Giving Employees a Voice
Since 2010, The Murphy Law Practice has represented employees in serious workplace disputes against large employers. I work closely with clients to understand their circumstances, evaluate legal risk realistically, and advocate strategically in cases involving discrimination, retaliation, and other unlawful employment practices. When I take a case, I do so with focus, discipline, and the experience necessary to hold employers accountable.
Board Certified in Labor & Employment Law
Texas Board of Legal Specialization
Focused Representation for Employees
I represent employees—not employers—in complex employment law matters, including:
- Discrimination based on race, age, sex, pregnancy, disability, religion, or national origin
- Retaliation for reporting discrimination, requesting accommodations, or engaging in protected activity
- Disability and accommodation disputes under the ADA
- Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) violations
- Wage-and-hour claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act, including unpaid overtime and off-the-clock work
Employment disputes are rarely simple. I provide candid assessments, not false promises, and pursue claims that are supported by the facts and the law.
EXPERIENCE & CREDIBILITY
Litigation Experience that Matters
For the first decade of my legal career, I represented Fortune 500 companies in state and federal litigation, including matters involving the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Truth in Lending Act, Texas Finance Code, and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. That experience gives me insight into how employers evaluate risk, document decisions, and defend claims.
Today, I use that knowledge to advocate for employees and to anticipate how cases are defended in arbitration and court. My approach is strategic, evidence-driven, and grounded in how decision-makers actually evaluate employment disputes.
TRAINING & SPEAKING
Employment Law Training for Leaders & HR
In addition to representing employees, I provide practical employment law training for executives, managers, and human resources professionals who want to understand how everyday workplace decisions become legal claims. These programs are grounded in real litigation and arbitration experience and focus on identifying risk early—before issues escalate into costly disputes.
Training programs address retaliation prevention, disability and accommodation requests, FMLA compliance, investigations, documentation, and wage-and-hour risk.

Whether in litigation, arbitration, or negotiation, my focus is on outcomes—not theatrics.
