Best in DWI defense

First of all, DO NOT PUT YOURSELF IN A DWI POSITION it is no fun going through the process, as bad as military basic training and you have heard the saying "DWI you cannot afford it" they mean it. Now if you are charged with a DWI get experienced legal help. Doug Murphy is expensive, but worth every ...penny. I had a recent DWI and was in court several times before my case was settled. I sat through hours of watching a judge handing out DWI sentences that were all across the board depending on the circumstances including defense council. As I watched these sentences being awarded by the judge, I knew my circumstances and they were bad, and I really thought I was going to be hit hard by the process at best. When Mr. Murphy presented me with a settlement offered by the state, I was elated. Obviously Mr. Murphy was highly involved if not responsible for this settlement. Once again DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE, but if you do and are a dumb ass like I was, make sure you go to court with a Professional and there is none better than Doug Murphy!

Brilliant DWI Attorney

May 2017. Doug is a brilliant attorney with a wealth of knowledge. His expertise paid off in the court room. Doug was a blessing to my family. My spouse encountered his 3rd DWI which had huge domino affect on our household in ways I never could have imagine. My spouse and I, were very prayerful... in completing our search for the right attorney due to so much as at state. Doug was very honest, straight forth, compassionate and non judgmental. He handle every obstacle that was thrown our way and was very successful from the beginning. Doug successfully helped my spouse to keep his drivers licenses during the 7 month ordeal. In conclusion, Doug was a guardian angel. The case was dismissed.

Outstanding, Straightforward, & Results Oriented

First and foremost, Doug Murphy is an outstanding lawyer who cares about his clients while demonstrating a level of professionalism and knowledge that is all too rare. I definitely place Mr. Murphy in a league all his own. In mid-May of 2014, I found myself in an unfortunate situation and was cited... with DWI charge. The criminal justice system and process were overwhelming, even for someone like me who has a legal background (completely new territory for me). Shortly after my DWI arrest, I knew I needed an attorney, and I wanted an experienced one at that. I met with Doug Murphy and his legal team. They listened to me carefully as I explained the events that led to DWI arrest. This was not easy for me because I consider myself a principle-centered person and did not want to believe that I was in a DWI situation (the truth is that virtually anyone could be cited with a DWI). Mr. Murphy, understanding the facts of my case, said he could handle my case and would fight to provide me with the best defense possible (even if that meant going to trial). Over the course of the DWI process (which for me was long and at times emotionally draining), Doug would reassure me that everything would work-out fine and that I shouldn't let this DWI situation control my life... which was a very difficult thing for me to do. What helped me a great deal was Doug's willingness to meet on numerous occasions at his office to discuss my case. These meetings were extremely insightful and I could see how thoroughly Doug and his team were analyzing my case. At the end of the DWI process, I could not help but feel that I got the best and right attorney (which made me want to write this Avvo review). Overall, I cannot say enough about the legal excellence and professionalism that Mr. Murphy exemplifies. If you are looking for an attorney that will fight your case aggressively and is trustworthy, then get Doug Murphy on your side!

Saved me from losing job

Driving home from the Houston Rodeo BBQ Cookoff, I was pulled over by police in Brazoria county for running a yellow (soon to be red) light. I failed a field sobriety test and was charged with DWI. I knew of Doug Murphy's work and called him immediately after booking. My automobile was a compa...ny fleet car. Company policy was termination of employment for any DWI offense. Through great effort, Doug was able to get the DWI dismissed and the charge was reduced to speeding and running a red light. If not for Doug's fantastic "lawyering", I would have certainly lost my job. A year after the incident, Doug was also able to have the lesser charges removed from my driving record. I highly recommend Doug Murphy.
