The law firm of Brennan, Manna & Diamond recently welcomed Matthew Harrod to the Jacksonville office. Harrod’s legal expertise includes probate and trust administration, business planning and contracts, wealth preservation and asset protection, trademark filings, creation of 501(c)(3) organizations, and trust and estate planning.

Matt Harrod is currently a BOARD MEMBER EMERITUS for True Blue.

His board member emeritus position provides immense satisfaction in helping to enrich the lives of service families. 

“The men and women in the Navy sacrifice a lot, but we sometimes forget that the families they leave behind while on active duty also sacrifice a lot,” Harrod said.
One True Blue project he's involved in is under construction near Lake Wonderwood, at the Navy base in Mayport.“The Lake Wonderwood multi-use trail will be a multi-faceted recreational amenity that includes fitness, environmental education, family gathering opportunities and passive recreation," he explained.

What challenges this accomplished attorney? He says it is the never-ending struggle to balance the need to do great work for clients and build the law firm business at the same time.

The legal community has noticed Harrod’s hard work. He was nominated for the Ultimate Attorneys 2015 list by the Jacksonville Business Journal. Down time finds him golfing, watching football, or spending time with family and friends.

Congratulations, Matt!  We wish you continued success in your career and thank you for your contributions to True Blue and the Navy Families we support.

True Blue wass fortunate to be one of the 16 charities selected to participate in THE PLAYERS 17th Hole Charity Shootout held on Monday, April 4, 2016 at the 17th Hole of THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass. 

​With several True Blue Board Members and supporters present, Professional Golfer Frank Lickliter II landed his shot 1'6" from the hole in Round 2. This close shot was enough to earn the 2nd prize award of $5,000 and an automatic entry in next year's challenge!
