Our Firm
Attorney Hans Peter Haahr founded Haahr Law Group in 2007 to serve Tampa Bay and communities across Florida. We’re on your side — representing homeowners, business owners, and associations in the fight against insurance companies that wrongfully deny coverage or underpay valid property claims.
We focus on property insurance disputes, including bad faith claims against insurers. When litigation is necessary, we’re prepared to try cases in both state and federal court throughout Florida, including the U.S. District Courts for the Southern and Middle Districts of Florida.
We also offer mediation and arbitration services as a distinct practice area, serving as neutral mediators and arbitrators for any type of case — not limited to insurance or property disputes.
Accessible. Transparent. On your side. We believe you deserve to understand exactly what’s happening with your case, at every stage. We work closely with each client to find the right resolution — one that’s efficient, cost-effective, and tailored to your situation. We have the experience and resources to take on complex, high-stakes property claims — and the commitment to give every client, regardless of case size, the personal attention and accessibility they deserve.
Hans Peter Haahr
Attorney & Founder
Hans Peter Haahr brings decades of complex litigation experience — in both state and federal court — to every insurance dispute he handles. Before founding Haahr Law Group, he began his legal career in Miami at Mase & Gasenheimer, P.A., where he practiced maritime law and litigated complex civil matters including class action lawsuits and maritime disaster claims. He later joined the Tampa office of Cole, Scott & Kissane, P.A. as a Senior Litigation Associate, handling a wide variety of complex commercial and personal injury cases across Florida’s state and federal courts.
Today, Hans focuses his practice exclusively on property insurance disputes and bad faith claims against insurers — bringing that deep litigation background directly to bear on behalf of policyholders who have been denied, delayed, or underpaid. He also serves as a neutral mediator and arbitrator, drawing on the same courtroom experience to help parties resolve disputes efficiently outside the courtroom.
Born and raised in Denmark, Hans moved to the United States to attend the University of South Alabama, where he graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. He went on to earn his Juris Doctor, cum laude, from the University of Miami School of Law. He speaks English, Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian.

“My goal is always to find coverage for our clients’ losses. Issues related to these claims are complex — from the existence and type of coverage, to the amount of coverage and the defenses insurance companies raise. It’s very rewarding to help people recover the financial benefits they’re entitled to.”
— Hans Haahr
