About Francis
Biography
Fran has a diverse litigation practice at Shaheen and Gordon, P.A. He likes to point out that not every case is a million-dollar case, but every case deserves his devoted attention even after an initial loss. Sometimes the road to victory is not straightforward; Fran goes the extra mile for his clients.
Francis G. Murphy’s Philosophy of Giving Back:
“I have spent much of my legal career helping injured people. Although cases resolve in terms of money, I have received the greatest satisfaction when I see something tangible that comes from that money.
Sometimes it is just having outstanding medical bills paid and calls from collection agencies ended. Other times, it has been a new wheelchair or handicapped van or hospital bed that allows an impaired client a measure of comfort. On many occasions, we have been able to set aside money for a minor that will be used to fund college.
I believe it is important for all of us – but especially for lawyers – to give back to our professions and our communities. Below are some of the matters that I have been involved with over the years. Next to helping clients (and my family), these matters have given me great enjoyment.”
