About Kara

As a Partner of the Law Office of Kevin F. Jursinski & Associates, I focus my area of practice on Real Estate Litigation, Business Litigation and Real Estate and Business Transactional Law.

Through dedication and hard work, I earned the designation of Board Certified Specialist (B.C.S.) and Expert in Real Estate by the Florida Bar.   This certification recognizes attorneys who have special knowledge, skills and proficiency in various areas of law, including Real Estate, and professionalism and ethics in practice.  Board Certification is the highest level of achievement and evaluation granted by the Florida Bar. There are only 450 attorneys in Florida (out of more than 105,000) who have achieved Board Certification in Real Estate.

In addition to Board Certification, I am also an LL.M. (Master of Laws) in Real Estate Development.  I am proud to say that I am the only attorney in Southwest Florida who has earned an LL.M. and a Board Certification in Real Estate.  Finally, I have been recognized as a “Rising Star” by Super Lawyers Magazine for the past two years.

 

I've attended three of Florida's major univeristies:  Most recently, I earned my LL.M degree in Real Property Development from the University of Miami.  I also graduated Cum Laude from Florida State University College of Law with my Juris Doctor and Cum Laude from the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Arts.   In addition to my law pratice, I am also an Adjunct Professor at Florida Gulf Coast University teaching Real Estate Transaction Law.  However, I am a Florida Gator at heart!

Review Kara Jursinski Murphy

Amazing Lawyer

Posted by

I was lucky enough to have Kara Jursinski Murphy working on my lawsuit, without her I doubt we would have received such a huge settlement. Being an out of country client “Australia” she always had my best interests at heart, and keep me well informed during my lawsuit. If you want tough no BS attorney, then Kara Jursinski Murphy is the right attorney. I’m going to miss everyone at the firm as they always treated me as part of the family.

Kara did a terrific job for us on the short sell of our home in Verandah. All tasks were done in a timely fashion and we were fully informed at every point in the process.

One of the best lawyers in town. Cannot go wrong hiring Ms. Jursinski. Her firm is outstanding as well, used them myself on a buisness matter with a fantastic result. Joe Viacava, Esq.

James McQuade, Real estate Attorney on May 2, 2013
Relationship: Worked for lawyer

I could not have a higher recommendation for an attorney. I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Jursinski and learned a great deal from her. Ms. Jursinski is smart, aggressive and works incredibly hard for her clients. Ms. Jursinski's number one priority is protecting her client's interests and obtaining an excellent result. She is always mindful of her client's concerns and expectations. If I ever need an attorney I will be hiring Ms. Jursinski.

Michael Chionopoulos, Family Attorney on May 1, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. Kara has a masterful command of Florida Real Estate law. When my practice spawns complex real estate questions, she is the first lawyer I call to either consult with or refer to - she is very quickly becoming the "go-to-lawyer" for real estate matters in our community. Additionally, she is currently earning an LLM in Real Estate law from UM. This shows Kara's powerful combination of practical knowlege and ability to grasp and effectively manage complex academic issues. I endorse Kara's work, professionalism and ethics without reservation.
