A master strategist in employment litigation

Our company faced a complex wrongful termination lawsuit that threatened significant exposure. Engaging Tim Murphy was the best decision we made. His 40+ years of jury trial experience, particularly in employment law, was immediately evident. He didn't just react; he crafted a defense strategy that leveraged his deep understanding of California employment law and CEQA nuances related to our business operations. His calm, seasoned guidance through discovery and settlement negotiations was invaluable. The result was a highly favorable resolution that protected our interests completely. His recognition in labor and employment litigation is well-deserved. For any serious employment matter in San Francisco, Tim is the attorney you want.
