Barnett, Lerner, Karsen & Frankel P.A.

Established in 1995 by David C. Barnett, Esq., and Barry R. Lerner, Esq., Barnett, Lerner & Karsen, P.A. was born out of a shared commitment to representing employees who have sustained work-related injuries. Prior to founding the firm, both attorneys gained extensive experience managing claims that involved both employers and insurance providers as well as injured workers themselves. Recognizing the lack of proper advocacy for those affected by workplace incidents against large corporations and insurers, Mr. Barnett and Mr. Lerner dedicated their practice exclusively to empowering injured employees. Since its inception over two decades ago, this law firm has championed the rights of workers not only within the United States but also on an international scale through expatriate compensation claims—a specialized area where they now lead globally under the Defense Base Act guidelines. Throughout their careers at Barnett, Lerner & Karsen,P.A., they have successfully litigated numerous cases across various State and Federal court systems while actively filing briefs appealing decisions when necessary under laws such as Florida’s Workers’ Compensation Act along with others like Longshore Harbor Workers' Compensation Act; Defense Base Act; Non-Appropriated Funds Instrumentalities Act;and Jones Acts.They proudly hold recognition as one of world leading firms dealing with Expatriate compensation matters—leveraging robust national networks complemented by global alliances—which further enhances their capacity for handling litigation regardless if represented clients are based domestically or abroad.Whether serving local populations locally in America or supporting expansive needs through effective representation worldwide,their unwavering focus remains diligently rooted towards advancing worker’s justice universally.
