history

"What's in a name?" Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene II.

"What's in a name?" Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene II.  


We are often asked the origin of the name "Hartford.""   To be clear, we are not affiliated with The Hartford insurance or financial services company.  Rather, the firm's name originates from the town of Hartford, Michigan, where Johann's great grandfather settled after immigrating from Holland in the 1920s.


Opa, as Johann's great grandfather was known, started a flower farm in Hartford (Hartford Farms), a farm that was the first to ship agricultural products by air, and which at one time was the largest farm in North America.  In a nod to his heritage, and the entrepreneurial spirit of his family, Johann named his law firm The Hartford Firm.
