Murphy Ball Stratton LLP

We are a premier team of civil and white-collar trial and appellate lawyers. We are deeply experienced with every stage of civil and white-collar disputes. Collectively, our lawyers have handled 140+ trials, 400+ depositions, 350+ investigations, 600+ district court arguments, 50+ appellate arguments, and thousands of briefs. We are at home in both federal and state courts in Texas and Louisiana and we regularly represent clients in other jurisdictions, too. Our 9 lawyers have top credentials, with 13 judicial clerkships between them: 1 U.S. Supreme Court clerkship, 1 Texas Supreme Court clerkship, 7 U.S. Courts of Appeals clerkships, and 4 U.S. District Court clerkships. Individually or as a firm, we’ve been recognized as among the best in the country by Chambers & Partners, Best Lawyers, the American College of Trial Lawyers, Benchmark Litigation, Lawdragon, Superlawyers, Texas Monthly, Houston Lawyer, and more. We have a track record of success in high-stakes cases, because we bring strategic thinking, unmatched work ethic, and excellent oral and written advocacy to each aspect of a matter. And we do all of this at reasonable hourly rates and under nimble alternative fee arrangements – significantly less than what big law firms charge for lawyers of our caliber. Maximizing value for clients is a top priority. For matters that matter, this is smart law.
