I haven't been as vocal about what I DO as much because I have been so busy being who I AM- a dad, a storyteller and lawyer. I look at 2026 like I looked at 2012- a time to show folks why we are one of the best law firms in the country. Not just according to Forbes, but according to those we have served. I come to Law Offices of Phillips & Hunt & Walker every single day and work personal injury and wrongful death cases. I need you to tell your friends and family about us. I need more cases, clients and stories to tell. I will work my butt off to show you, your friends and family why I have the largest verdicts, best reviews and truly care about people. Help our small business grow. (904) 444-4444 jmp@floridajustice.com FloridaJustice.com

Lots of progress this week. Hey DCPS, time to do the right thing.

Still hoping to teach in DCPS again, artist Hope McMath shifts lawsuit jacksonville.com/story/news/… via @jaxdotcom

Hope McMath and her attorney, John Phillips, have filed an updated complaint in their federal lawsuit against DCPS and some school board members. firstcoastnews.com/article/n…

Heartbreaking that this is where we are. This was where Jordan Davis went to school and Bennett chose Paxon IB over Wolfson AP, but it was close.

Just heard from school. All are safe. An arrest was made over a threat. Senior student. It was serious enough that police came in with rifles. Am hearing that a gun was found but that is coming from students and not confirmed. Have seen videos of police with rifles walking halls

Press conference with my dear friend and client Hope McMath today at Law Offices of Phillips Hunt & Walker at 2 PM. We had a great ruling last week on the state’s attempt to punish her despite the First Amendment protections we all have. doah.state.fl.us/eALJ/eNotic…

Anyone hear anything about Wolfson in code yellow or internal lockdown?

A day was had. #duuuval

He once did something quite disgusting and publicly joked it was me. He’s sharp but as narcissistic as they come.

It’s a @JohnPhillips sighting on my TV

Yes, yes… the hair is shaggy again. Joey is cutting it tomorrow. It was sooooo good to see Rosa this weekend. She got the 1/1 signed Phillips Boy edition of @FolioWeekly on newsstands now. You can read the story here: folioweekly.com/2026/08/19/i… The tribute my mom and their grandmother at the end was long overdue. We love you, mom.

Innocent until proven guilty but he makes it hard to keep that presumption with the flame eyebrows. He looks like he should have been in Tiger King.

This is so morbidly unnecessary. Government service should not be analogous to blood sport. It’s why so few true citizens run. It’s polarized, weaponized and they want to scare you away. I will never be ashamed of the doors we knocked and the care we showed. Also love being back to what I do best. Pound sand, chump.

Ok. That’s hilarious.

Love these dudes.

Wrote a back to school article with my kids for @folioweekly which hit me in the feels. It’s coming out this week.

As a true empath, as a child, I was often a puzzle piece which didn’t fit. I still am. There’s something about being a deeply sensitive and intuitive human (particularly from Alabama) that made it a very difficult childhood, but I always had my mom to turn to who understood my soul. In 2011, I lost her. In 2012, I met Jordan Davis’s family and became a story teller for lives lost way too soon. No one had helped me tune that balance more than Lucy McBath and Ron Davis. When I met with Rashaud Field’s family, I walked into our conference room and immediately felt their pain and needed to get control quickly so as not to look like I was a mess when I needed to be the calm eye of that hurricane. It has made me really good at the hard cases. Their loss is channeled inside me. It is hard to explain. It’s harder to adapt to. And it doesn’t work the same for my own personal battles. My soul is happiest around pure people and children. Especially my three boys who were raised to love everyone. For every year of my career, we’ve given out backpacks to the same neighborhood of kids. No press release. No media. Just love. Today was that day. While narcissists and self absorbed folks often swirl around my head, email and court docket, I started the day feeling even more pain from a co-worker who lost someone. I was going through the pleasantries, but not appreciating the moment. Good luck in school. Here’s a backpack. And then came in this light of a kid. His energy- all of the families energies -slowly made my biological and neurological sensitivities appreciate the opportunity. The blessings. The team around me. Like the Schneider kids and Jordan, Brandon, Kalil, Rashaud and countless others, my balance was equalizing. Simply put, the misfit kid in me fits best when helping others. I say this to say- be kind. Teach your children to be kind. After Season 2 of tiger king came out, one of the guys who bullied me in middle school emailed and apologized. He said he was wrong and wanted to make it right decades later. Find that inside you. We are not all alike but we all have stuff inside us you can’t possibly know or appreciate. Love the weakest because one day they may be the strength you need. And you may be weak and grace makes bad days better. Love you all.

Or Philly. Truly not at all what I heard. Can’t wait to see him with Maxey and Philon.
