He is very experienced at pre-trial motion practice and has successfully drafted and argued motions that have resulted in cases being dismissed prior to trial. Along with a successful pretrial motion practice, Anthony has post-trial litigation experience in Florida’s Fourth District Court of Appeals and Florida’s Supreme Court.. A born and raised South Floridian, Anthony spends most of his time on the water when not practicing law.

He understands that South Florida’s draw is the water and the significance of protecting it, whether it be a beach, mangrove, or waterway cleanup. When not on the water, Anthony spends most of his time with his wife and their three dogs.

Firm: The Legal Justice Center

Welcome to The Legal Justice Center.  Over the past twenty years, I have successfully represented thousands of people in criminal cases throughout the state of Florida.  I have also represented injured clients, and their loved ones, in personal injury cases who were injured, or killed, because of the fault of another.My goal is, and has always been, the same with each and every case that I take on: “Earn the client’s trust and exceed the client’s expectations!”  My passion for pursuing justice on behalf of my clients is stronger than ever.   Over the years, I have learned an important truth about obtaining justice:  The most important factor determining how a case turns out is the lawyer.  The reality is that when it matters most, the right lawyer makes all the difference.  That being said, I am often times the very best lawyer for the task at hand.  There are times, however, that I conclude that there is a need to either refer a client to another trusted lawyer who is better positioned to ensure justice is obtain, or to bring another lawyer in to co-counsel with me on a particular case to ensure that the end result is a positive one for the client.  To that end, I have spent nearly two decades building a network of trusted, experienced, and brilliant attorneys throughout Florida with whom I work with to obtain the justice my clients deserve.   In short, if you give me the opportunity to obtain justice for you, I will “earn your trust and exceed your expectations!”      Please explore The Legal Justice Center website and call me directly on my personal cell phone @ to discuss your legal situation.  I look forward to speaking with you.. Sincerely,Paul Molle

Firm: Kevin McGill

Originally from Buffalo, New York, I relocated to South Florida in 2008 to attend the University of Miami School of Law. While at the University of Miami, I initially clerked for a Miami Dade County Circuit Court Judge, and then spent 18 months at the Miami Dade Public Defender's Office as a certified legal intern. Upon my graduation in the spring of 2011, I sat for and passed the Florida Bar Exam, and was admitted to the Florida Bar in November of 2011. That same month, I began working for the Broward County Public Defender's Office, where I remained until 2013. When I left the Public Defender's Office, I worked for an insurance defense firm that primarily represented one of the largest insurance companies in the world. I quickly realized that representing large insurance companies was not for me, and I began my private practice in 2014. I have been practicing criminal defense and plaintiffs’ personal injury ever since, representing the rights of the accused and injured.
