Murphy & Downs Law Offices, P.A. - Melbourne, FL

At our Melbourne office in Florida, we are Murphy & Downs Law Offices, P.A. – a compact team of trial lawyers, civil litigators and estate planners committed to serving Brevard County families. Whether you face criminal accusations, have suffered injury through another’s negligence or seek to protect loved ones with sound estate documents, we bring the same level of care and determination to every matter.

When criminal charges arise – DUI, domestic violence allegations, felony counts or tourist-related offenses – we move swiftly. We dissect arrest reports, challenge administrative suspensions, negotiate with prosecutors, and if needed, marshal a vigorous courtroom defense. Our familiarity with local magistrates, judges and clerks helps us protect your driving privileges, freedom and reputation from day one.

In personal injury cases, we stand up to property managers, negligent drivers, apartment complexes, product manufacturers and insurance carriers. From slip-and-fall accidents to catastrophic auto collisions, brain injuries and wrongful death claims, we compile medical records, scene photographs, expert testimony and demand full accountability. Our goal is to recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain-and-suffering damages, and funeral costs for you and your family.

On the estate planning side, we draft customized wills, revocable trusts, advance directives and powers of attorney. We guide clients through Medicaid planning and long-term-care qualification, structure special-needs trusts and implement prenuptial agreements. By coordinating with financial advisers and accountants, we minimize probate delays and preserve assets for heirs.

Because we limit our caseload, each file receives hands-on attention from the attorneys you meet – no handoffs to nonattorney staff. You will have direct cell numbers for the lawyers handling your case, day or night. This approach ensures rapid responses to your questions and a genuine working partnership.

For personal injury matters, there is no fee unless we secure compensation on your behalf. Criminal defense clients receive transparent retainer agreements, and estate-planning work is offered at agreed-upon flat rates. We tailor fee structures to each engagement, so you know exactly what to expect.

If you reside in or near Melbourne or Ponte Vedra, let our firm put decades of collective courtroom and planning experience to work for you.
