Murphy & Downs Law Offices, P.A. - Ponte Vedra, FL

From our Ponte Vedra Beach office in Florida, we at Murphy & Downs Law Offices, P.A., deliver comprehensive legal services across criminal defense, personal injury and estate planning to St. Johns County residents and visitors. With equal parts compassion and resolve, we guide clients through the complexities of Florida’s courts, insurance systems and probate procedures.

When you face DUI charges, domestic violence allegations or serious felony accusations, we act immediately. We scrutinize the traffic stop or arrest, file motions to suppress improper evidence, negotiate for reduced or deferred dispositions, and stand ready for trial. For tourists and seasonal residents, we coordinate local bail, advise on consequences to visas or housing, and ensure no one navigates the process alone.

In cases of physical harm, we combat delay tactics used by insurance companies. We investigate slip-and-fall incidents, automobile wrecks, faulty products, workplace injuries and wrongful death events. By compiling robust witness statements, expert analyses and courtroom-ready exhibits, we seek maximum recovery for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and funeral expenses.

Our estate planning practice offers personalized solutions: wills, living trusts, durable powers of attorney, health care proxies and advance directives. We help families plan for elder care costs, apply for Medicaid benefits, avoid probate and establish special-needs trusts. By addressing long-term visions for asset protection, we relieve the stress of future uncertainties.

Because we handle a limited number of matters, you will always work directly with a lawyer. Each attorney provides their personal cellphone number so you can reach us in real time. This hands-on approach guarantees swift answers and a partnership built on trust. Our fee arrangements reflect our commitment to fairness: personal injury clients owe us nothing unless we obtain compensation; criminal matters proceed under clear retainer terms; and planning services use transparent flat-fee agreements. Murphy & Downs Law Offices, P.A., stands ready to defend your rights, secure your future and protect your family. Reach out today for a private consultation at any of our offices in Melbourne or Ponte Vedra.
