Law schools tell students “don’t get involved with your client’s problems”.  We take great pride in the fact that our trial lawyers do the exact opposite. That philosophy is what made Brian Murphy a perfect fit for RGLZ.  A proven trial lawyer in both civil and criminal cases, he is a tireless advocate for his clients.

We know what makes a real trial lawyer. It takes talent and drive to show the light to juries who often look at accident victims with skepticism. In addition to representing catastrophically injured clients, Brian uses his courtroom skills representing those who have been arrested and need a criminal defense attorney. He has the right stuff and is a tireless advocate for each client he represents. We are proud to have him as part of our firm.
