My friend was recently in a really bad domestic violence relationship and was in over her head due to false allegations from her husband. I was directly involved in the case as a safety monitor for my friend and her son, and I witnessed first hand how quickly and effectively Mr. Scott Monroe worked to help her. He not only handled the craziness of her husband professionally, but ensured her freedom from the situation above all. He got her charges dropped completely and returned her sense of hope. If I ever have personal matters in the future, he will be the attorney I hire.

A few months ago, my entire career and security clearance were put on the line due to a false allegation against me. I called Mr. Monroe around 9pm and left a voice mail, and he immediately called me back. After talking to him for a few minutes, I knew he was the lawyer I needed. Not only did he get my case completely dismissed, he went above and beyond to keep me safe and I felt like he truly cared about me as a person. His entire staff, especially Brianna, were all extremely supportive and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. I cannot express enough how amazing this entire firm is and

This law firm is fantastic; they are everything a person would want in criminal defense representation - professional, knowledgeable, accessible, responsive, and excellent! The attorneys (especially Alex King) are top notch, but their support staff is equally outstanding, especially their investigator, Louis. I had the best possible experience at a difficult time. They kept me apprised every step of the way and took care of things for me, and obtained the best possible outcome. I was thrilled with my experience with Monroe & King - they are the best criminal defense attorneys in Jacksonville

Reviews on here speak for themselves. Mr Monroe is truly the best lawyer I’ve ever met. He will fight for you. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, driven, and hard-working. I don’t know where he gets his drive and his dedication from but it’s truly admirable. I am forever grateful for what he’s done for me. There is no other lawyer that you should even think of hiring. The legal process does not always have integrity or honesty but Mr Monroe will always have that. Mr Monroe‘s colleagues and staff are also very helpful, compassionate, and knowledgeable.

I wanted to take some time to truly thank Mr. Monroe and his partner Alex King for their efforts in dismissing my DUI case. I have been dealing with alcoholism for the past 3 years. This case came about 2 years ago when I was still actively drinking. Mr. Monroe allowed me to talk to him briefly on the phone about his experience before inviting me to his office to discuss details with both him and Mr. King.
Mr. Monroe was incredibly knowledgeable with the recovery life style and helped me to understand that I was not perfect, and slip-ups do happen. This was due to the fact that around 8 months

Attorney Monroe and his staff are very responsible, caring, professionals. Mr. Monroe and his staff insure you are kept up to date on all activities concerning your case. Mr Monroe is a very knowledgeable as a Defense Attorney. From the first call you quickly realize you are in good legal hands. He gives you a reasonable cost estimate, and stands by his word. If my family or I need a Defense Attorney in the future, my first call will be to Monroe and Rice. With Sincere Respect, Jim Branson

Scott’s team is incredible. They were so thorough and put in amazing work during my case. Communication was great and clear, and they made me feel so comfortable to ask questions. Highly recommend! Thank you SO much for all of your help. Words don’t even come close to describing my gratitude and thankfulness. They helped me achieve what I thought would be impossible. It will never be forgotten!

Alex and his partner Scott represented me after my first DUI. They walked me through the process from start to finish and got the charge lowered so that my insurance will not be going up. The outcome was more than I could have hoped for and I am so glad to have had them through this whole ordeal. I don't know what I would have done without them, thank you!

These have got to be the best criminal attorneys in Jacksonville, I ran into a bit of trouble. Scott and Alex came to the rescue. I sat in jail restless and concerned. The next morning to my surprise Alex was to the rescue to get me into a affordable bond rate with the judge! Then immediately after release I stopped by their office to meet with Alex or Scott. Scott greeted me as though I had been a client for years not days. He reassured me he had already researched the case and found these problems. He presented the solution and delivered success!

My son got himself into some trouble, and due to the seriousness of what he was facing, my ex and I decided to hire an attorney for him. After doing his research, my son's father found Scott Monroe, and we hired him. We could not have asked for a better outcome, not to mention he was always good at answering/returning phone calls and took time to answer any questions or concerns. I am so thankful we hired him!
