About Leslie Jean-Bart
Leslie Scott Jean-Bart is a fifth-generation Jacksonville native with a plaintiff personal injury practice that began in 2000. She earned her Bachelor of Science from the University of Miami (1994) and her Juris Doctor from the University of Miami School of Law (1997), where she received the C.A.L.I. Award of Excellence in Florida Appellate Law. She began her legal career at Legal Services of Greater Miami preserving housing for low-income residents, then joined Sheppard, White & Thomas, P.A., handling employment discrimination, civil rights, and education cases in state and federal courts.
She also worked at Farah & Farah before founding The Jean-Bart Firm, P.L., and ultimately joining Terrell Hogan Law. Leslie's community service reflects her family's legacy of public service: her late grandmother, Mary L. Singleton, was the first Black woman elected to the Jacksonville City Council. Leslie has served as Chairperson of the Northeast Florida Community Action Agency, on the boards of Three Rivers Legal Services, LSF Health Systems, Operation New Hope, and the Museum of Science and History, and has been appointed to the Florida Elections Commission and the Jacksonville Ethics Commission.
