmin Hibbert to lead the firm’s Administrative Law practice. Hibbert will also practice Local Government, Education, and Probate Law.
Hibbert, whose hire was announced Monday, joins the Florida-based firm after years of experience practicing within the State Government process in Florida, including as Deputy General Counsel at the Florida Department of Health.
“Attorney Hibbert is an exceptional addition to the Pittman Law Group team and will help solidify our footprint in the Administrative and Government Law arenas. We are very fortunate to have her with us,” said founder and managing partner Sean Pittman. “I am extremely excited about the growing value proposition of our firm and our ability to leave great and lasting impressions in Florida and the southeastern region of the United States.
Attorney Hibbert brings a wealth of knowledge from State Government and Governor Agency work, including Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and the Florida Department of Health. While at those agencies, she provided legal counsel to both organizations, negotiated contracts on behalf of the state, analyzed and delivered proposed policy and legislation, and established and managed a legal practice group in the Department of Health – which consisted of 52 attorneys and 75 administrative staff enforcing disciplinary violations for over 30 licensed professional boards, handling approximately 6,000 cases annually.
“I am honored to join team Pittman and add an alternative avenue for private companies, corporations, healthcare organizations and sole proprietors needing strong advocacy before the Department of Administrative Hearings, state government agencies and their respective boards,” said Hibbert. “My education, background and experience in the area of government law, is a great complement to the Pittman Law Group and the firm’s over 20 years of outstanding service to some of the most sought-after clients in the State of Florida.”
