About Joseph "Joe" M. Murphy

I was born and raised in Seminole, Florida. I am a graduate of Largo High School and attended Florida State University earning both a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Social Science Education and Master's Degree in Urban and Regional Planning.

While earning my Master's Degree, I interned with the Florida Senate’s Community Affairs Committee. Following this internship I spent several years working for the Florida Department of Community Affairs as a Community Planner. It was these professional experiences that facilitated my passion for a career as a real estate attorney. To further my ability to assist others with real estate related issues, I decided to attend law school at Stetson University College of Law in Gulfport, Florida.

While earning my law degree, I was blessed with the opportunity to work as a law clerk with DeLoach, Hofstra & Cavonis, P.A. After graduating from Stetson University College of Law, I stayed on with DeLoach, Hofstra & Cavonis, P.A., and now practice in the areas of Real Estate and Civil Litigation.

In addition to representing clients in a variety of general civil litigation matters, I have worked with developers in establishing condominium projects and represent a number of condominium and homeowner associations throughout Pinellas County. My Association Law experience not only includes transaction matters, such as governing document review, but also includes a wide variety of arbitration and litigation efforts. I also help to oversee DeLoach, Hofstra & Cavonis, P.A.'s other entity, Seminole Title Company.

I pride myself in providing my clients with a candid analysis of their legal issues and practical strategies through which those issues may be resolved. While most people hope to never need the assistance of an attorney, it is important to have an attorney whose opinion you can trust and who will zealously and efficiently advocate your best interests.

I Googled legal services and searched online sites for a week looking for a firm that could address a few topics that my wife and I need to manage. My criteria are as follows and in order. • Coverage and professional experience in property law, and estates • The ability to represent us in America and abroad • Attitude and professionalism • Price • Locations and proximity to our home • Providing a solution and building a relationship for any future legal requirements Joe called on time and he was prepared beyond my expectations and offered insight and options that I had not heard from any of the others. He reviewed my requirements in detail before our call and didn’t ask for a dime in return. Our family will be contacting Joe and the Deloach, Hofstra + Cavonis firm for our needs to set up a meeting. As I’ve mentioned they are also local to our area, so the relationship and community aspect is a bonus and that’s important to me.

A sentence or two does not seem nearly adequate enough to express our sincere appreciation to Mr. Joe Murphy and his legal assistant Ms. Karen Snyder. We have had to pleasure of working with them both over the past several years and always feel confident that any and all of our legal matters will be handled in a professional manner with competence, sound judgement, and legal expertise. Their responsiveness is beyond compare and their “follow through” is to be commended. We look forward to a continued professional relationship with Mr. Murphy and Ms. Snyder for many years to come.

Karen Synder was absolutely outstanding!! She went above and beyond to help get my family to answers to our legal questions as well as finding options for our unique situation. It’s very uplifting to find that there are businesses that take the time and attention to detail in the way Karen and her team did for our family. We will most definitely be reaching out again for all of our legal advisement and counsel. Thank you again!

My husband and I purchased our home together before we were married. Mr. Murphy helped us to change the deed to the home after our status changed to husband and wife. He made the entire process smooth and simple, and we are very grateful for his efforts, knowledge, and professionalism. I will continue to recommend this firm to friends and family.

My husband and I hired Mr. Murphy to update the deed to our home and we were very happy with the service we received. Everyone we encountered at DeLoach Hofstra and Cavonis was warm, friendly and made the process so easy for us. Mr. Murphy met with us personally at signing to explain the documents. He was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. His legal assistant Margaux was prompt, helpful and very kind in all of her interactions with us as well. We will definitely be using this firm for all of our future needs and have already begun recommending them to our friends!
