About Murdoch
Biography
Murdoch Walker, II is a native of Portland, Maine, and currently resides in Bluffton, South Carolina. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Union College in Schenectady, New York, and a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree, cum laude, from the Charleston School of Law in Charleston, South Carolina. While at the Charleston School of Law, Mr. Walker earned a CALI Award in Legal Research and Writing.
Since becoming an attorney, Mr. Walker has practiced law exclusively with Lowther | Walker LLC, and its predecessor firm, the National Federal Defense Group. He began his career with the New York County District Attorney’s Office in Manhattan; after sixteen months as a Trial Preparation Assistant with one of the office’s six trial bureaus, he spent almost three years as an Investigative Analyst with the Homicide Investigation Unit. Eventually, Mr. Walker relocated to the greater Hilton Head Island area of South Carolina, where he worked for approximately six years as both a narcotics investigator assigned to a state multi-jurisdictional drug task force and as a criminal investigator employed with the local prosecutor’s office’s Career Criminal Unit. For the majority of his tenure in narcotics investigation, Mr. Walker served as the area’s sole Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Task Force Officer, primarily investigating federal drug trafficking crimes.
As a member of Lowther | Walker LLC, Mr. Walker has coupled his vast experience in criminal investigations and prosecutions, with his knowledge of federal law and criminal defense work, and accordingly focuses his practice on defending clients in federal trial and appellate courts nationwide.
