Frequently Asked Questions
How Does the Law Define Murder in Jacksonville?
In Jacksonville, as per Florida law, murder is classified mainly into three degrees based on intent and method. First-degree involves premeditation and is the most serious. Second-degree consists of a lack of premeditation. Third-degree murder charges typically relate to deaths occurring during the commission of a non-blood felony. Each class carries distinct implications and potential penalties, making informed legal assistance crucial.
What Are the Potential Penalties for Murder Convictions in Florida?
Murder convictions in Florida can range significantly. First-degree murder may lead to life imprisonment or the death penalty, highlighting the gravity deeply ingrained in the state's approach to such crimes. Second and third degrees carry lesser penalties but still profoundly impact future opportunities and freedoms, emphasizing why rigorous defense is essential.
The sentencing framework is complex, often influenced by aggravating and mitigating factors, including the accused's past record and the circumstances of the crime. Understanding these factors in depth aids in tailoring the defense approach and potentially negotiating more favorable outcomes.

Jason Porter and Nicole Carlucci are the best attorneys in Jax Beach! Listen, no one wants to hire an attorney, but if you need one- these are the people to call. I was able to schedule a same-day appointment and they were professional, courteous, and provided an excellent outcome to my case. 10/10 recommend- especially if you don’t want to leave the beach!- K.M.

Mr Porter is a very good guy! Gave me some great advice and Told me to save my money. Which is a first for me! Thanks again.- E.S.

Two very scary DUI cases in my life. The first involved a wreck, the second with a very high BAC. Jason Porter and Gary Shumard, you are both so very amazing and you have saved me so much havoc on these cases. Reduced to reckless on the first, and on the second, saved me from having the interlock system order in my car, another 10 days of immobilization, and more jail time. From the beginning, these two kept my anxieties calm through this process and the outcomes took all that load off. If you are financially strapped, trust me, they will work with you on that too. Sincerely.- Gale B.

There are times when you may need unforeseen legal assistance and your scared and don't have a clue if youre making the right choice. The decision is not an easy one when it's based on your family and life. You worry if they have your best interest at heart, if they know enough, if they know the right people and it's very emotional & confusing. Ten years ago my family was faced with the worst nightmare any mother could ever imagine & I prayed to God to make the right decision and I did. Meeting Jason Porter & his assistant Darlene C. (she's been with him longer than that), was the best in my life in my family's life. Jason doesn't have a big office turn around, in fact I have watched his office grow to the success it is today. His staff stays because they know they are with a terrific guy & great attorney. I can go on and on and mean every word from the bottom of my heart but the are truly no words to describe the great outcomes he has had for 2 of my sons on separate occasions. Unfortunately, we don't live in a society anymore where "boys will be boys". There are way too many laws and not enough of societal morality (due to a change of the times). Boys may get in trouble, they did get in trouble but with their unfortunate choices, my choice was the better in retaining Jason and his law firm. He is our family attorney forever.- Anonymous
