Why This Firm
The Murphy name has stood for aggressive Baltimore trial advocacy for more than 70 years and three generations. The firm's reputation rests on civil-rights cases other firms wouldn't take — including landmark settlements against the City of Baltimore and high-profile police-misconduct verdicts. With a reported 90% state-court success rate and a 23-plaintiff Inner Harbor carbon-monoxide case that produced $34.33 million in awards, this is the firm you go to when the case is hard, public, and against a defendant with resources. Contingency-only.
