"Doug Murphy is one smart lawyer! His natural courtroom talent is a pleasure to watch and I don’t know many other lawyers as dedicated to their clients as Doug. Many years ago I was defending a particularly difficult DWI in Houston. Doug happened to walk in, watch about 5 minutes, and at a break gave me a hint about cross examining this particular police officer. Doug knew his history and shared it with me. It was very helpful and my client enjoyed an acquittal based largely on that cross examination. In sum, Doug is talented, trustworthy, and is willing to teach others. I highly endorse him!"
"I have known Doug for years. I have watched Doug achieve superb results consistently for his clients. I have worked with Doug and observed his litigation skill surpass what seemed like insurmountable odds. Doug also spends much of his time educating lawyers to improve their skills. Doug is always well versed in the law and willing to assist other lawyers. Anyone that is represented by Doug is in good hands. I endorse this lawyer."
"Doug Murphy is a great lawyer. Doug is one of the very best DWI lawyers in Texas. Doug is sharp and extremely knowledgeable in the law. Many other lawyers, including myself, call Doug for advise when we get hired on a DWI case. I have referred clients to Doug knowing that they will receive the best possible defense. Doug is well-respected in the legal community. When Doug walks into a courtroom, Prosecutors know that he means business. He is an outstanding lawyer & I highly recommend him."
"I had the pleasure of working with Doug Murphy for 8 plus years. I had the luxury of learning from his 15 plus years of fighting for his clients. Doug will work harder than any other lawyer, all the while, knowing more law than most other lawyers combined. He has a wealth of knowledge, experience, and expertise in all aspects of DWI law. Not only does he tirelessly fight for his clients, he volunteers his time helping other lawyers. Whether it is a lawyer in the courthouse with a question or traveling across the country to teach other lawyers, Doug is always gracious with his time and knowledge. Doug Murphy is a lawyer's lawyer. His family and friends, clients, and fellow lawyers are fortunate to have him; I certainly was to work with him and still am to call him my friend."
"Doug Murphy is a veteran trial lawyer and a master of his craft. He is a very intelligent and talented trial lawyer, and a top notch person."

"Doug Murphy is one of Texas's leading DWI defense lawyers. He has spent considerable time..to his clients' benefit...educating himself not just on the law but also the science behind the government's position on DWI cases. Anyone charged with DWI would be well-served to consult Doug. I endorse him completely."
"I endorse this lawyerDoug is a brilliant lawyer he will fight for his clients with great zest. he is couragous and honest and simply one of the best lawyers in texas.."
"I'm trying to be just like this man. This man is so good. He talks to a jury like they are people on the post office corner. It's powerful. I first saw him at Mastering Scientific Evidence Seminar in New Orleans in 2011, and he and Mimi Coffey won the DUI trial. He is an amazing DUI trial lawyer. I endorse this lawyer."
"Attorney Murphy is a very skilled and artful litigator of the highest order. His ability to advocate effectively for his position is remarkable. His reputation for achieving great results for the citizen accused by the government of a crime is well known. His reputation for excellence in all matters is a hard earned national one. This reputation far exceeds the bounds of his state as evidenced by this lawyer from Central Pennsylvania not only knowing of him but in that I can personally attest through first hand observation his high level of proficiency in litigation and in the defense of the citizen accused. Superior, fantastic and skilled. He is the one I would put in my corner every time."
