Transactions, title, and property disputes

Closings and title work

Documents and filing deadlines often decide how a property matter develops. The firm handles title searches, real estate closings, and contract disputes. These services cover the review work around ownership records, transaction papers, and agreements between the parties.

A title search examines public records for deeds, liens, judgments, and other claims tied to a parcel. At a closing, the parties complete the required documents and transfer funds under the transaction terms. Contract disputes can arise over deposits, disclosures, deadlines, or a party's duties under a signed agreement.

Foreclosure and ownership disputes

Florida courts handle foreclosure through a judicial process. The firm lists foreclosure defense among its real estate services. A typical case involves a complaint, service on the property owner, a response, court motions, and a possible foreclosure judgment and sale. Payment records, loan documents, notices, and filing dates can shape the issues before the court.

The firm also handles quiet title actions, easements, and eminent domain matters. A quiet title action asks a court to decide competing claims to real property. Easement disputes concern rights to use another person's land for access or another stated purpose. Eminent domain cases address a government body's effort to acquire private property for public use.

Landlords, tenants, and development

Landlord and tenant disputes are part of the firm's stated work. These matters may concern possession, lease duties, deposits, repairs, or claimed breaches. The governing lease, written notices, payment records, photographs, and communications often form the main record.

Zoning and land development also appear in the firm's real estate services. Local boards and government staff may review proposed uses, site plans, variances, and development applications. Owners and developers commonly work with surveys, zoning codes, recorded restrictions, and agency decisions during that process.

Bankruptcy and debt response

Cases under Chapters 7, 11, and 13

A bankruptcy filing places a debtor's finances under federal court rules. The firm handles cases under Chapter 7, Chapter 11, and Chapter 13. Each chapter uses a different structure, so the debtor's income, assets, debts, and goals affect the available course.

Chapter 7 commonly involves a trustee's review of the debtor's property, claimed exemptions, financial records, and creditor claims. A discharge may release the debtor from qualifying debts after the required steps. The process usually begins with a petition, schedules of assets and liabilities, income information, and a statement of financial affairs.

Chapter 13 allows an eligible individual to propose a repayment plan under court supervision. Chapter 11 commonly supports reorganization for businesses and can apply to some individuals. Both chapters require detailed financial disclosures, and creditors may raise objections during the case.

Collections, garnishment, and settlement

The debt-related service list extends beyond bankruptcy petitions. The firm handles debt settlement, wage garnishment, and collections defense. It also lists matters under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

Debt settlement involves efforts to resolve an account under agreed terms. Garnishment disputes may require a review of the judgment, notices, exemptions, and amounts withheld. Collections defense can involve the creditor's records, ownership of the account, payment history, and procedural filings. Federal debt collection law can also govern how certain collectors communicate and pursue consumer debts.

Related legal services

Family law, wills and probate, and disability law appear in the site's service menu. Family cases often depend on court filings, financial disclosures, parenting information, and existing orders. The precise process depends on the type of family matter and the relief requested.

Wills state how a person wants property handled after death, while probate gives a court a role in administering an estate. Common probate documents include a will, death certificate, asset records, creditor notices, and petitions filed with the court. Disability matters often turn on medical records, work history, agency forms, and filing deadlines.

Attorney background and court admissions

He later returned to the University of Florida, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in 2000. He received his Juris Doctor from the University of Florida Levin College of Law in 2005.

McMurray became a member of the Florida Bar in 2006. The site lists his 2010 admission to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. It also lists his 2010 admission to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida.

The office on Gate Parkway

The firm's Jacksonville office is at 5011 Gate Parkway. That location is the main address for the practice, and the firm posts details about its services and its attorney online at yourjacksonvilleattorney.com. The domain name points to the Jacksonville base, and the site brings the service lists and the attorney's background together in one place.

The site lists a toll-free line at 888-316-2131, which lets a caller reach the office without a long-distance charge. It also gives a Jacksonville number at 904-248-4482, along with two more local numbers at 352-450-1367 and 386-456-9333. A set of separate local lines fits a practice that keeps more than one office address.

The mix of a fixed Jacksonville address and a toll-free number gives the firm one clear point of contact for people who are not near the Gate Parkway office. A prospective client who lives elsewhere can still call the same practice and, where it makes sense, arrange to meet the attorney who handles the matter.

Starting with a free consultation

The firm offers a free initial consultation. For a prospective client, that first meeting is a chance to describe a situation and hear how the office might proceed before any fee applies. It also means a person can bring in questions from either side of the firm's work at that first stage, before deciding whether to go further.

The website and the phone lines are the routes the firm gives for arranging that first contact. A caller who reaches the office through the toll-free number or one of the local lines can set up the consultation and, from there, learn what records and dates the office would want to review. For a person weighing whether to hire counsel, a free meeting lowers the cost of that first step, and it lets the client compare the firm against others before committing.
