I am a trial attorney and partner with Slovak, Baron Empey Murphy & Pinkney LLP. Currently, my practice is primarily complex civil litigation (contract, land use, trade secrets, unfair business practices and intellectual property) and plaintiff's personal injury with an emphasis on the transmission of sexually-transmitted disease claims. Depending on the nature of the case, I handle both hourly-fee cases and contingency fee cases. In every case, I will discuss your matter free of charge to determine if I or my firm can help you and if you wish to retain us.
Over the years, I have represented individuals and companies on a wide range of issues, including banking and financial services, employment claims, unfair competition, multi-jurisdictional product liability/recall actions, public and private construction disputes featuring delay/disruption/acceleration claims, and professional liability claims.
In addition to law, I am avid golfer with a low single digit handicap, and I coach my twin boys' 9 and under baseball team.

I do not recommend
I was very disappointed by Mr Murphy. He did not respect my wishes. His communication was poor . no word from him for days right before a trial and He left me in a worse position rather than helping. He did not act in my best interest.
"Shaun is an excellent attorney with great attention to detail. We had a trial against each other and throughout the litigation he always acted with the utmost courtesy and professionalism while fighting for his client. I highly recommend him."
"Shaun Murphy is an outstanding lawyer. He knows his practice area in and out, has extensive connections in the industry, and has secured highly publicized verdicts. I wholeheartedly endorse this attorney."
"Mr. Murphy is an outstanding lawyer who has accomplished spectacular results in the courtroom. His dedication to his clients puts him above 99% of the lawyers that I have ever met. He has a sterling reputation and impeccable ethics."
