Trusted lawyer for our business

Fortunately it isn't often that we need legal advice or counsel for our business but when we do we've depended on Quinn. He is professional, responsive and candid in his advice; we always feel that we've been guided in the right direction and have been happy with him.

Litigation

-- Quinn defended our company in a “bet the company” personal injury litigation in the notoriously Plaintiff-friendly jurisdiction Madison County, Illinois. Quinn was an integral part of helping our company find a solution to resolve the case and his advice and counsel were invaluable throughout. I... highly recommend Quinn for any company seeking a truly gifted trial lawyer.”

Talented Trail Attorney

I have relied on Quinn’s advice and consolation on several legal issues and have always found him to be responsive and thorough. With regard to litigation, Quinn is a creative and talented trial attorney who always “out-prepares” his opposition to his client’s advantage. Perhaps most importantly, Q...uinn always keeps his client’s ultimate objective at the forefront of his trial strategy, and consistently develops unique and innovative strategies to help his clients reach those objectives. I would recommend Quinn for any mid-size business looking for an A-level trial attorney.

Top-notch attorney

Performed excellent work in business contracts, negotiations, and litigation. Obviously enjoys and excels in the trial setting as he was the bulldog we needed when it was appropriate. Personable and will actively seek out additional expert resources when required.

A Trusted Advisor

I relied on Quinn's counsel to settle a legal matter over the course of 13 months. Quinn took the time to listen and understand the details of our case before recommending a solution. Together we developed a strategy that would accomplish our goals and achieve the settlement we were looking for. I re...commend Quinn to anyone looking for an organized professional attorney to represent them.

"Quinn is a very creative outside-the-box thinker. This affords Quinn the ability to efficienly evaluate a situation and develop a strategy that is most advantageous to the client for resolving the problem. It's a skill too often overlooked by a client, but is probably the single biggest money-saver in a contested lawsuit."

"Quinn Murphy is a professional in the courtroom and personal outside of it. He possesses the unique combination of understanding with true experience and knowledge of litigation. He excels in pressure situations and puts in more energy than 99% of those practicing. For 15 years I've seen him stand out in the classroom and outside of it, practice and perfect his craft in the court room, and develop relationships that last with clients and peers. It's an honor to endorse him as a counselor and litigator."
