About Scott
Scott Monroe trained for law after a liberal arts start. He earned a B.A. from Auburn University in 2006, studying pre-law and economics and taking a minor in business. He then completed his J.D. at Florida Coastal School of Law in 2010. Those school years laid the groundwork for a career that moves between public service and private practice.
He began his legal career as an Assistant State Lawyer in the State Lawyer’s Office for the Fourth Judicial Circuit in 2010. That position placed him in the thick of routine and serious criminal matters, handling client interviews, charging decisions, and courtroom appearances. In 2014 he served as a Special Prosecutor in the Office of the State Lawyer for the First Judicial Circuit, an appointment that expanded his exposure to cross-jurisdictional issues and prosecutorial decision-making.
Monroe shifted into private practice in 2016 when he founded Monroe & King, P.A. He led that firm for several years before establishing Monroe Law, P.A. in 2023, where he serves as president. As a founder he has overseen staffing, case strategy, and client intake. He represents clients in state court and is admitted to practice in Florida and in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
Professional involvement runs through his calendar. He holds memberships in the American Bar Association, The Florida Bar, and the Jacksonville Bar Association. He is also a member of several criminal defense organizations, including the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the North Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. He belongs to The Federal Bar and the American Institute of Criminal Law Lawyers as well. Those memberships connect him to continuing education, courtroom developments, and a network of colleagues across practice areas.
His early prosecutorial roles inform how he approaches cases now. He draws on courtroom experience earned in public offices when developing defense strategies and preparing witnesses. The work requires balancing courtroom readiness with negotiation, and it often touches both state and federal procedural rules.
He leads Monroe Law, P.A., handling criminal matters in Florida and filings in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida as part of his current practice focus.
