About Frank
Frank Hartman trained at Florida State University College of Law, where he earned his Juris Doctor in 2006. He arrived in law school after an earlier period of study and practice that shaped his decision to pursue litigation. His legal education at Florida State placed him among peers from across the Southeast and gave him a foundation in trial practice and courtroom procedure.
After law school he established his practice in South Carolina. He is admitted to practice in that state and has spent his career working through the state’s court system. Early cases tested his courtroom preparedness and helped him refine the practical skills that clients expect from a local litigator.
Hartman joined the South Carolina Association for Justice in 2008 and has remained a member since. That long-standing membership has connected him to other plaintiff-side attorneys in the state and offered continuing education on trial tactics and updates to state law. Participation in the organization has been a steady part of his professional life.
He operates The Hartman Law Office, LLC, where he manages case intake, client counseling, and litigation strategy. The office handles the practical demands of a small-firm practice: juggling discovery deadlines, taking and defending depositions, and preparing matters for trial. His daily work involves the routine and the urgent alike—responding to client concerns, negotiating with opposing counsel, and appearing in court when cases require it.
Colleagues and clients describe him as someone who keeps to straightforward communication. He tends to explain legal steps in plain terms rather than legalese. That approach carries through to settlement talks and courtroom argument. He emphasizes clear case preparation and expects thoroughness from everyone who works in his office.
Hartman’s career has been steady and focused on serving clients in South Carolina’s courts. He combines classroom training from Florida State University College of Law with years of hands-on litigation work. He currently concentrates his practice on representing clients in South Carolina state courts.
