About Monroe Law, P.A.
Monroe Law, P.A. is a Jacksonville, Florida criminal defense and DUI defense firm serving clients throughout Duval, St. Johns, Clay, and Nassau counties. We built this firm on a simple idea: the American justice system is supposed to guarantee a zealous, vigorous defense, and too many defendants never get one. Our job is to make sure ours do.
Is Monroe Law, P.A. A Reputable Choice?
Our founding attorney, D. Scott Monroe, Esq., has been rated AV Preeminent by Martindale-Hubbell, the highest peer review standard a lawyer can receive, consecutively since 2019, and has been named a Super Lawyer since 2020. He has also been recognized by the National Trial Lawyers Association as one of the Top 100 Criminal Trial Attorneys in the country, and the firm itself has been named among Florida's Best Law Firms and Top Criminal Defense practices by independent legal recognition organizations. These are peer and industry evaluations, not marketing claims we make about ourselves.
Our Background
Before founding Monroe Law, P.A., Attorney Monroe spent his early career on the other side of the courtroom, first as the DUI Unit Prosecutor and Misdemeanor Supervisor for the Jacksonville State Attorney's Office, then as a felony prosecutor, and later as a Special Prosecutor for the State of Florida in the First Judicial Circuit in the Florida Panhandle. That prosecutorial background is not academic. It means we know how the state builds a case, what a plea offer really reflects, and when it is worth pushing back.
Attorney Monroe has never lost a case at trial. Past results cannot guarantee a future outcome, but when your freedom, your record, and your future are on the line, it matters that your attorney has been tested and has not folded.
