Who I represent

Representation with purpose. Focused representation for employees.

Employment disputes are rarely simple. I provide candid assessments, not false promises, and pursue claims supported by the facts and the law.

Discrimination

Claims involving race, age, sex, pregnancy, disability, religion, or national origin.

Retaliation

Protection after reporting discrimination, requesting accommodations, or engaging in protected activity.

Disability & leave

ADA accommodation disputes and violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act.

Wage & hour

Unpaid overtime, off-the-clock work, and other claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

A different standard

Evaluate the facts carefully.Identify legal leverage.Pursue each claim strategically.

A clear-eyed approach to employment disputes

Experience & credibility

Litigation experience that matters.

Early in my career, I represented Fortune 500 companies in state and federal litigation. Today, that insight helps me anticipate how employers evaluate risk, document decisions, and defend claims.

Realistic expectations

Thoughtful advocacy

“I reached out to Marjorie to get her help with determining the best course of action for issues related to my recently being laid off. Time was of the essence — Marjorie responded quickly to get acquainted with my situation. She asked great questions, and took time to answer all of my questions completely and thoroughly! I felt as though I was talking to someone I could trust completely; Marjorie’s demeanor engenders an atmosphere of openness, transparency, trust, and professionalism. We worked together for just a short time, and we quickly came to agree on the best course of action. I would whole-heartedly recommend Marjorie to anyone searching for a direct, honest, transparent lawyer who will treat the client with respect.”

“I reached out to many law firms and mostly spoke with assistants — Marjorie was the first attorney I actually got to speak with directly. From the very first conversation, she stood out. She’s incredibly professional, straightforward, and honest, but also communicates clearly and promptly — which is rare these days, especially for someone running the entire practice herself. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and takes the time to make sure you understand every step of the process. I’m very grateful for her help and the way she handled my case.”

“I cannot say enough about Marjorie. She was patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire process. I was terminated from my job while on short-term disability after giving birth to my sleeping angel baby — an experience that was both heartbreaking and overwhelming. From our very first consultation, Marjorie transformed what felt like an impossible mountain into something I could face step by step. She kept me informed at every stage, offering thoughtful advice while always respecting my right to make the decisions that felt best for me. She answered my endless questions with patience, addressed every concern, and provided a sense of reassurance during one of the hardest times in my life. Marjorie truly went above and beyond to help resolve my situation, and I will always be grateful for her guidance and support. Thank you, Marjorie.”

“Marjorie was the ONLY lawyer in Houston who took the time to truly hear me out when everyone else turned a blind eye and because of her, everything worked out the way God intended it to. Marjorie is heaven sent. From day one, she was transparent, empathetic, realistic, and thorough. Her communication, patience, and professionalism are unmatched. She didn’t sugarcoat anything, but she always made sure I felt informed, supported, and empowered. I love her for the way she showed up for me. I genuinely believe God placed her in my life at the exact moment I needed her. If you’re looking for an attorney who will fight for you with honesty, heart, and unmatched dedication; this is the one. I am forever grateful. Marjorie and The Murphy Law Practice, I thank you.”
