When someone is facing a criminal charge, it’s easy to focus on the immediate court date and overlook the long-term consequences.

But decisions made early in a case—sometimes before the first court appearance—can shape the outcome months or even years down the road.

At Murphy & McKinney Law Firm, we focus on the full picture from day one: protecting rights, identifying leverage early, and making sure short-term decisions don’t create long-term problems.

Experience matters most at the beginning.

The report said one thing. The video showed another.

Our client was facing serious consequences based on a police narrative that didn’t match the reality. The dashcam told a different story—and that difference made all the difference.

As veteran criminal trial lawyers with Board Certification in Criminal Law, we quietly fight to protect our clients’ reputations, records, and futures.
