First time I met Scott was when I hired him for my D.U.I. case. I choose Mr. Monroe over many other attorneys that I contacted regarding my charges becouse out of all of them Scott Monroe show the most intrest in my case and did a very good resourch of my case with in 45 minutes he knew who was the officer that took me in custody , who is my judge and and state attorney. Scott even came to see me at my house since i was injured. All other attorneys wanted me to come to see them and some wanted me to pay for counseling fee. Mr Monroe was not pushing or promissing me that we will beat the case insted he told me he will do his best and that is exactly what he did. He really cared about my case and did fight for me just like he sayed he would! My charges got droped to reckless driving and I kept my driving licence! At first State was trying to lock me away for 6 months ( my DUI involved car accident and injury to another driver) and I walked away with traffic citation. Mr Scott knows a lot about DUI and he even trains many police departments. After that case I use Scott for any legal issue i have to this day. Mr. Monroe always returned my calls promptly and it made my conflict with law so much easyer. I also recomended attorney Scott Monroe to all my friends and all of them have nothing but the best to say about him.

Scott Monroe is above all a confident and controlled lawyer in the court room. He listens to your very real problems and makes an assessment of your situation. If you are looking for a lawyer that is honest and upfront with you THIS IS YOUR GUY! He will tell you the possible outcomes of your case good or bad and formulate the best strategy to win your case. He will have you prepared for a cross examination if one should arise and will walk you through the legal process from start to finish so you know what to expect while in court. I consulted with two other lawyers in Jacksonville yet he was the only one that stood out. Mr. Monroe truly brings meaning to the old adage " The best defense is a good offense."

I hired this firm over a mistake I made last year while drinking outside of a bar. They were able to get the matter resolved quickly without me having a criminal record and stayed in constant communication throughout the process. I would recommend them to anyone I knew who was having any sort of legal issues.

I had a very good experience with Mr. Monroe and his staff. They all are very professional and friendly, which was important at this stressful time. I was given all information in a succinct and timely manner. In addition, I liked almost instant communication via text messages. Thank you for the great service!

Monroe and King, P.A., were a beacon of hope to me at the most vulnerable time in my life where my options appeared limited, and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. I not only recommend this firm, but I can guarantee you that once you have used their services, you will realize they themselves and their work ethics are nothing short of exceptional. Everyone responds in an extremely timely manner, they’re very knowledgeable and trustworthy people, and hold calm and empathetic demeanors that offer emotional succor. I am forever indebted, and eternally grateful for their services. I assure you, there is no other firm or team that will work as hard for you as they did for me. Scott, Alex, Finley, Luis, Angelica, and Teresa far exceeded my expectations. Thank you all so very much, I could not be happier!!!

Scott Monroe and his team are the best! Always Responsive. Spent as much time as we needed to understand the possible consequences and the outcome he would work to achieve for us. The charges went from felony to a misdemeanor and jail time to probation. We could not be more satisfied or thankful.
